  • Very informative and interesting

    I’ve become a subscriber today after listening to the episode with Becky Searle talking about soil. I listen to lots of gardening podcasts and I absolutely enjoy them all but I really felt I had learned something valuable here. I have no horticultural training but I’m a keen gardener and I particularly like to feel that I’m improving my knowledge as well as just listening along passively! Very pleased with this new find.
