Secrets to thriving lilacs

About this episode

This week, the guys are talking all about lilacs. In Alaska, there is a short window when lilacs are in full bloom (about 6 weeks), so it’s important to care for them properly to keep them healthy year after year. Fun fact: Jeff’s grandfather hybridized a lilac!

After the break, Jeff shares the battery-powered tools he uses for gardening:

  • Small chainsaw
  • Blower
  • Weed eater

Jeff is disappointed with his modern weed eater because it’s difficult to maintain, while Jonathan is pleasantly surprised with his weed eater’s ease of use. One thing the guys agree on is that a good weed eater is essential for a healthy-looking lawn or meadow!

Finally, they discuss the practicality of newer electric composters and ask listeners to share their thoughts.

Discover all this and more in this week's episode of Teaming With Microbes!
