About this episode
🌱 This week we're talking about working with nature! Welcome to Tales From The Potting Bench, a planty podcast where you’ll hear all manner of stories from knowledgeable, passionate and invaluable people who love plants as much as you and I. We’re here at the monumental 7th season of the podcast and thanks to you, the listeners, we’re back with even more guests and this season promises to be even bigger, even better and with even more planty goodness! This season I'm focussing on those people who really know what they're talking about in a series of episodes I'm calling ' Experts In Their Field '. Along with a brand-new season, is a brand-new sponsor, and I’m thrilled to share that I’m joined for season 7 by the powerhouse of the plant world, Westland Horticulture . Westland are dedicated to empowering everyone with the skills, knowledge, and tools to help every gardener give it their best, season after season. Great gardening starts with great compost, and Westland has a trusted range of composts for your every gardening need, from giving your baskets and containers the best start in life filling your vegetable patch with nutrients ahead of a bountiful season. Our gardens connect us with nature, more than we might even realise. Some of us grow edibles either through necessity or for enjoyment, and others fill their growing spaces with ornamentals instead, but we all share the common joy of growing through one form or another. But someone who I know who is connected to nature perhaps more than anyone else I know is permaculturalist, Huw Richards. Huw has spent his time sharing how he grows and exactly how he does that in tandem with nature. In this episode we discuss the key principles of permaculture, what it means and so much more. Enjoy! If you’d like to find out more about Huw then do make sure to follow him on Instagram where you’ll find him as @ huwsgarden . Huw’s latest book ‘The Self Sufficiency Garden’ is out now from DK and his upcoming book ‘The Permaculture Garden’ is scheduled to be released in March 2025. If listening to Huw has given you the bug to get serious with veg then I’d highly recommend you try out Westland’s Organic Vegetable Plant Food . A feed that provides every essential nutrient to boost your vegetable garden growth! No matter what your growing space is like, whether you have just a few pots, a single raised bed, a grow-bag or even a whole allotment, feeding your plants will give you an abundance of stronger, healthier and tastier vegetables while at the same time prevent disease too! ✍️ Read My Latest Blog: Click Here 💻 My Website: Visit Here ☕ Join my Patreon: Click Here 📩 Email Me: Here!
