Videos by other gardening experts
Don't miss the series about Composting by Ed Bruske, president of DC Urban Gardeners and popular teacher of composting (and cooking and growing food and lots more). The clip about Kitchen Scraps is my favorite.
Mitch Baker, horticulturist at the American Plant Food Nursery in Maryland, shows How to Plant a Tree and How to Plant up a Container, both on this page (the tree series is shown first, then the container series).
Amy Stuart has a series about growing Herbs.
