The Shed Organics Show

This week we have the lead citizen mycologist from the organisation 'We Forest Earth' Pierre here to share his stories and insights! This mans knowledge is incredible and I am super grateful to have had the chance to sit down with him. We spoke about how he is leading the charge in a new way of regnerating bushland. Not only one that takes out the woody weed species like camphor laurel that have taken over landscapes... but also providing a viable food or medicine crop from the resulting decomposing material. A monster episode for anyone into ways of working with land, understanding natural sequences and the future of community resilience long term.

In this episode, I’m joined by Liam Kleyn from Grolia, to talk about something that sounds simple in theory but can be surprisingly difficult in practice: growing mushrooms at home. We talk about why mushroom growing can be so frustrating for the average person, what Liam saw as the opportunity to make the process much simpler, and the thinking behind the new 'Flush' machine Grolia has developed to bring mushroom growing into the home. But there’s a lot more to it than just designing a machine. Liam takes me through the process of developing the idea, building prototypes, manufacturing it, and figuring out how to make something practical, functional and good enough to actually sit in someone’s kitchen. It’s a really interesting look at what happens when you take something that has traditionally been a little complicated and try to redesign the entire experience around making it accessible to everyday people.

What does it actually take to build a life around farming? In this episode, I sit down with Clara Roza from Crimson Crown Farm to talk about the reality of choosing agriculture as a way of life. We get into what drew Clara to farming, the challenges of building a farm from the ground up, learning to work with the land, producing real food, and creating a life that is connected to seasons, soil and community. Clara shares her experiences, lessons and perspective on small-scale farming, and what it took to make that farm dream a reality.

Today on the show I am joined by Will Brinkerhoff, a soil scientist and chef who is helping highlight the link between beautiful regeneratively grown produce, soil quality, and the taste of the food itself. I loved getting to find out what it is like to cook with produce that is grown in the best ways possible, focusing on soil health, vitality, and regenerating the land alongside it... as well as what Will has been studying in his PhD in soil science. A great conversation and I know you'll love it too!

What a pleasure to sit down with the amazing Chris Trump! Chris has spent years learning how farmers can work with biology rather than constantly relying on purchased inputs, and this conversation goes right into that bigger question: How much of what a plant needs can actually be provided by a functioning soil ecosystem? We talk indigenous microorganisms, soil biology, mineral nutrition, plant health and nutrient density, along with where biology fits alongside minerals and amendments. We also get into farmer independence, what Chris has learned from taking Natural Farming from theory into large-scale agriculture, and how we can start applying some of these principles in our own gardens and soils. A really interesting conversation about microbes, minerals, plants and ultimately learning how to work a little closer with nature!

What if the abundance growing in our backyards could help feed our communities? In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Redmond, founder of Lemonshare... an Australian platform helping neighbours find, share, swap and sell locally grown fruit, vegetables, herbs, plants and other garden produce. We explore the enormous amount of food quietly growing... and often going to waste... in Australian backyards, the limitations of a food system built for scale, and the potential of adding a more local and community-driven layer. We also discuss what it takes to turn an idea into a working platform, the challenges of connecting growers with their neighbours, and how Lemonshare could help reduce food waste, make fresh produce more accessible and rebuild stronger local relationships around food.

Sam Gibson—better known as Sam the Trap Man—has spent years working in the New Zealand bush, protecting native wildlife and helping people better understand the realities of conservation. In this conversation, we explore the practical world of trapping and predator control, the pressures facing Aotearoa’s native species, and the experiences that have shaped Sam’s connection with the living world. But this episode goes beyond conservation as simply fixing a problem. We discuss what it means to see ourselves as participants in nature rather than outsiders looking in, and why reconnecting with the natural world cannot only be about what we can take from it. What does the bush need from us? What responsibilities come with belonging to a living community? And how might our relationship with nature change if we learned to listen, contribute and give something back? A thoughtful conversation about wildlife, stewardship, reciprocity and finding our place within the wider community of life.

