Hi, everybody. This is Joe Lample, the Joe behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe Gardner show.

This week, I picked a special encore episode for you that is quite timely for this season.

0:11.0

And what I think that's going to resonate with nearly all of you, either right now or at least very soon.

0:16.0

How does the conversation on reducing weed overwhelm sound?

0:20.0

Even better, I'm having that conversation with one of my favorite people on Earth, Margaret Roach.

0:26.0

And I know a lot of you are big fans of hers as well. She has a great podcast and she's a delight to listen to and talk to.

0:33.0

But this hits the sweet spot between fun and informative. So I'm really excited to bring this one back to you for today.

0:40.0

And as I was getting ready for our next podcast for this time slot, I started thinking about all the weeds that I had seen outside over the past weekend.

0:49.0

And just kind of being really surprised about how quickly they've cropped up so fast and so furious.

0:55.0

And they're just not going away. And so that can become very overwhelming quickly.

1:00.0

And if that's happening for me and I've had this conversation with Margaret already, I kind of know how to deal with the overwhelm.

I thought maybe a revisit of this episode or maybe for you, it's the first time you've heard it.

1:11.0

But it's probably just what the doctor ordered for all of us really.

1:16.0

And so as I said, this is a fun and informative conversation that I think is really going to connect with a lot of you.

1:22.0

1:37.0

If you live in their delivery zone, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, listen up.

1:44.0

Soil cubed is humus compost comprised of simple ingredients from their own farm and trusted partners, which means they know where their inputs are coming from.

1:52.0

And that's a big deal. Soil cubed is army listed for certified organic gardening. And it's the only composted soil that I trust and use beyond what I make myself.

2:01.0

This year soil cubed has a new product in its lineup, veggie mix. It's still 75% of their original product, but with the addition of aged bark finds and refined wood fiber for improved drainage.
