Hi! We are Christy and Edith, backyard gardeners from Colorado. Lately, we have noticed more and more people picking our brains for tips and trouble-shooting about gardening. We think it’s kinda funny, because we’re not experts. We just learned a lot about gardening from the mistakes we made along the way. You always hear about Victory gardens – but what about all the garden failures? Gardening is about learning, experimenting and rolling with the punches. Every week we share our most epic garden failures and our biggest garden lessons. Most gardens are the result of trial and error. To reduce your chance of failure, join us in our gardens. And learn why you should plant your tulips butt side down. Winner of Best New Podcast at 2020 Colorado Podcast Awards!

2. First Two Commandments of Gardening: How to Water and Mulch

Tuesday Jul 21, 2020

Mother Nature came down from the mountain to give us the two most important commandments for the garden: watering and mulching. And yes, there’s a right way and a wrong way. Or, in gentler terms, there’s a good way and a way that wastes water and can spread disease. Is it even a contest? There, we are being delicately rough. (See Ep. 1 for reference.)

We discuss Edith’s pandemic haircut (not good) and agree that the garden doesn’t judge. A listener’s concern about blossom end rot on his tomatoes is discussed. As is tomato rust. And mulch. Why you should always mulch it! Where and how. A mystery: what is growing out of Christy’s compost pile? How might it involve a little bird’s butt? What the heck is evapotranspiration? What is the meaning of life? No, we don’t solve that, but it probably comes down to gardening.
