All The Dirt Gardening, Sustainability and Food

Author: Steve Wood and Deryn Thorpe Language: English Episodes: 100
There's a quiet satisfaction in getting your hands into the soil and growing something real. All The Dirt Gardening, Sustainability and Food is a conversation born from that feeling, hosted by Steve Wood and Deryn Thorpe. Each week, they dig into the practical side of cultivating a thriving garden, whether you have a sprawling backyard or a few pots on a balcony. The discussions go beyond just plant care, weaving in thoughtful perspectives on living sustainably and reducing our footprint on the land that feeds us. You'll hear from interesting guests who share their expertise, and perhaps most deliciously, the hosts regularly bridge the gap between garden and kitchen with simple, rewarding recipes that make the most of your homegrown harvest. This isn't about perfection, but about the genuine joy and connection found in growing your own food and tending a little piece of the earth. Tune into the podcast for honest talk, seasonal advice, and the inspiration to cultivate a more meaningful and flavorful life right outside your door.
