236: The Sodshow meets Neil Crossan, Living Green Organic Compost

On this weeks garden podcast Peter Donegan and Brian Greene chat with Neil Crosson of Living Green. The largest grower of worms (17 million in total) on the island of Ireland, more importantly Neil is the maker of Irelands first organic compost (made with 80% worm casts and 20% peat). Together Peter and Neil chat everything from why (seriously why ?) start this as a business, to what happens when your sister thinks she’s doing you a favour and turns all of the lights off in the sheds – to the moments you cried and the moment when after almost 15 years perfecting this product you realised you had turned a corner. Far more than just the story of compost making, this episode of the garden podcast is not to be missed. The Sodshow garden podcast airs every live Friday at 3pm and can be found in iTunes and all good podcast stores from 4pm. This weeks show with thanks to the lovely folks at GIY International for helping us put this one together.
