Gardening Secrets They Don’t Teach You: Soil Health, Nature Balance & Companion Planting Talk

About Your House Radio and Put Tools in Schools by Ray Terry

Episode notes

In this insightful gardening discussion from the “Back to Your House” show, the conversation dives deep into the hidden world beneath our feet — soil health, microbes, insects, and how nature truly balances itself.

Instead of reaching for chemicals, the guests explore how ecosystems naturally regulate pests, why diversity in planting matters, and how “dirt vs soil” is more than just a phrase — it’s a mindset shift. They also break down companion planting, native plants, wildlife balance (including snakes), and even how trees and plants communicate in ways science is still uncovering.

You’ll also hear practical gardening advice for the Carolinas, including seasonal planting tips like squash, radishes, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes — plus how community gardens can bring people together in meaningful ways.
