Description

Spoiler alert: at the end of this episode are the secrets you've been waiting to hear for how to have the most envious vegetable garden. Bailey Van Tassel interviews Ann Malloy, one of the owners of Neptune's Harvest, an organic fertilizer company. It was founded by Ann's grandfather, who left school at 14 to help provide for his family. Their story is incredible and along the way we learn about how beautifully they've built a truly organic fertilizer company from fish by-products that fuel the most productive gardens through nutrient-building.
Ann invites us into her world by explaining how the fish fertilizer is made, how they run the business now, and how they've developed the products that work so magically, without compromising their organic and pure promise. Ann shares about giant pumpkins, combatting powdery mildew, roses, products that organically kill grubs and so much more.

Ann's favorite books: Illusions by Richard Bach and The Secret Life of Lobsters by Trevor Corson

The Garden Culture Podcast is more than just a how-to garden podcast, this is a place where we let the garden inspire our lives, as well as get to know incredible people who infuse their own lives with the magic of nature and gardening. Follow along as we talk about what to do in the garden each month and interview interesting people who weave gardening into their lives. Our host, Bailey Van Tassel, is a home gardener and the founder of a national gardening club. Her goal is to get more people gardening, especially in suburbia and small spaces, as she has. Bailey's mission is to make gardening an American pastime and a part of our innate culture. Her hope is to have more families raise their kids with a reverence for nature and an instinct for growing their own food and flowers.
