THE HAPPY PEAR PODCAST


We’re super excited to share this episode with you, where we chat with Nicole Masters, a soil health expert and agro-ecologist.

We’ve always been passionate about sustainability and living in harmony with nature, so talking to Nicole was a dream come true for us. She really knows her stuff when it comes to healthy soil, and we learned so much from her about how we can make a positive impact on the environment through regenerative agriculture and composting.

One of the things we loved about this episode was how Nicole made such a complex topic so accessible and interesting. We asked her all sorts of questions about soil health, from the benefits of cover crops to the importance of microbial diversity, and she had so many great insights to share.

We hope you enjoyed this episode as much as we did!

Lots of Love,

Dave & Steve
