Have you ever wondered why some gardens seem to thrive while others constantly need more fertiliser, more water and more attention?
In this episode, we're talking about the biggest mistake many gardeners make – focusing on feeding the plant instead of feeding the soil.
I'll explain why healthy soil is the foundation of every productive vegetable garden, how poor soil can become an expensive cycle to break, and the simple things you can start doing now to build a garden that produces more while relying less on fertilisers and other bought products.
I'll also share a farm update, introduce our newest Anglo Nubian buckling, Loki, and chat about what we're doing around the property as we get ready for spring.
