Episode 321: Weathering It All
Join me for a timely exploration of how weather shapes our landscapes, ecosystems, and personal experiences of the natural world. Writer and naturalist Matt Gaw discusses his latest book, In All Weathers. As we face an increasing onslaught of extreme and unpredictable weather patterns across the globe, Matt’s reflections on walking through the elements-be it storm, drought, or downpour-offer both a poetic and urgent perspective on our relationship with the forces that govern life on Earth. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on resilience, adaptation, and the beauty found in even the most inhospitable conditions.

Interesting perspective on the use of “non-native” plants
Dig hole, wee wee innit?
I was searching my name and surname in youtube and I found this XDDDDD
I love hearing from Kate Bradbury, her book The Bumblebee Flies Anyway is so enjoyable and interesting

I once had the opportunity of working in collaboration with Bartlett’s as part of a soil amendment and tree planting program. I planted hundreds of woody plants and I also experienced biochar sometimes having a detrimental effect on the plant. The product was supposedly already charged and wondered if the high pH of the product was the problem. I also used phosphites as a soil drench and witnessed some sickly plants have a positive impact on growth. I would love to work with the willow mulch more. Never heard about the chitin products until now. Exciting stuff. The research that Bartletts and Dr Gary Watson do for the industry are not widely shared enough. I think one of the biggest problems with woody plants originates from the plant nurseries that pot on their specimens too deeply. The biggest and most reputable tree nurseries in the uk are all guilty of this. I’ve seen £10,000+ trees that were buried around 16” above the flare. Nurseries should learn from the potting on of bonsai to adopt best practice on how to actually pot on. Linda Chalker Scott is with checking out.
twice ive had bees try to nest in my garden.... i saw the fluffy big ones in my compost, but they didnt maintain a nest there even though i really wanted them to... the other ones lived in a hole in the ground and were so peaceful and didnt hurt anyone, my neighbors poisoned them when i wasnt home, it wasnt even anywhere they should have been it was a private yard.... that was so devastating. they were enndangered wild bees... in a successful, peaceful hive in my personal garden.. how could anyone just murder them. im trying again to create a garden where bees will come. that just hurt so much. thanks for talking about bees!
Thank you for listening. I'm sorry you had that happen to the bees in your yard. Some people don't deserve to live alongside beautiful wildlife. Perhaps you should play this episode really loudly over the fence 😀
In north of India Vandana Shiva started to collect seeds from all kinds of naturally growing things...in the beginning she says I did not have a direct clue, but instictivally knew that it was important...and later on it became a way of survival....I am thinkng of here in this video when Simon is asked if it is difficult or costly to get those good old seeds...around 19 minutes into the video.
Excellent interview!
thank you love
have you thought of using twtr & substack ?
Thanks for highlighting Armenian flora :) i tried to listen to the episode on Spotify, but the episode under this title was about mushrooms
Great content. Just stumbled across your work today. Do you issue podcasts on google podcast
Thank you very much 🙂 Yes, the podcast should be on Google podcasts, listed as Roots and All.
Very interesting
Just subscribed as well!
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed this episode, Kenton & Paul were excellent guests :-)
Thanks so much for posting this conversation! Great resource!
I just found and ordered Nigel's book on Amazon. So glad to have found this interview and now, his YT channel!
Have you seen Jeff Lowenfels' books too? Not entirely related, but very interesting on the subject of healthy soils and plants. Thanks for commenting.
Mmmmmmm plant
Lovely interview. Thanks.
Great information.
Don’t really hear where the effectiveness of nor identification of specific mycorrhizae strains for specific plants was addressed. Neither the manufacturing constraints (temperature, etc) which I have read need to be in a very tight range... this was really just a “yes, the benefits are good” which I think most folks that would take the time to listen would already know. Disappointing

How wonderfully fascinating. I was dreaming of a wildflower backyard and went looking for information on how to create it. My soil is sandy and the dogs use the backyard. Grass is just too much in water use/cost so this seems like a beautiful alternative. We also have gophers so wondering how to create this without them destroying it with their tunneling.

