Episode 19 - Pretty Smart Compost Bin, Fungi Fun with the Crazy Botanist and Life Cycles

Smart Pots has an awesome and beautiful alternative to the traditional compost bin. I like to say that my compost bin is always dressed to receive more things to compost. She blends in with the landscape and has given me a reason to look at the leaves that will inevitably fall in a new way. No more hauling from the front to the back, only to haul it back to the front again next Spring. With maturity comes wisdom...now I just need three more Smartpot Compost Saks for the rest of my garden. To read bout the virtues of Smartpots Compost Sak, click here

The Crazy Botanist, Derek Haynes, and I discussed Fungi...because he is a Fun guy! If you want to laugh - as well as learn, follow him on Instagram. He is real and is still learning. As an African American Young Botanist, I give him space to be heard and to share in his own way. I can't wait to see him shine in his field of interest in Botany! You can follow Derek on Instagram. He is The Crazy Botanist!
