The Shed Organics Show

Wow what a fun episode this week with the incredible Mickey Pascoe from Little Acre Gourmet Mushrooms. Little Acre is responsible for bringing easy to use home starter kits for consumers to grow their own medicinal mushrooms at home (eg. lions mane, reishi, shitake, turkey tail etc).

Mickey and Amy have personally grown tonnes and tonnes of mushrooms and dedicated the last 7 years of their lives to becoming experts in this field. They have honed their craft, sought knowledge and training from overseas and toured facilities globally.

In this conversation we spoke not only about some of the ways in which you can get into growing your own amazing mushrooms, but the ways in which they are incredible for your health and how you can use them. We also touched on some of the industry difficulties faced recently around poisoning events and what that meant for mushroom growers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this chat and im sure you will too, please let me know what you thought and follow Little Acre below!

This weeks guest is somebody I have looked up to for a long time and someone who has taught me a lot through their work and content...

Tad Hussey from KIS Organics is a living soil specialist and has made a name for himself as an educator, podcaster and fundamentally as a grower. His podcast the "Cannabis Cultivation and Science Podcast" is absolutely a resource you should check out, as it relates to growing anything well, not just medicinal plants.

In this conversation we deep dived into living soil and some of the key questions around the topic. It is jam packed full of information so get out your notebooks and enjoy the episode!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by Paul and Anita Day from Vuegarden for a conversation that goes far beyond just gardening.

We chat about their garden journey, their inspiring off-grid home, and their work in bed and breakfast hosting, all of which reflect a lifestyle built around nature, simplicity, and connection. We also dive into Paul’s work teaching compost and compost tea workshops, and the influence of people like Dr Elaine Ingham in shaping the way he understands soil biology and the power of living systems in the garden.

This episode brings together practical ideas, personal story, and a shared passion for healthier soil, healthier food, and a more intentional way of life. If you’re interested in regenerative gardening, compost, compost teas, off-grid living, or just hearing from people doing life a little differently, there’s a lot to enjoy in this one.

This episode I am joined by Swedish biologist and macro-photographer Olle Amcoff, who is taking the world by storm with his incredible shots of the world unseen.

Exploring Swedish forests and landscapes, Olle has managed to capture some incredible plant and insect species that have to be seen to be believed. To see an insect at such detail and blown up to life size, we can see the complexity and unusual forms of these unique creatures, and Olle helps us to understand how these organisms operate in our ecosystems.

In this conversation we touch on Olle's process of capturing these shots, as well as how he got into the field through his love of biology and studies into different moss species. I have no doubt that you will be inspired by Olle's work and will be wanting to follow along on his journey.

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Scott Hall from Syntropia - a mastermind when it comes to understanding syntropic agroforestry and a leading educator in the field.

We spoke about exactly what is meant by a syntropic system and the way in which it differs to neighbouring concepts like permaculture and regenerative farming. Many of these terms have become popular again with a resurgence towards understanding and working with the land.

Scott is here to help us dissect it all and understand the best way in which we can practically manage land, in a way that maximises efficiency for both the people within the system, and the ecosystem itself.
