Conflicting Gardening Advice: Who Should We Believe? - Ep. 151
06/07/23 • 16 min
Sometimes it is very difficult to sift through all the information and advice we get as gardeners and to know what exactly we should be doing out there. This source says one thing, that blog says another thing, and the book on our bedside swears those other two are incorrect. What are we supposed to do?
Today we’re talking about two specific pieces of advice I was asked about over the weekend that seem to be complete opposites of each other but, in reality, they are two sides of the same coin. One of those pieces of advice came from me and how you act on that, and other pieces of advice, totally depends on your unique gardening situation. We’ll go deeper into that on today’s show.
We’ll also announce the winner of our 50k giveaway and I’ll share how my day in the garden went. It might just make you feel a little better about yours. Let’s dig in!

If you're in the U.S. Midwest, squash bugs and squash vine borers often keep you from getting your best zucchini harvest.
