Susan’s on Epic gardening podcasts this week!
Well, I have some very cool news to share with you! As you know, I have a new book coming out in April, The Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook. I will be chatting with Kevin Espiritu of Epic Gardening fame on his daily podcasts all week long!
There will be seven podcasts in all, starting tomorrow and going through next Sunday, Feb. 7. You can find his podcast, Epic Gardening Podcast: Daily Growing Tips and Advice on the following platforms:
Spotify
iTunes
Libsyn
Epic Gardening Podcast page
What I really like about Kevin’s podcast is that each episode is short and sweet, usually about 10 minutes in length. So you can give a quick listen, absorb something new, and then carry on with your day!
If you’re not familiar with Kevin Espiritu, you’re in for a treat. He is the author of Field Guide to Urban Gardening and the brand-new book, Grow Bag Gardening, which will be out in March. Kevin has a HUGE following and deservedly so. He’s very down to earth, genuine, enthusiastic about gardening, and a great educator.
In addition to his website, Epic Gardening, you can find Kevin on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook… and probably more than that, but this will get you started!
Here are the topics we’ll be discussing:
- Why is organic pest control important?
- How to identify bugs in your garden
- Using cultural practices to reduce insect problems
- How to attract beneficial insects to your garden
- How to identify pest problems by their damage to vegetable plants
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and how it works
- Organic products for pest control
