    This week on We Dig Plants Alice and Carmen speak to a mail-order "plantsman" and a fauna seeking adventurer on the level of Indiana Jones: Tony Avent of Plant Delights. Tony recounts some plant seeking adventures including being at the business end of a shotgun and hurtling through canyons at breakneck speed. Tony also shares some important practical info, such as gardens DON'T need ANY inorganic anything ("let nature work for you!", and even the most untamed looking garden is the result of constant work. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of fine grass-fed beef from the California coast.
