The Shed Organics Show

On this episode of the podcast I sat down with Matt Barnes from Easy As Organics. Matt is a well known figure in the world of organic living soil here in Australia and has been involved with many of the prominent names across in the US and beyond.

His vision is simple, to provide a high quality organic living soil potting mix in a bag for the consumer to buy. Together with Tad Hussey from KIS Organics they have developed a top tier mix ready for anyone to get started on their growing journey.

In this conversation we spoke about his journey in creating a great product, what inputs are important and how to determine quality, as well as what good watering can do for living soil. Bring your notepads because this chat is loaded with information ready for the home grower and beyond...

In the modern world, when we are plagued by illness and disease, we turn to modern pharmaceutical medicines to help us feel better again. Unfortunately, many of these prescribed fixes don't actually address the root causes, and only mask symptoms.

Today we are joined by Naturopath Carmen Lizasoain, who is here to discuss with us the power of healing found in our own gardens. For centuries, humans have turned to their gardens as their medicine cabinet, discovering a treatment for pretty much all that threatens our health in the plants we find around us.

I am fascinated by this world of plant medicines, and this conversation was really special and important for us all to hear.

In this episode, I chat with Jo Henley from Henley's Rustics - a father-and-daughter business handcrafting beautiful, sustainable garden beds and wicking garden beds from reclaimed corrugated iron.

Jo is passionate about helping people grow—whether it’s fresh veggies, a patch of flowers, or a stronger connection to gardening. What started as a little project between father and daughter has grown into a thriving small business.

In this conversation we spoke about the incredibly authentic beginnings of the business and the serendipity around it's timing. We dive into how helping growers has become such a huge passion and motivation for Jo, and how the gardening community at large is such a welcoming, warm & helpful space to be sharing knowledge, challenges and of course the wins.

This conversation was a real one, and one that has stuck with me. I have no doubt that you will also find a lot of motivation and joy from Jo's story.

This weeks guest is Shavorn Stones - a fantastic home gardener growing incredible flowers, veges and many more... She also comes from a farming family, who is working tirelessly to provide us as consumers with the food and produce that we need.

In this conversation we touch on the hard work and difficulties faced by farming families, and how that has impacted her view of agriculture. We also go through Shavorn's tips and tricks for getting the most out of your home garden, including avoiding some of the naughty critters that love to share in a mouthful of fresh vege!

I loved chatting to Shavorn this week and would love to hear what you thought of the conversation. If you enjoyed it, please consider subscribing or leaving us a review.
