#45 - The Art of Fermentation | Miles Filipeli [Fermented Plant Extracts]
In this episode, I sit down with Miles Filipeli to take a clear and practical look at fermentation for soil health — focusing on Fermented Plant Extracts (FPEs) and how they can improve nutrient availability, plant resilience, and overall garden vitality.I'm a huge fan of Miles, and he has extensive experience teaching growers and home gardeners how to create their own biological inputs using local plant material, microbes, and time. His approach is rooted in observation, simplicity, and working with natural processes, rather than relying on synthetic or imported products.We discuss:• What defines a true fermented plant extract• Selecting plants with intention — and what local “weeds” can indicate about soil conditions• The microbial dynamics that make nutrients more plant-available• How ferments support disease resistance, mineral uptake, and flavour density• Key principles for brewing successful FPEs at home• Common mistakes and how to avoid them• When, where, and how to apply ferments effectively in the gardenThis conversation is centred around practical skill-building, improving soil function, and gaining confidence in creating your own fertility inputs on-site. Whether you’re growing a home garden or managing a larger-scale system, this episode offers grounded guidance on working with living biology to build healthier soil and healthier plants.Follow Miles HERE:https://fermentedplantextracts.com/https://www.instagram.com/fermentedplantextracts/https://www.facebook.com/fermentedplantextractsNEW 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

#43 - A Tomorrow Of Togetherness | Jade Miles [Black Barn Farm]
In this episode I’m joined by Jade Miles, co-founder of Black Barn Farm in north-east Victoria — a thriving u-pick orchard and learning space where she and her family live out the values of what she calls Futuresteading: living like tomorrow matters.We talk about the growing ache so many of us feel — that sense of disconnection from land, food, and community — and how small, intentional choices can help us find our way back. Jade shares stories from her life on the farm, what it means to live regeneratively, and why ritual, belonging and slowing down matter more than ever.It’s a gentle, grounding conversation about remembering our place in nature and rebuilding the threads that hold us to each other and the earth.Follow Jade HERE:https://linktr.ee/blackbarnfarmfuturesteadinghttps://www.instagram.com/black_barn_farm/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

#42 - People Power Creates Change | Jessie Reimers
This week we are joined by the powerful Jessie Reimers, a beacon of light in a world that can seem overwhelming in our current climate. Jessie shares her story of regaining her own health after a plethora of illnesses at an early age. After turning her own health around, she focused on helping others and successfully brought about systemic change to our very own heart foundation classification. We speak on the current Fire Ant Eradication Program that is underway here in QLD and the unfortunate impact that this blanket chemical usage is having on our ecosystems, our wildlife, pets and our own families.
