This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Sam Hall — a young, passionate, and talented wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast. Sam is a great example of how you can make a meaningful impact on conservation efforts and inspire others, even from a young age. What I loved about this conversation was hearing how early involvement in conservation gave Sam a deep appreciation for the animal world. His father played a key role by taking him on adventures, sparking a love and respect for some of Australia’s less cuddly creatures — reptiles! Sam even keeps a few pet snakes at home!

| #48 - Can Hydroponics Save Our Food Crisis? | Bohdi Gardener [Fran's Hydroponics] | 26 Nov 2025 | 00:50:52 | |
In this episode I sit down with Bohdi from Fran’s Hydroponics here in Brisbane to dive into a world I’ve been genuinely curious about for a long time — hydroponics, and what it really means for the future of growing food. We chat about the big differences between soil-based gardening and hydro systems, from how the plants feed, to the role of nutrients, to what that means for the flavour and quality of the final harvest. I loved hearing Bodhi’s perspective on why hydroponics isn’t “better or worse”, just different, and how each approach has its place depending on what you’re trying to grow. We also dig into the idea of hydro as a potential solution for the challenges we’re facing in today’s food system. Could urban apartments, small homes, and high-rise buildings become mini farms? Can people produce genuinely healthy food for themselves even without soil and space? It was a really grounded and refreshing conversation that opens up a lot of possibilities. Bohdi walks me through the gear too — lighting, humidity, airflow, nutrient management, and how to set up an indoor grow space so plants actually thrive. If you’ve ever looked at hydroponics and thought, “It’s too complicated,” this episode will make it feel a lot more achievable. Really enjoyed this chat and I think you will too.

| #47 - Great Pastures To Great People | Nick Holliday [Belvedere Farm] | 19 Nov 2025 | 00:49:24 | |
In this episode, I sit down with Nick from Belvedere Farms here in Queensland — a family who’ve taken run-down, chemical heavy land and turned it into a living, breathing example of what real, regenerative food can be. Our conversation isn’t just about farming techniques; it’s about the slow, steady work of building soil, nurturing community, and letting the land teach you as much as you shape it. Nick shares openly about the journey he and his family have been on and the joy in seeing healthy soil come back to life. It's the bigger purpose behind growing food that genuinely nourishes people. We dive into what it means to grow with intention, to work with nature rather than pushing against it, and how these small, daily decisions can ripple out into something much larger than a single farm. This is one of those grounded, honest chats that leaves you thinking about where your food comes from and how much is possible when people commit to doing things the right way! Remember, if you enjoyed the conversation, be sure to show it to your friends, or even let me know what you liked in the comments below... thankyou!

This episode we are back on location at the Brisbane Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens to meet Karla Pound, a survivalist, bowhunter, adventure guide and all round amazing woman. We spoke about why saying YES can help build you a life that you love, full of adventure and new experiences. What it was like being alone in the wilderness for over a month, and how being open minded lead to becoming a guide for national geographic! “A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his reaction. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine if he is working or playing. To himself he always seems to be doing both. Enough for him that he does it well.”- L.P Jacks Follow Karla HERE: https://www.instagram.com/karla_inthewild/ https://www.instagram.com/collectivepursuit__ NEW Intermediate Organic Growers Guide: https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-intermediate-guide-to-growing-organic Full Q&A series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8JLrNZ6--BptTzH5xrU4cU1RWk4HMQQF Check out the CHILLI Side by Side series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8JLrNZ6--BqQJ9423StG_qo_VDANQwkD #1 Blend Fertiliser: https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/1-blend-complete-organic-fertiliser-mix FREE Beginners Organic Growers Guide: https://www.theshedorganics.com.au/product-page/ultimate-beginner-s-guide-to-growing-organic __________________________________________________________ Follow The Shed Organics HERE!

| #45 - The Art of Fermentation | Miles Filipeli [Fermented Plant Extracts] | 05 Nov 2025 | 00:50:44 | |
In this episode, I sit down with Miles Filipeli to take a clear and practical look at fermentation for soil health — focusing on Fermented Plant Extracts (FPEs) and how they can improve nutrient availability, plant resilience, and overall garden vitality. I'm a huge fan of Miles, and he has extensive experience teaching growers and home gardeners how to create their own biological inputs using local plant material, microbes, and time. His approach is rooted in observation, simplicity, and working with natural processes, rather than relying on synthetic or imported products. We discuss: • What defines a true fermented plant extract • Selecting plants with intention — and what local “weeds” can indicate about soil conditions • The microbial dynamics that make nutrients more plant-available • How ferments support disease resistance, mineral uptake, and flavour density • Key principles for brewing successful FPEs at home • Common mistakes and how to avoid them • When, where, and how to apply ferments effectively in the garden This conversation is centred around practical skill-building, improving soil function, and gaining confidence in creating your own fertility inputs on-site. Whether you’re growing a home garden or managing a larger-scale system, this episode offers grounded guidance on working with living biology to build healthier soil and healthier plants.

In this episode I’m joined by Jade Miles, co-founder of Black Barn Farm in north-east Victoria — a thriving u-pick orchard and learning space where she and her family live out the values of what she calls Futuresteading: living like tomorrow matters. We talk about the growing ache so many of us feel — that sense of disconnection from land, food, and community — and how small, intentional choices can help us find our way back. Jade shares stories from her life on the farm, what it means to live regeneratively, and why ritual, belonging and slowing down matter more than ever.