In this episode I’m joined by Joel Barnett — landscaper, garden builder, educator, host of The Landscaping Podcast, and the founder of InStyle Gardens and The Landscaping School. Joel has spent years designing and building outdoor spaces, including award-winning show gardens, and in this conversation we dig into what actually makes a garden feel alive. We talk about the world of show gardens... the pressure, the creativity, the construction, the plant choices, the storytelling, and the hidden work that goes into creating something people can walk past and instantly feel something from. But this isn’t just a conversation about fancy gardens. We also explore what everyday gardeners can learn from professional landscaping: how to think about structure, flow, materials, soil, plants, maintenance, and the feeling of a space over time.

In this episode, I sit down with Sheia from Lifeforce Farm to explore what it really takes to farm organically in today’s world. We speak honestly about the challenges facing farmers in the region... like rising pressures and limited support to the declining number of working farms and the difficulty of attracting young people into agriculture. Sheia shares her experiences growing organically, working with regenerative practices and trying to build a farming system that supports the soil, the surrounding ecosystem and the people who depend on it.

Today I sit down with Taranar Sloan-Harris. A man on a mission to help people find a more abundant way of living, through growing food, building resilience and regaining our lost knowledge. We spoke about how families are transitioning into food forest systems that they can build to sustain themselves and their communities, as well as the ways in which you can get started yourselves. If you are into your permaculture or food forest journey then I know youll get loads from this conversation!

In this episode, I sit down with John Kempf, one of the leading voices in regenerative agriculture, to explore one of the biggest mindset shifts in growing food: what if pest and disease pressure is not the problem itself, but a signal that the plant is missing something? We talk about how many common pest issues can often be improved... and sometimes completely turned around... through simple nutritional applications, better mineral balance, healthier soil biology, and a deeper understanding of what plants actually need to become resilient. Instead of seeing insects, disease, and crop problems as enemies to fight, this conversation looks at them as feedback from the system. John shares a powerful perspective on plant health, regenerative agriculture, soil function, nutrition, and why the future of farming may be less about constant intervention and more about growing plants strong enough that they do not need saving in the first place. This one is for gardeners, farmers, soil nerds, and anyone interested in the deeper intelligence of natural systems. Also, for anyone wondering why John’s video is not shown in this episode — John chooses to remain private and does not appear on camera, so his side of the conversation is audio-only - it only adds to the allure!

Charlie Arnott is an eighth-generation Australian farmer, educator, podcaster and one of the best-known voices in Australia’s regenerative agriculture space. In this episode, we get into Charlie’s journey from conventional, high-input farming into a more biodynamic, holistic and regenerative way of working with the land. But this chat isn’t just about farming. It’s about changing the way we see nature, food, soil, animals, family legacy and ourselves. We talk about what it actually takes to shift old systems, how farming can become less about control and more about relationship, and why healthy soil sits underneath so much of the bigger conversation around food, health and the future. A really grounded, honest and thought-provoking conversation with someone who has lived the transition, not just talked about it.

In this episode, I sit down with John Seed. A rainforest activist, deep ecology teacher, and one of Australia’s most important voices in helping people remember their place inside the living world. We explore deep ecology not just as an idea, but as a shift in identity. Not “humans over here and nature over there”, but humans as one expression of the Earth, woven into the same living web as forests, fungi, rivers, animals, soil and everything else. John shares from decades of rainforest activism, the birth of the Council of All Beings, and the deeper question sitting underneath so much of ecological work: how do we move from simply caring about nature, to actually feeling ourselves as part of it? A beautiful, deep, and grounding conversation for anyone who feels that gardening, soil, forests and ecology are really pointing us back to something much bigger.

