Winter-time soil care, making cider, and taking advantage of free leaves

Host Glen Andresen and guest Jim Gilbert are back in the studio for another live show. With this summer weather in October, it's hard to think about taking care of your soil during the upcoming wetter and colder months, but the task still must be done. We discuss some of the options. And it's time to make apple cider, and Jim is here to offer his expertise. Plus, what to do with all those leaves. Finally, Jim has a report on his around-the-world plant exploration.

As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (pomegranate) and a new Garden Stumper (the winner gets a free sharpening of a hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland!). Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term  is "."  And, of course, what's annoying Glen this month (although this time with a twist!).

Don't forget, if you have a gardening question, and don't want to call in, you can always email us at thedirtbag@kboo.org -- we'll answer your question on the air during the next show. Furthermore, you can record a voice memo of your gardening question on your phone and email that to us. We will play it on the air next month and answer your question.

The Dirtbag... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
