This show teaches you how to garden without using chemicals and fertilizers, and it’s designed to give you tips to become a savvy home gardener. Paul Holowko’s father, who holds a Masters in Agriculture, taught him how to prune trees using loppers and a chain saw at the age of 10. At 13, he expanded into beekeeping. As Paul got older, he supported himself through college doing landscaping. Paul is an accomplished Electrical and Computer Engineer, with three master’s degrees and many patents. He brings aggressive innovation, attuned attention to detail, and creativity to gardening. Currently, Paul is experimenting with developing soil by planting different kinds of plants in it, building vertical gardens, developing methods for increasing food production; changing soil chemistry so you can grow any plant, and natural methods of pest control.
