#160: Crown Maintenance
Carping, hilling, scratching, ripping, root pruning. Let’s get dirty!
#154: James’ Hymn to Light
Light! What is it good for? Absolutely…uh….everything?
#149: Drought and Heat Stress
If you can make it through 8.5 minutes of IBS and My Little Pony, we spend the rest of this episode diving into drought concerns and yield impacts. It’s not just the volume of irrigation, it’s the when and the how.
#137: Leave Me Alone!
Sorry, I had to. All about leaf biology.
#133: Soil
Don’t call it dirt. Dirt is dead. Soil is alive (insert Vincent Price laugh)! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!!!!
#127: Breeding Part 1

The History of Fertilizer. Why it works, how it works, potassium, potash and coprolite. Sounds like a bunch of crap if you ask me.
