A great cheat sheet and resource on how to fertilize without animal products
In today's episode we're learning how to grown our own food, veganically, aka organic fruits and veggies that don't need a single animal product for fertilizing, all thanks the wonderful work of Meg Kelly, gardener and farmer extraordinaire, helping people and animals through her incredible work.
Meg Kelly is an advocate for veganic gardening and farming. In 2008 she co-founded the Veganic Agriculture Network to promote organic food production that uses fully plant-based fertilizers, without any animal byproducts. She also teaches the Learn Veganic online gardening course to empower people to grow their own fruits and vegetables at home using sustainable vegan techniques. Meg is organizing the upcoming Veganic Summit, a free 3-day online event about veganic gardening and farming happening from November 8th-10th, 2024.
An avid gardener, Meg has been growing food veganically for 15 years in backyards, on balconies, and in the countryside.
In today’s episode she teaches us how she found her way to being vegan and to gardening, how so much of the food that is grown uses animal by-products that come from factory farms and how there is a homemade alternative that goes straight to the plant source. Plants feeding plants if you will.
She teaches us how to compost, whether you have a big back yard or just a balcony. She gives us so many practical tips, from what to grow as a beginner, to how to know what specific nutrients your plants are asking for, how to find store-bought plant-based fertilizers, how to grow food even in the smallest of balconies, how to save seeds and create your own heirlooms, how to know when to plant what and so much more.
Meg is a gem, such a kindhearted person, so full of inspiring excitement you’ll find yourself knee deep in dirt the minute you finish listening to this episode. But what I loved most of all, is that gardening itself can teach us so many skills and lessons that also apply to our every day lives and to our journey into going vegan.
