DIY Garden Amendments: Foliar Sprays, Fertilizers, & Soil Drenches | Nigel Palmer (Audio Interview)

My guest today is Nigel Palmer, author of The Regenerative Grower’s Guide to Garden Amendments.

In our conversation, which begins with his biography, he shares his inspiration from the work of John Kempf and Dan Kittredge, along with the JADAM Korean farming method, to create garden amendments at home from hyper-local sources: eggshells and bones from his kitchen, scraps, and remnants from the garden, and leaf mold from the forest floor. Using ferments, tinctures, and extracts, he creates the foliar sprays, fertilizers, and soil drenches to grow disease and pest-resistant plants, and nutrient-dense food, without the need for commercial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides. Rich with examples from his own garden, Nigel’s approach favors biology over technology to reduce the cost of gardening, improve his local soil, and the quality of his fruits and vegetables.

And that was Nigel Palmer. You can find more about Nigel, his book, and work with The Institute of Sustainable Nutrition at:
