Also: wherever you live, you can probably grow some kind of berries. Today, we revisit our chat with Master Gardener and expert raspberry and boysenberry grower, Pam Bone, who has lots of good tips for growing these tasty, healthy treats.
And to wrap up this episode, we tackle the question, what are those slugs doing in the compost bin?
