Welcome, welcome everyone to the Epic Gardening podcast.

I hope you are doing very well and the garden is going in an epic fashion.

Kevin is here.

Liz Zorab is back on the podcast.

She is a home center from the UK and she's the author of Grounded, a gardener's journey

to abundance and self-sufficiency.

Liz, we were talking yesterday about our drastic, different growing climates, how crazy

different they are.

And I think we, despite that, there's still some practices that work well, kind of no

matter where you are and honestly, no matter what type of growing situation you're in

and it's this idea of sort of being a little bit lazier or more passive about your gardening

approach.

I know you've shared a little bit about that at this week, but just your philosophy

there.

I try and make sure that I create some sort of balance in the garden all the time.

So if I'm doing some sort of intervention, I want to make sure that I'm also compensating

for that.

So as we talked about, putting netting over brassicas, but I will then grow some brassicas

out in the open to compensate for that.

Yesterday we were talking about trying to deal with a lack of water or too much water

by using wood chips, so it's the same answer for the other ends of the scale of problems

one being wet and one being dry.
