The Garden as Medicine
What if the best thing you could do for your health this week was go outside and dig in the dirt? In Issue 15, I share a full update from my parents' garden — the fruit trees, the flower border, two new blueberries, and an herb spiral I built entirely by accident — plus a deep dive into the science of why gardens heal us.
I Have No Idea If This Will Work
What does it look like when you try to put every principle of regenerative gardening into a single raised bed? This week the hugelkultur bed at my parents' place is finished, planted, and full of experiments — worm bins, winecap mushrooms, companion planting, and four tomato varieties all sharing the same few square feet of soil. I have no idea if it's going to work. But that's kind of the whole point.
