Ep.170 Ridiculous TikTok trends: Bad gardening advice online - Vikram Baliga (Planthropology Podcast)

Why is there so much bad gardening advice online? And what are some of the worst pieces of advice you're likely to hear?

Join Dr Vikram Baliga and I as we uncover some of the comically bad gardening "hacks" that have ever been created. From the disgusting to the bizarre, we'll help you avoid following ridiculous advice by uncovering the science behind WHY these ideas won't work the way you'd hope.

Vikram is a horticulture lecturer in Texas, host of the Planthropology podcast, social media creator and author. His TikTok reaction videos for viral plant hack videos are hilarious, which is the reason I invited him onto the show for this topic.
