EP: 423 Homesteading 101 Series (Back to the Basics): Gardening

Join me as I continue on in this Homesteading 101 Series (Back to the Basics). Today's episode is all about the basics of gardening. Which ultimately means understanding the basics of soil. You don't have to be a soil expert, or a biochemist to understand how to know if your soil is good (or how to amend it, if needed). However, if you don't pay attention to your soil quality, it doesn't matter how many other gardening skills you acquire, you'll continue to struggle if your soil quality is poor. I'm giving you all the basics you need in today's episode, plus many links for additional resources. For more information and any links mentioned in this episode, visit melissaknorris.com/423.
