• #49 - Terrariums: Ecosystem In A Bottle | Cass [PlantWithCass]

  This week I sat down with Cass from PlantWithCass, a Sydney-based terrarium maker and workshop host who’s all about helping people grow better little ecosystems inside glass. In this episode we dug into what actually keeps them healthy long term – the water cycle, the soil balance, airflow, light and the natural progression of plants as the system matures.Cass shared heaps of practical insight from running Sydney workshops and seeing the same questions (and mistakes) pop up again and again. We spoke about choosing plants that work not just for the first few weeks, but months down the track, thinking about how things grow upward and outward, which plants eventually create structure or shade, and why understanding that slow succession inside a closed system makes such a difference.We also talked about why glass ecosystems can sometimes look perfect when they’re built, then struggle later, how humidity, compacted soil or still air can quietly throw the balance out, and how a good terrarium is really just nature doing its thing on a mini scale.Big thanks to Cass for joining me, and thankyou as always for tuning in. Let us know what resonated with you!?Follow Cass HERE:https://www.plantwithcass.com/https://www.instagram.com/plantwithcass/https://www.facebook.com/plantwithcassCass on The Gardeners Lodge:https://open.spotify.com/episode/0mFtICg3tc5yk1h4FPtkHk?si=17f3d02f1e194ceaNEW Intermediate Organic Growers Guide:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-intermediate-guide-to-growing-organic#1 Blend Fertiliser:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/1-blend-complete-organic-fertiliser-mixFREE Beginners Organic Growers Guide:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-beginner-s-guide-to-growing-organic __________________________________________________________Follow The Shed Organics HERE!Website: https://www.theshedorganics.com.auFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theshedorganicsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theshedorganicsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShedOrganicsTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theshedorganicsTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/theshedorganicsLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/jordan-alexander-794469333

• #48 - Can Hydroponics Save Our Food Crisis? | Bohdi Gardener [Fran's Hydroponics]

  In this episode I sit down with Bohdi from Fran’s Hydroponics here in Brisbane to dive into a world I’ve been genuinely curious about for a long time — hydroponics, and what it really means for the future of growing food.We chat about the big differences between soil-based gardening and hydro systems, from how the plants feed, to the role of nutrients, to what that means for the flavour and quality of the final harvest. I loved hearing Bodhi’s perspective on why hydroponics isn’t “better or worse”, just different, and how each approach has its place depending on what you’re trying to grow.We also dig into the idea of hydro as a potential solution for the challenges we’re facing in today’s food system. Could urban apartments, small homes, and high-rise buildings become mini farms? Can people produce genuinely healthy food for themselves even without soil and space? It was a really grounded and refreshing conversation that opens up a lot of possibilities.Bohdi walks me through the gear too — lighting, humidity, airflow, nutrient management, and how to set up an indoor grow space so plants actually thrive. If you’ve ever looked at hydroponics and thought, “It’s too complicated,” this episode will make it feel a lot more achievable.Really enjoyed this chat and I think you will too.If you want to learn more about what Bohdi and the team are doing, check out Fran’s Hydroponics in Brisbane.Follow Fran's Hydroponics HERE:https://franshydroponics.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/frans_hydroponics/NEW Intermediate Organic Growers Guide:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-intermediate-guide-to-growing-organic#1 Blend Fertiliser:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/1-blend-complete-organic-fertiliser-mixFREE Beginners Organic Growers Guide:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-beginner-s-guide-to-growing-organic __________________________________________________________Follow The Shed Organics HERE!Website: https://www.theshedorganics.com.auFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theshedorganicsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theshedorganicsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShedOrganicsTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theshedorganicsTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/theshedorganicsLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/jordan-alexander-794469333

• #47 - Great Pastures To Great People | Nick Holliday [Belvedere Farm]

  In this episode, I sit down with Nick from Belvedere Farms here in Queensland — a family who’ve taken run-down, chemical heavy land and turned it into a living, breathing example of what real, regenerative food can be. Our conversation isn’t just about farming techniques; it’s about the slow, steady work of building soil, nurturing community, and letting the land teach you as much as you shape it.Nick shares openly about the journey he and his family have been on and the joy in seeing healthy soil come back to life. It's the bigger purpose behind growing food that genuinely nourishes people. We dive into what it means to grow with intention, to work with nature rather than pushing against it, and how these small, daily decisions can ripple out into something much larger than a single farm.This is one of those grounded, honest chats that leaves you thinking about where your food comes from and how much is possible when people commit to doing things the right way!Remember, if you enjoyed the conversation, be sure to show it to your friends, or even let me know what you liked in the comments below... thankyou!Follow Belvedere HERE:https://www.belvederefarm.com.au/https://www.facebook.com/belvederefarmers/https://www.instagram.com/belvederefarmers/NEW Intermediate Organic Growers Guide:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-intermediate-guide-to-growing-organic#1 Blend Fertiliser:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/1-blend-complete-organic-fertiliser-mixFREE Beginners Organic Growers Guide:https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-beginner-s-guide-to-growing-organic __________________________________________________________Follow The Shed Organics HERE!Website: https://www.theshedorganics.com.auFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theshedorganicsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theshedorganicsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShedOrganicsTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theshedorganicsTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/theshedorganicsLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/jordan-alexander-794469333
