Dan Masoliver, a London-based journalist, children’s book author, and gardener, writes The Earthworm, a gardening newsletter that reveals the people behind the plants.
Ha! I just subscribed yesterday and looking forward to reading more. I’m somewhat new to gardening despite living on a farm, and my approach is a little unorthodox. But, honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way… Glad The Earthworm is out there :-)
What a great reminder of how important is to not lose touch with nature. I think the fact that so many of us has is much of the reason for the state of the planet today.
Someone recommended this on the Shoutout thread yesterday! I love the scope of this Substack and am eager to see all he has to say on gardening. I’m a new pandemic gardener who started in spring 2020 and over time, some plants have come and gone but I’ve learned a lot. More than just the how to are lessons outside the plants themselves, what they show me about life and dealing with challenges. Subscribed for sure.
I am glad someone is covering this topic in detail. I couldn't agree more with him. In my experience, the 'why' is more important than the 'how' because the 'why' is the greater hurdle. My most recent newsletter is on this very topic of 'why' garden: https://markanthonyhoffman.substack.com/p/why-i-like-to-garden?sd=pf
First, my apology for this question - it's a downer - yet I'm curious...
Here in the U.S. there has been a long-standing practice of spreading sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants on agricultural fields. Good PR work has managed to change the term sewage sludge to the more acceptable biosolids. However, after many years of application, testing of the soil and groundwater has revealed contamination from toxic chemicals including the family known as PFAS. Does this problem exist across the pond?
