Understanding how frost affects your garden

In this episode, Jeff and Jonathan talk about frost and how it affects gardening. They explain the difference between "hard frost" and "soft frost" (or "light frost"), and how these different types of frost impact plants. They also compare dew and frost, pointing out that dew can actually be good for gardens and lawns at certain times of the year.

After a short break, the guys discuss the pros and cons of worms in the garden. Jeff mentions a specific type called the "jumping worm," which can cause problems for plants and trees by removing the layer of dead leaves and other organic matter on the ground.

To wrap up, they answer some questions from listeners about mycorrhizal fungi and the right mix for compost.
