California Gardening Radio Program available on Podcast?
Comments (16)I listen to Bob Tanem In The Garden on Sunday mornings 7AM-10AM. You can find him on KSFO 560 AM, and there are archives/podcast available to download. He is a longtime Marin County nurseryman and lecturer, and has a wonderful infectious laugh and friendly manner. He offers advice that steers people away from using toxic chemicals in their garden, and instead explains how to use low toxicity soap/oil sprays, beneficial insects, etc to get rid of diseases and pests. I like the fact that he takes the approach of using less harmful methods first, then resorts to stronger chemicals when absolutely necessary, and talks about how to use them responsibly. Most of us gardeners want to minimize chemical usage, but when there are times when you need to get serious with a problem, it is nice to have a person well educated in both natural and the "unnatural" products steer you in the right direction....See Moredeveloping gardening program
Comments (1)Hi Chris, I've been starting indoor seedlings under my grow lights and dreaming of summer garden beds the last month or so. Thought I'd pop round the garden posts to see how things are. Did you get your gardening show off the ground? Seems there are not that many gardening shows anymore in my area...unlike years ago where Saturday mornings were PBS shows back to back like Victory Garden, Elliot Coleman and his partner, Mark Cullen. Nothing now that I can find. Are you still looking for ideas? My interests in gardening extend to what other people are doing in community/guerrila gardens. There may be many bad experiences but there are many great experiences too. I've just contacted a group in NYC area that have been successful with community gardens to offer them some of my extra garden seeds (too many in most packs for home gardens)...I've traded seeds, given away seeds and still wind up with too many. My latest interests (I'm awaiting the postal truck...) are square foot/intensive gardening - All New Square Foot Gardening: Grow More in Less Space!, - How To Grow More Vegetables 7th Ed companion planting - Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening container gardening What I'd love to see on a gardening show: gardening with children - getting them interested, what they can do a portion focusing on a vegetable and flower - how to grow them growing from seeds - tried and true methods like starting seeds in ziplock baggies, pop bottle greenhouses/self watering pop bottles, winter sowing (check with Trudi or get her a guest spot) seedlings - transferring to bigger pots - follow through right into placement into the garden Weed - one weed per segment I have lots of information I've gathered online if you need references or further information. Cheers, Peggy...See MoreHelp save great computer talk radio show
Comments (1)Ginny, very interesting. He's being replaced by the same Mutual Fund show that knocked a long running popular show off the air here in Rochester NY (and I'll bet lots of other cities) in that timeslot. Thats when I change the station to NPR on Sat. No doubt its an ABC affiliate thing, and has nothing to do with Bob O'Donnell or the content or popularity of his show. He was just in the timeslot to be eliminated. Don't think KSFO or WHAM had a choice. I'll bet the network is getting big bucks somehow to air the new show. Thats the way things work in this world now, unfortunately. Wish we could get your Coast to Coast programming times. Don't get it here til 1 AM. I've written the station about getting rid of Sean Hannity but it falls on deaf ears. Probably like yours will, but I'll send KSFO an email anyway.

Comments (13)The Harmony series is designed to be programmed by an end user but also has very limited functionality. Both Universal Remote and RTI are essentially "blank slate" type remotes that need to be programmed by someone who has the software and knows what they are doing. Harmony's also notoriously have a short lifespan. I have literally 2 dozen dead/Semi functioning/ and functioning Harmony remotes in a box that I've taken out of clients houses prior to setting them up with something that really works. I personally use the URC brand for clients who aren't going with something like a Crestron system. I have literally hundreds of them out there and they work perfectly and my clients love them. They allow me to set them up they way they should be with truly one touch functionality. No "answering questions" like "is the TV on?. Anything besides one or two sources connected directly to a TV and the Harmony becomes a clunky mess. The fact is, if you want something bulletproof, a remote programmed by a professional is the way to go. yes it'll cost little bit more. Any reputable firm will stand behind their programming. My company gives one free follow up after initial programming. The only time I charge for a follow up is if new equipment is being added/changed, then of course, I'm there any way....See Morelgmd_gaz
