About this episode

The episode discusses pest control and seed decisions through a post-harvest perspective.

Discussion of two recent magazine articles that I wrote. One article looks at pest control through a post-harvest lens — basically treating the season to a post-mortem. The other looks at seed decisions, especially around saved seed versus certified seed.
