In this episode, Jeff and Jonathan discuss spring organic gardening. They share tips on what to look out for during your spring inspection, from signs of emerging life to possible remnants of winter damage.  Next, they dive deep into the art and science of composting, including the right way to turn your compost pile.  Additionally, they discuss the critical process of 'hardening off' - a technique to acclimatize your plants, gradually introducing them to the outdoor conditions to minimize stress and maximize their resilience.  Finally, they take a closer look at the fascinating world of plant chemistry, explaining how the surge of phytohormones in spring assists plant development, providing resistance to environmental stress and promoting healthy, robust growth. Have a question?
