Spring garden chores

About this episode

This week, Jeff and Jonathan are celebrating the longer spring days in Alaska. However, the warming sun has them thinking about the impacts of global warming.

They kick off this week's episode by discussing recent scientific studies, which warn that global warming could threaten the survival of dung beetles.

Next, they explore various natural indicators that signal when it's safe to plant outdoors (and indoors). In Alaska, the size of birch tree leaves serves as a reliable clue! Jeff also emphasizes that now is an ideal time to complete springtime tasks, such as cleaning up after your dog, shoveling snow around greenhouse entrances, and more.

Finally, they answer a listener's question on composting.
