Loving Your Garden - Better Gardening Podcast
Loving Your Garden is a Facebook Group set up by broadcaster Rod Whiting during the first Covid lockdown in April 2020. It has quickly grown to nearly 450 thousand passionate and inspiring gardeners, thanks in no small part to knowledgeable and expert members like John Stirland. John has more than fifty years of experience in horticulture and you can now access his knowledge and that of our members as we link our podcast to LYG’s fortnightly live feed. Each week, we’ll discuss the jobs to be done, plant suggestions and answer your questions. If you love your garden and aspire to be a better gardener, join our Facebook group (Link here: https://bit.ly/3oIzVr9), and increase your knowledge from the likes of John, our more experienced members and regular expert guests. Feel free to email your questions or suggestions on what you would like us to feature in our podcast to rod@lovingyourgarden.org Thanks for listening!

Using Height To Get the Best Out Of Your Garden
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week Rod and John discuss ways of using the free space above your garden to add another dimension to your outdoor space. Whether it's trees, shrubs or man-made structures, lifting the ceiling of your garden can make a world of difference.
John also touches on a couple of key jobs for this time of year for veg growers including tomato care and leek planting.
We also respond to a couple of member questions concerning distorted and wilting spring onions and whether Callicarpa needs acid soil.
As ever, there's a chapter tab if you want to focus on a specific topic. For more perspective on the gardening issues we're discussing, take a look at our Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/574905686709417
