Mastering gardening requires understanding nature and using technology to control what we can’t. It’s a delicate balance, but this edition has a couple of must-reads to help you on this quest.
The first is “Mastering Moisture in Living Soil” by Gareth Hopcroft. Have you ever heard of a tensiometer? I admit that I had never heard of one. However, Gareth’s article demonstrates how even the most basic tech can be of service in the garden. I now have a better understanding of how to water my plants.
The second is “VPD vs EC: The Tug of War That Changed the Way I Grow” by Everest Fernandez. This article can benefit gardeners of all experience levels, especially those trying to push their plants to their limits.
If these two articles aren’t enough, we are lucky to feature Colin Bell, PhD. Please get to know him a little better in the Author Spotlight and check out the article “The Evolution of Biotechnology in Agriculture,” which is a super interesting look at the history of biology in Ag. He spells out the key functions and impacts of the major microbial categories, including how microbes support crop steering.
This edition delivers great advice about using technology in the garden, from the gadgets you’ll need to achieve quality harvests to using boron in your grow and mastering living soil.
Happy Gardening,
