Episode 26: Super Organic Vegan Gardening with Matthew Appleby

Matthew Appleby is a multi award-winning horticultural journalist who regularly writes for gardening magazines, national newspapers and the industry bible Horticulture Week. Matthew is a long-time vegan and organic gardener and has a wealth of growing experience upon which to base his new book, The Super Organic Gardener. The book is released on the 31st January 2019 and I spoke to Matthew about what it means to garden in this style.

We touched upon:

The definition of organic and vegan gardening

Why veganism is gaining so much traction

What is no-dig gardening

Vegan composts, green manures, fertilisers , seeds and plants
