Basics of putting Plants in Dirt

In this episode, AmarA is unrestricted by the FCC rules she usually has to follow (because her radio station is having technical difficulties, this episode is podcast only) so, she swears a bunch. She also discusses some basics for transferring plants into new spots - be it containers or the ground.  She discusses mulching methods, potting on, and companion planting.  Keep Growing [http://www.AmarAjk.com]   |    BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/amaraartist.bsky.social]        Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/amarastarjk]
