About this episode
🪱🍄🟫 This week we’re discussing soil, soil health and the importance of proper mulching! 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. When we learn to garden, we start with the real basics – how to sow a seed, which plants work well in our gardens and so much more (theres a pun there if you keep listening…). But one thing that we know to be true, is that we need to look after your soil and in return our soil will look after our plants. And theres no one I’d trust more when it comes to advice on soil health than ecologist and soil expert, Becky Searle, otherwise known as Sow Much More on Instagram. In this episode, Becky shares all about why our soil is important, what we can do to improve and exactly how we can go about doing it.
