Episode 74

Founding Gardeners, Perched Water Table, Tropical-ish Gardens, and Layering

Happy Birthday, America! Did you know that the Founding Fathers were just as much into gardening as they were patriotism? Nathan talks about some of the memorable gardening information our Founders left to us. Then, he describes a tough situation for the garden known as a "perched water table" and how you can prevent it from happening in yours! If you want a tropical garden but have winters that destroy tropical plants, Nathan describes a garden design method and plants to create a "tropical-ish garden." Lastly, layering and air layering are great ways to produce new plants for free. Nathan gives you the details on this unique plant propagation technique.
