Summary
I'm always encouraging gardeners to learn the "why do" behind the "how to," because I believe gaining that understanding makes us better at what we do, and to help me do that this week, I'm welcoming back to the podcast Robert Pavlis, a garden myth buster who can break down the plant science behind good gardening.
Download my free eBook 5 Steps to Your Best Garden Ever - the 5 most important steps anyone can do to have a thriving garden or landscape. It's what I still do today, without exception to get incredible results, even in the most challenging conditions.
