Gardening Where You Are | Container Methods vs. Established Ground Beds
If your garden looks like a mess right now, you might actually be doing it right.
Welcome back to Womenfolk Revival.
This week, Maggie and Meara are getting real about what spring planting actually looks like in Zone 6b. It isn't always pretty rows and perfect soil. Sometimes, it’s a property management company spraying chemicals on your lawn and forcing a total pivot.
Welcome back to Womenfolk Revival.
This week, Maggie and Meara are getting real about what spring planting actually looks like in Zone 6b. It isn't always pretty rows and perfect soil. Sometimes, it’s a property management company spraying chemicals on your lawn and forcing a total pivot.
Meara talks about her "Renter’s Pivot", moving the tomatoes and strawberries into buckets and hanging baskets to keep the family’s food safe from the spray.
Maggie dives into the "walking encyclopedia" side of things, explaining why we need to stop fighting the dandelions and start letting the native weeds do the heavy lifting for our soil.
We’re also talking about the "Medicine Bin" Meara is starting for her migraines with Tulsi and Feverfew, and how Maggie’s established homestead beds work in total symbiosis.
Whether you are drilling holes in five-gallon buckets or tending a meadow, it’s all about being the gatekeeper of your home and working with nature instead of fighting it.