Moths and butterflies are often dependent to one very particular native plant.
Cats account for huge amounts of the loss of wildlife. She doesn't have data. Cats are not scapegoats. The Uk needs to chang e the law so cat owners need to have a duty of care for their animals, as with dogs. It's sad that the interviewer didn't push back against this nonsense.
Do you have data, Anna? If so, let's see it. Cats are a drop in the ocean of the wider problem of wildlife genocide.
Disappointing that cat societies not taking responsibility for cat led genocide. Cats are the primary cause of wildlife anihilation and are a main source.
Wonderful. Fergus is such a star.

Thanks Brett! 👍
The following pieces of information are very related to the ancient scriptures and advanced technologies and will be able to prove the genetic experiments carried out along a very long time on humans as well as on many other living creatures by the fallen angels and their nephilim. In tunnels and underground bases many genetic experiments have been secretly done. The geoglyphs of the Black Desert are dated approximately 8,500 years old. They comprehend a huge area, mainly in Jordan, as well as in the neighboring countries. They are made with stones of basalt in order that they can last for a very long time and the wind and the sand of the desert neither cover nor erase them. They can only be seen from outer space through satellites and high altitudes. Archaeologists don't exactly know nowadays what they represent. According to a researcher these ruins really represent embryos of several species in different stages of development and will be able to shed light on the origin of the human being and our planet. When it will be officially confirmed by biologists, this discovery will constitute an important reason for disclosure and make a big shift in the current system and geopolitical order.

non scientific garbage, sorry Sara.
did anyone suggest it was science based?

Hi Adele! Thanks for commenting and I'm glad you've found a way to listen that works for you. I'm not sure how good TH-cam subtitles are when it comes to plant names and technical terms, so I hope you get the main gist of things!
I listened to this after I read The Garden Jungle Book. The two go together excellently. The book is superb, about much much more than gardening, and it was a real treat to hear Professor Dave talking about his philosophies on our gardens and beyond. Thank you both of you. Lynn in Hampshire
Thanks for your comment Lynn, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the episode. Dave is a brilliant writer and speaker and I admire his philosophy on gardens. He's one of my real heroes!
Hello, Roots and All. exceptionally vibrant video. thanks. :)
As to what to do if native plants in your region aren't considered particularly appealing, just add native plants to your favored gardening plants and that will still help wildlife. You don't have to do a 100% native landscape. You might also consider altering your idea of what is esthetically pleasing. Nature itself is beautiful without any human editing or composition.
The US had a surge in interest in native plants in the 1990s, with many regions of the country having very active native plant societies and native plant gardening authors getting lots of attention. A lot of the native plant gardening books published during that period are very good and still useful today. The area of I live in was blessed with two particularly good native landscaping authors, Sally and Andy Wasowski. Their way of thinking about native plant gardening could change your thinking about landscapes in whatever region you live in.
This is great information, thank you. Can you recommend one of their books that would be best for people outside the US?

Great interview! Really interesting.
Just another way to put the small trader or hobbyist who sells a few plants out of business, just like every other industry which has legislation placed in it, and so you will end up losing that knowledge just like farming, textiles, the majority have no knowledge on a lot of this, Things like this done in the name of health and safety, have destroyed just about every industry out there.
You may have gathered this a bit from the episode, butI have to say I agree with you. A lot of legislation strangles small businesses and leaves the way clear for big businesses to monopolise.
@@rootsandallpodcast The damage that is done is much bigger, not just the small trader or grower or hobbyist but think about all the knowledge, and 99.99% of this all came from private growers in the first place. Take farms as an example, the amount of farms that are just sitting idle because you cannot do this, or that, most people could not plant simple vegetables to survive. Big Corp all the way
Hi Sarah. Did you know there's a long silent gap at the end of the episode? It's the same on the actual podcast as well. Doesn't really matter, I just wanted to make sure you were aware.
Hi Ronnie. That's weird. Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into that 👍
Very interesting indeed Sarah and Alec. Though I've never been a lover of Peonies this podcast has helped me. Our friends have the most beautiful Tree Peony, that is just stunning! Many thanks indeed.
Brilliant! So pleased to hear that, Sue. I've always found them a little tricky but speaking to Alex has given me much more confidence with them.
