What's up everyone? Welcome back to the show. Today this is a sad day because it's the final

episode of Ryan McAllister, the personal gardener of the one and only Martha Stewart.

So today I figured you know what let's have some fun. Let's talk

to him about some of the experiments that he's been running in the garden and see if

there's anything fruitful, unintended, that we can run with in our own gardens.

We get into a little bit on the Straw Bail method as well.

So I really do hope you've enjoyed this series with Ryan.

I try to bring guests on every now and then to just highlight some things that I don't know

and I can seek out expertise from other people and bring it to you.

So if you've liked this, definitely let me know know somehow you can just send me a message

Kevin at epic gardening.com or you can send me an Instagram message I'm very active there these days

at at epic gardening so check that out as well and without further ado let's bring it in to the final episode with Ryan McAllister.

Okay so speaking about things that you've tried in the garden do you think you could share a couple I don't know

experiments that either succeeded or failed that maybe you were surprised by the

results well one and this related to you because I know we were talking

about the other day you mentioned

the haybales that you wanted to plant stuff in yeah so one of the things that we

did was we have there's two of the big greenhouses here like I talked about the

big glass and metal ones and then we have a couple like plastic, permanent, but plastic hoop houses that we store a lot of the tropicals in for the winter.

So as an added level of insulation around them because the sides

roll up. So we roll down the sides and then we order extra hay in and put hay

bales all the way around the greenhouse is just to kind of insulate and during the winter.
