Welcome to our weekly podcast with longtime Anchorage Daily News garden writer and author Jeff Lowenfels and co-host Jonathan White. It’s a companion to Jeff’s weekly ADN gardening columns and his popular series of books.
Jeff recounts his favorite gardening column of all time, where he wrote about the intricate relationship between cluster flies and the soil food web.
After the break, the guys debunk some common myths about planting bulbs in the fall. Additionally, they give some good planting tips.
[From 2019: Have you noticed flies swarming by your windows now that it’s getting cold? Here’s what’s going on.]
Finally, they answer a trio of listener questions, ranging from growing garlic to pet waste in compost.
