Ep. 20: Overrated, Illegal & Banned (Happy Earth Day!)
Descripción
In this episode, Mason and Bill dive into their 20th milestone discussing the significance of Earth Day and proactive engagement in sustainability, overrated horticultural trends like window boxes and the practicality (or lack thereof) of some garden tools and landscape lighting, as well as garden products and plants that should be banned (metal fire pits). Then they call out industry items that should never evolve—like shovels and wheelbarrows—before discussing industry activities that feel illegal but aren’t. They close with thoughts on what instantly dates a garden, from props to outdated décor. Movies discussed include Dolphin Tale and Anchorman. Weapons discussed include mattocks, axes, hatchets, pruners and folding saws.
