    FASCINATING!!
    I just recently found the podcast and I can’t put it down! Or should I say turn it off?! I’ve been binge listening and plan on going back to listen to them all again when I’m done. There’s just so much information my little brain cant absorb it all in one shot!

    The Dirt on Soil
    This show is entertaining and easily digestible for folks wanting to learn how to maximise their garden’s potential. Although some of the concepts discussed are cutting edge biology, these guys deliver it in a fun and easily understood manner. Highly recommended. Z. Craig

    Taking my garden game to the next level
    I grew up with gardening parents in Anchorage and we’d always consult the Jeff Lowenfels column before making big decisions. Now as an “adult” who is responsible for my own plot of soil, I have so enjoyed listening to this podcast as I’ve worked in the garden this summer. Seems like we had better weather in Juneau than you guys did in Anchorage, sorry to say! Thank you for such a thoughtful and engaging program and I sure hope it will continue for many seasons to come. -Libby 🍄

    Love this!
    Who knew a gardening podcast could be so engaging. Well, probably many people, but I am pleasantly surprised :) I've been reading Jeff for years but I love listening to the discussion and personal experiences
  • nerka3
    Excellent for Alaskan gardening!
    I have been struggling with gardening in Anchorage, Alaska for many, many years and I was a loyal reader of Jeff’s column in ADN so this podcast was a great idea and it is fancy! My garden is a little more successful now because of all of this.
  • Ak Sabra
    Best gardening podcast
    So much great information presented in an approachable way. I appreciate that the science is explained in plain English, and that there no shaming if you have not done organic gardening in the past. Thanks, I look forward to each new episode.

    Already a valuable show and just getting started
    Jeff needs no introduction, and this show is already a great listen. I look forward to each new episode and enjoy listening while I garden or go for hikes outside. The best thing about information in this day and age is it’s so readily available. As long as you want to learn, there’s great info if you know where to look. Thanks for the great show guys, it’s already opened my eyes to many ways to improve my garden 👏🏻

    The man the legend with a podcast! Sooth me to sleep Mr. Lowenfels with your whispers of a healthy network of microbial communities. You’re a blessing to the world we walk, breath, eat and live from.
