EP 287: In the Weeds with Judd

In this episode of The Dirt on Flowers, hosts Lyndsay and Shannon welcome Shannon's husband Judd.Together, they tackle one of flower farming's biggest challenges: weed control. Judd shares practical strategies, including the "stale seedbed" technique, multiple tillage passes, and timely cultivation. The group discusses tools like the Planet Junior cultivator, biodegradable plastic mulch, and cover crops, while addressing notoriously difficult weeds like bindweed and nut sedge. They emphasize that healthy soil, realistic expectations, and proactive management are key, reminding listeners that effective weed control is an ongoing, evolving process rather than a one-time fix.Be in the know for DirtCon 2027If you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!
