OGPod Episode 4: Iain Tolhurst and Tolhurst Organics
Today, we have a wonderful conversation with Iain Tolhurst a.k.a Tolly of Tolhurst Organics. It’s a long one but there are so many gems in here that I couldn’t possibly leave any of them out. The whole point of this podcast is to share knowledge among growers so if it takes you a few bites of the apple to get the end then so be it - it will be worth it! We talk about many of the things Tolly is well-known for, including woodchip and green manures but I was also keen to get him talking about the other side of the coin, which is sales. We also discuss Tolly’s longevity as an organic grower (nearing 50 years now) and his advice for new entrants. His perseverance shone through when he agreed to go ahead with the interview despite having a stinking cold. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
