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!!

Episode 7: How to Help a Food Forest Recover
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How do you help your garden or food forest after a natural disaster? Regardless of where you live, increasing weather extremes can have a massive impact on the food forest and home garden. If you are in the cooler climates, the harder (and dry) winter months can wreak havoc on your fruit trees. In the coastal regions, hurricanes can leave us in panic mode before or after the storm hits. And nation-wide, hail, drought, or tornado threats can cause unnecessary stress.
This podcast gives practical and strategic ways to help your food forest and garden recover when you experience any of these external stressors. We'll talk about how to strengthen the root systems naturally, the best ways to cover the soil, how and when to prune a fruit tree. We will specifically talk about how to help plants recover from a deep freeze, and give several more practical tips to boost your food forest and improve the recovery process.
Get ready for a great episode of our permaculture, planty podcast.
