Obsessed with Plants Podcast
Welcome to the Obsessed with Plants podcast with David Starbird and Kristofer Edler. This deep-dive podcast will cover some of the nerdy topics that need a little more attention in the permaculture community. Both David and Kris have extensive backgrounds in regenerative agriculture with years of growing experience. In this introductory prelude to the podcast, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know your hosts a bit and learn about their passion and experience.
And along for the journey are our friends, a diverse group of plant, animal, and ecosystem enthusiasts; we all share a passion for education and learning. However, with a group that loves to ramble for hours... and hours, it's hard to condense their info into a short video.
So that's where this podcast comes in! The goal of the podcast is to provide useful information that we normally summarize into very brief snippets.
And to give an outlet to ramble on about our love for plants.
Each episode will be themed and cover a range of topics.
We hope you love our rambling about plants, and we hope to see you in the garden!!

A successful food forest starts with rich and living soil. If you want to experience high yields of fruit and vegetables from your food forest, the soil life is the key to abundance. As with all things, there are many ways to approach soil building, amending, and fertilization within a regenerative system. Some methods require human interaction, while others invite animals within the system. Some methods are free, while others will cost money for the whole ingredients.
This episode covers the gold standards of fertilizing fruit trees and food forests, how to engage in best practices for chop-and-drop, composting methods, and dives into whole ingredient soil amending. So, if you are wondering how to organically fertilize a food forest - this episode is worth saving and bookmarking for future reference.
