Show Notes
On the GVDU website, I have created a month by month guide or what you can sow in your vegetable garden. On this episode we will talk through the crops that you can plant now, even though it's the dead of winter. The list is short, but don't fear, spring is only a few weeks away.

Listen to last week's podcast about why I recommend a fish emulsion for your garden. Then jump onto this podcast and let's discuss the arguments for using other sources of nitogen instead. As promised the figures I discuss are: Charlie Carp = $9.58/L, Blood & Bone = $2.33/kg or $0.71/L, cow manure = $0.16/L and coffee grinds = free.
Let's chat for a few minutes about why I encourage you to use a fish emulsion or fertiliser on your garden.
If you follow me on social media you will see that I talk about Seaweed Saturday every month. This podcast talks about what Seaweed Saturday is, why it's so important and all the fabulous ways a seaweed concentrate will get your vegetable patch thriving.

Magnesium is an essential nutrient for photosynthesis and also for our human bodies functions. So it's important to make sure our vegetables are getting enough to feed them and then us. I talk about why it's essential for humans and plants, how to recognise a deficiency and how to prevent or correct the problem. Lastly, I introduce you to Salt Sundays so you never have a magnesium deficiency again.
