Teaming With Microbes

This week, Jeff and Jonathan talk about all things lawns! But first, Jeff shares his thoughts on the benefits of going digital, including his weekly column at ADN.

Next, they dive into lawn care. Jeff advocates for getting creative with mowing, especially with different designs. For example, you can switch things up every mow with new patterns like diagonals, criss-crosses, waves, and even hearts! Jonathan reminds listeners that changing mowing patterns helps avoid creating ruts in the lawn. Also, it's a good idea to leave your mow clippings, as they're beneficial for the soil food web.

Finally, they answer a listener's question about managing chickweed.

All that and more on this week’s episode of Teaming with Microbes.