In this episode I sit down with Brian Wehlburg, one of Australia’s leading Holistic Management educators and the director of Inside Outside Management. Brian has spent decades working with farmers, graziers, landholders and communities across Australia and New Zealand, helping people make better decisions for their land, their animals, their businesses and their families. He’s a certified Holistic Management educator with Holistic Management International, a certified Master Field Professional with the Savory Institute, and brings a deep lived experience from farming in both Zimbabwe and Australia. This conversation is about far more than grazing. We get into what it actually means to manage land holistically, how decision-making shapes the future of a farm, why soil health and people health are so connected, and how regenerative agriculture becomes much more powerful when it includes the human beings making the decisions. A beautiful conversation about land, life, responsibility, regeneration and learning to work with nature instead of against it.

In this episode I’m joined by Josh Gardens, also known as the Plant Techie, for a conversation about the crossover between plants, gardening and technology. Josh sits in that really interesting space where two worlds collide... the living, breathing, sometimes messy world of plants, and the fast-moving world of tech, tools, data and innovation. We talk about what technology can offer gardeners, where it can help us understand our plants better, and also where we need to be careful not to lose the simple human connection of actually observing, touching and spending time in the garden. This was a really fun chat and a great episode for anyone who loves plants, enjoys learning, and is curious about where gardening might be heading next.

In this episode, I’m joined by Elisabeth Kingman or Garden Girl, and the other half of the Muddy Boots Podcast. After having Keith Edwards on the show, it was great to sit down with Elisabeth and hear her perspective as a home gardener, podcast host, and someone who is constantly learning through conversations, mistakes, seasons, and time spent in the garden. We talk about her gardening story, what it’s like learning alongside someone like Keith, the common mistakes everyday gardeners make, the joy of home gardening, garden design, and the beauty of simply getting in and having a go. This is a really human conversation about gardening from the perspective of someone who loves it, lives it, and is still learning — which, really, is where most of us are.

On the show this week we have the awesome Silas Hedley-Lawrence or the [Grassfed_farmer]. Silas is a regenerative agri-coach who has recently finished the incredible CREATE course by Nicole Masters and is making headway in the agriculture sector in the UK. In the conversation we outline how Silas manages to feed cows grass all year round in a place like the UK and what challenges are needing to be faced in order to tackle some of the issues with UK cattle farming. These are some really important topics and fill me with optimism and hope for the way in which we can farm for our future!

Today I was joined by the mighty Nick Pratt who goes by the handle 'nicholasisbarefoot' sharing ways that people can regain control of their own resources and building resilience through close-knit communities. We speak about how broken systems are making us rely heavily upon them and when crisis strikes we bare the full force of the repercussions. Continuing to have the majority of our population relying on a few bottlenecks bound to break is a recipe for disaster. This conversation sheds light on what we can do to bring back a little more security for ourselves, our families and our communities. By growing our own food, harvesting natural resources like rain, carbon, sunlight etc, we can protect ourselves against collapse and reinforce what it means to be part of a symbiotic system within nature.

In this episode I sit down with Blair Beattie from Farmer’s Footprint Australia for a really grounded conversation around regeneration, farming, glyphosate, mindset, and the deeper human side of land stewardship. We touch on the movement behind Farmer’s Footprint and the role it plays in telling a more honest and hopeful story around Australian agriculture — not just focusing on farming practices, but the people behind them, their stories, their challenges, and the potential for real change. We also speak about the podcast, *The Invisible Ingredient*, and the conversations he’s been having around glyphosate — where it sits in our food system, our landscapes, our health, and the bigger questions we probably need to be asking as a society. One of the parts I really enjoyed was getting into the retreats Blair has been helping run for farmers. Not just from a “here’s how to farm better” angle, but more so looking at who we are as people, what we’re carrying, how we relate to ourselves, and how that then reflects out into the land, the farm, the family, the business, and the wider community. Because so much of regeneration can get spoken about through the lens of soil, plants, carbon, water and biodiversity (which is all important) but there’s also this deeper layer around the human being making the decisions. The mindset shift. The connection. The willingness to slow down, reflect, and actually look at what’s driving the way we manage land. This was a really thoughtful conversation and one that weaves between farming, food systems, glyphosate, personal growth, community, and the deeper essence of what it means to live and work in relationship with the land.
