That's Life -- Understanding our Water and Soils - 27 May 2025

Mon, 05/26/2025 - 6:30pm | Lois Richter

That's Life -- brought to you by our Water and Soil!

Soils and water and other things are fodder for this episode.  Lois is talking to guest Don Shor (of Davis Garden Show fame!) -- about so many things that we won't try to list them all here.

Understanding our water -- where it comes from , where it goes, how it's used, and by whom -- is vital to knowing what to expect in the future.  Understanding how our soils were formed and how the various soil typesinteract with that water is the basis for many of our gardening and farming decisions. 

That's a Blog ??!??

Lois' Blog is resuming !!!!   DJs, hosts, and programmers are being asked to post in their KDRT blog (and on other social media) every time we make a new show.    Since mine are recorded at home, I can tell you exactly what was/will be on the show this week.  So keep an eye out for announcements from me here again.

As of spring 2025, "That's Life" broadcasts at noon on Tuesdays and re-plays at 5:00 pm on Wenzdays.
