2023/03/22

Today I spoke with Lisa Kristy about all things vermicompost, including how to get set up, what to feed, how to care for your worms, what to do with the compost, and so much more! I am relatively squeamish, so the idea of worms in my house didn't really appeal to me until this chat with Lisa - now I'm super excited to get started! OH! One thing I learned - it oftentimes isn't worth the money to get bags of worm castings at the store - she explains why ... Thank you, Lisa, for

2023/03/20

I really enjoyed this chat with Ashley Waligura. She originally reached out to me to talk on the show about creative composting - which certainly piqued my interest! Then when she shared that she considers herself an accidental composter, I knew this would be a fun story to hear. This show is pretty laid back - there are some things that maybe should have been edited but in reality, it just goes along with the theme which is to do the thing, no matter how imperfect because you'll learn along

Today, I had the opportunity to interview Triffawna Witt of Alaska Traditional Preservation to learn what permaculture is, why it's such a beneficial way to garden (and live), and a few tweaks to make it work for Alaska. We even got to chat for a minute about hugelkultur beds which are my newest obsession! We
