The Plant Based Podcast S17 E04 - Meet the Editor of Amateur Gardening Magazine, Kim Stoddart

On the podcast in this episode is the editor of one of the most popular gardening magazines in the UK, Amateur Gardening. The magazine was founded in 1884, but sadly stopped production back in late 2023… but thankfully resurrected just a few months later, with a whole new look, making a whole nation of gardeners of all ages very happy.   Editor and author Kim Stoddart is with @ellenmarygardening and @mr_plantgeek to talk all about editorial deadlines and of course, gardening!   Afterwards Michael and Ellen chat random stuff from travels to plants and everything in between.    Sponsors of series 17 are Lava-Lite  - Naturally The Best

Effortlessly nourish and protect your plants with a collection of totally non-toxic, environmentally friendly, sustainable, pH neutral, lightweight and 100% natural products.

Derived from volcanic deposits, LAVA-LITE was formed by nature over 10,000 years ago.

The collection is made up of eight different horticultural growing/potting media and pest control products, with each continually offering the same natural benefits: thermal protection, moisture retention and control, soil conditioning and providing a nutrient boost; as well as being completely child, pet and environmentally safe.

LAVA-LITE is chemically inert, zero-harm and does not kill pests. It acts as a natural barrier and deterrent, providing an opportunity for them to simply move on.

All the products can be used anywhere in the home and garden without worry and any predators eating prey that have come in to contact with LAVA-LITE will not be harmed, keeping eco-systems balanced, maintained and sustainable.

The LAVA-LITE collection is available in handy 1 litre and 3 litre resealable pouches. They are easy to use, provide great results and don’t require careful handling, making them perfect for the novice gardener and specialist grower.
