AKG favourite episode survey results
Thank you to everyone who filled in my little survey about your favourite Alternative Kitchen Garden episodes.
There were 3 episodes in first place:
20 garden uses for a plastic bottle, Permaculture basics and Square Foot Gardening.
In second place were Composting in winter, Peppers, Ryton Organic Gardens and Compost.
No episodes received zero votes :)
The second question, on which topics you would like to see covered, was optional – but I received the following comments:
- more eco gardening please
- Cauliflower, head broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, companion planting, insects (beneficial and pests), beets, fruit trees, strawberries, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, vegan gardening (non-animal/fish fertilizer). I love your show! Thanks!
- permaculture, urban farming, greenhouses, raised beds
- organic fertilizers, more on birds in the garden like what to plant to attract them or how to grow seeds to feed them and the sort of pests they eat. I also like the single plant episodes particularly when they are about something unusual and book or garden reviews. The series on heritage vegetables was really interesting but I’m not sure which episodes that was so may not have ticked them, but other issues like that are interesting (If there are any, I was interested in the heritage vegetables because I hadn’t heard or thought about the issues before, so it is difficult to know if there are other similar issues I don’t know about, I hope that makes sense!) Sorry for the very long answer, hope some of it is useful.
- I’ve been very much enjoying the short episodes – more of your ‘garden updates’, please!
- More about thrifty gardening tips and growing in a small space. However, just carry on! I like every podcast (that was a lot of clicks!)
- More on starting vegetables from seed. More on growing fruit in the garden. Making the most of small spaces.
- Continued month-by-month task lists and discussion, plus more experiments. And more permaculture!
So many thanks to those of you who left comments, and I’ll be looking into covering these topics in future shows.
