These interviews with all these high caliber people are a tresure trove. You gotta promote this channel more on the Epic channels so your subscribers get this info
Agree!

Very knowledgeable man in his field. Thank you for having him.
Thank you for having this man on I’m subbed to his personal channel too. Man has more years of horticultural knowledge than I’ve been alive #28
To Kevin and the Epic Gardening podcast team:
This was hands down the best week of shows I have listened to in months on your podcast! And the reason is simple: Your guest Tom related everything he talked about to the average home gardener who has an average-sized property in an average neighborhood.
So many of your podcast lately have been the exact opposite (the wacky “permaculture” one comes to mind). Of one week you have someone talking about letting your garden look like a forest and allowing all the dropper fall leaves to stay. The next week you get just the opposite where the person says you must rack those all of because of diseases and all. Still another will talk endlessly about the dozens often things you must do to compare pest and fungus and this and that….
All to the point I shut it off!
Sometimes I think you all forgot the number one thing: Gardening for the home should be fun! A hobby for relaxation and enjoyment. Not something you need to constantly stress over (that is what your weekday job is for!). You need to get back to understanding what your audience is within your podcast (as you mostly do on your CZcams channels). Ditch the overly wrought, confusing and often counter dictating subjects and give us more of Tom! Please!!!
Me living in sweden, hearing all this about getting enough chill hours.. only thing we talk about is getting enough sun hours.
Love this new format. You rock.
Tom did an interview where he basically disproves everything he just said about zone compatibility. In the other interview he points out how friends of his and people he has met plant trees not intended for the zone acclimate and adapt at a young age and actually thrive where they're not supposed to. I think sometimes you just need to stick the tree in the ground let it decide if it wants to thrive.
Very informative.
Awesome, posting! So much info! Thank you! 🌵🪴🌿
great guest, love the two camera setup
Can we peep that spreadsheet kev? 👀
This was amazing information, thank you.
Great show. Thank you.
So interesting and great information for me despite being in a completely different climate zone here in Germany. Today, I have three cherries and two plums to plant but I'm still unsure when to do the first pruning. I have selected varieties on bush root stock but on two of the cherries it still says final height 18-21 feet. Currently, they are 3-4 feet tall incl. root stock and have 3-4 nicely spaced branches that the nursery cut back before shipping. Do I now let them grow for a full year or do I need to prune this summer? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm planting them less than 3 feet apart.
I think I’d stick with the haas and fuerte and then graft scions of other varieties to them later on. That would be good content
Great information. New to the fruit tree game... I want to try a (3) peach tree grouping here in a small Cleveland, OH lot ... any suggestions; taking into account rootstock compatibility and successive ripening? Thanks.
Great interview. I learned so much. I would love to know if I want to plant a few different stone fruits in one hole, do I need to plant only the same type or can I plant say a plum, a peach, a cherry in the one hole. Or is it better to have all plums in one hole? TIA
Too much conversation and too little content
