  • Mycorrhizae Explained: Soil Fungi, Mushroom Myths, Composting & Garden Biology Basics

    Mycorrhizae Explained: Soil Fungi, Mushroom Myths, Composting & Garden Biology Basics
    2026/04/21
    This throwback episode of The Dirt on Gardening Podcast (Season 1, Episode 32) brings us together—Andre the Farmer, Urban Gardening with Gray, and The Chocolate Botanist—for a fun, wide-ranging conversation that blends real-life gardening with deep dives into soil fungi, mycorrhizae, and garden biology.
    We kick things off with weekend updates—building new metal raised beds, discovering surprise pineapples, and even saving eggshells in Talenti containers—before diving into the fascinating science of mycorrhizal fungi. We break down what mycorrhizae are, how they help plant roots access water and nutrients, and why adding inoculants can be inconsistent outdoors but more effective in controlled or indoor growing environments.
    From there, we explore the wild side of fungi, including cordyceps (“zombie ant” fungi), mushroom foraging myths, and massive underground fungal networks. We also tackle practical gardening questions like whether mushrooms in your soil are good or bad, and how to think about building healthy, living soil systems.
    This episode is packed with practical tips, including:
    • Filling multiple raised beds on a budget
    • Composting large mulch piles (including palm-based materials)
    • Using mushroom compost effectively
    • Air layering successes and failures (and why peaches can be tricky)
    • Growing pineapples from seed vs. pups
    • Choosing asparagus varieties for Zone 8B
    • Sourcing and using mushroom spawn

    We wrap things up by inviting you to help shape the future of the show—send us your questions, ideas, and topics for our season finale and beyond.

    Whether you're into soil health, fungi, composting, or beginner gardening, this episode mixes science, humor, and hands-on experience to help you grow smarter.

  • Foodscaping, Greenhouses, and the Truth About Asparagus: With Coastal Homestead’s Chai Ming

    Foodscaping, Greenhouses, and the Truth About Asparagus: With Coastal Homestead’s Chai Ming
    2026/04/14

    In this lively episode, we kick things off welcoming our special guest, Chai Ming of Coastal Homestead. We trade weekend garden wins and woes—from satsuma scores and mystery Temu avocado reveals to white sapote experiments and recovering orchards—then dive into foodscaping: how to swap ornamentals for edibles, design small-space gardens, and choose durable, drought-tolerant plants for tricky strips like the curbside hellstrip. Chai Ming breaks down edible ground covers (creeping thymes, perennial peanut, sweet potato), comfrey for chop-and-drop, and why thoughtful design (and a square base!) matters when building greenhouses. We also unpack asparagus realities (it’s a long game), the safest ways to think about compost sources, and the nuanced, local-first approach to garden advice. Chai gives a behind-the-scenes look at designing and building The Home Depot’s “From Scratch” Maine project with Epic Gardening—where the team truly did the work: grading, beds, pergola, paths, and greenhouse in ten packed days. We tackle hot listener questions on pet urine/manure in gardens (where safety and proper processing matter), balancing AI garden guidance with trusted extension resources, and the power of community knowledge. We wrap with laughs, lessons, plus a teaser for Andre’s unforgettable “fly story.”

    Resources mentioned: The Home Depot’s From Scratch (YouTube), university/Cooperative Extension resources for local guidance, KNF (Korean Natural Farming) for safe inputs, and reputable compost suppliers over mixed city green-bin compost for edible beds.

  • Feed Me, Seymour: Plants in Pop Culture From Audrey II to Groot

    Feed Me, Seymour: Plants in Pop Culture From Audrey II to Groot
    2026/04/07

    In this episode of The Dirt on Garden Podcast, we dive into plants in pop culture—from Little Shop of Horrors’ iconic Audrey II and Wizard of Oz’s soporific pop

    We swap personal gardening updates (false spring chills in Dallas, seed-starting in the Carolinas), recent plant finds and losses, and listener call-outs from YouTube and Instagram, weaving in references to anime roses, Dr. Seuss’s Truffula trees in The Lorax, Popeye’s spinach myth, and sentient trees from Lord of the Rings and Ender’s Game. We also field a quick fig question for cold climates, share first-plant origin stories, and celebrate how thoughtful greenery and biophilic design elevate stories on screen and in our own spaces. We invite you to keep the conversation going by dropping your favorite plant moments from movies, TV, books, anime, music, and games—and the must-watch films Andre somehow still hasn’t seen!
