LH 159: Using Science to Improve Flavor & Food Production

In this episode, host Theresa Loe brought back author Dr. Lee Reich to make us a better gardener…using science!

When we fully understand the reasons behind the gardening techniques, we are better equipped to handle any problems that come along. And in this discussion, you'll learn the real reasons behind why we need to do what we do.

You will learn:

How ethylene really works to ripen our tomatoes
Why some fruits should never be picked early
The 3 benefits of organic matter in our soil
The real truth about drainage in flowerpots
How to improve the flavor of certain fruits
The secret to keeping your seeds in long term storage
And SO much more...
