Episode Details

Welcome to today's episode on Friday 7 August 2026.

Tonight I'm answering some brilliant questions that I've been asked recently including: 

• what pests I've had this year (and how I've dealt with them)
• what data I'm collecting (how and why)
• which natural fertilisers I'm using (and the ones I want to try)
• why so many flower stems are short this year (and the science behind this)
• what my pivot means for what I'm doing on the field for the rest of this year
• green manures
• and - my favourite - do I have a toilet on the field?!?
