Garden microclimates have the potential to dramatically boost harvests – if you know how to use them.

Warm walls, suntrap corners, shady areas, raised beds and crop covers can all lead to improved conditions – and higher yields – for different types of fruits and vegetables

In this short video, we demonstrate how using your garden’s microclimates to their best advantage can result in bigger, better harvests; year in, year out.

On this month’s installment of the testing garden assumptions series I am going to evaluate the two main claims made about compost teas.

Today’s first hypothesis is that AACT increases the number of bacteria through the brewing process however is not necessarily an organic fertilizer.
