“Don’t freak out if you have a little clover in your lawn,” says Annie Spiegelman, the author of “Talking Dirt.”

Annie shares her master gardening wisdom with us promoting brown and the new green in summer lawns of California. She outlines why those beautiful green lawns are not only lots to care for, but create havoc with our productive pests and take a tremendous amount of water. This does not make good planet sense in places like droughty California.

In classic Dirt Diva style, she says “we all need to get off the sauce,” meaning stop chemicals and start using organic compost.  Her book and this podcast are full of tips to be safe and have a beautiful lawn.
