The Sodcast – The Merchandise

Listen to Irelands first and only garden podcast The Sodcast in iTunes.

Visit The Sodcast Shop

Last week, after giving some garden advice on a previous Sodcast a coffee mug came in the post with some badges, all logo’d up. A note of thanks was attached. It was from John Keyes. Of course I put up a post on the blog to say to say thanks to John.

What happened then was two comments came in on the blog along with a minor plethora of emails, texts and calls wondering if I had anymore Sodcast coffee mugs. Of course I didn’t. Under mild duress, I rang John and asked him his thoughts.

I’ve never sold merchandise before. It wasn’t the intention when I started this garden podcast. I don’t personally think I’m gonna make a gizillion dollars on Sodcast coffee mug sales commission. That said, I’d like to think it’s more than just me that drinks from my sodcast mug when I record the podcast…. or in your case, while you’re listening to the podcast ;)

Anyhow…. for now I’ve only put up the products you see here. Why these products ? Well, I thought the clock looked nice, I’d like a matching mug and I think that the t-shirt is cool. They’re simply what I’ll buy myself for myself, for now. Visit The Sodcast Shop

I know the shop is UK based, but I don’t know any Irish company that provides a similar service. [?] That said The Podcast, the costs and equipment are all paid for out of my own pocket – for which I am as always more than happy to do – I guess the answer is if you’d like a Sodcast coffee mug – you can buy one should you wish to do so. Personally, I’d like to keep a list of all those who own a mug, sounds a bit silly maybe… but sure there ye go ;)

Fellow hen fanatic Simon Kenny send me this email

Hi Peter

I don’t have a photo of bark mulch on the plastic but do have decorative pebbles on plastic in my own garden. It’s basically the same principle. The soil is blocked from sunlight and weeds push up the plastic around the edges. Attached is a photo which I took this morning.it would be great to hear what your views are on the use of the plastic stuff, and how you would go about flower bed fabrication

...

Also these little trinkets ;)

I asked if anyone had a happy Garden story for me….? You replied… and I had to tell you all to stop!
  • @rauldore: Yes – my garden is happy : I haven’t had a BBq in ages :D
  • @jkeyes: Iggle Piggle, Upsey Daisy and Makka Pakka.
  • @maryrose: I planted crocus today… at least they will bring a smile to my face come January
  • @orlamcdermott: 10 gizillion pretty red crab apples from a small tree made into 25 jars of jam :)
  • @maryrose: oh I couldn’t … sure I’d have to get my hair done..!!!
  • @powersflowers: Funny Hissingfirst story for you from @ArabellaSock : http://bit.ly/gmmSrh It’ll make you laugh. I promise.
  • @knetstop our strawberry is still blooming and having fruit. Does that count?
  • @primaryposition: one easter sunday i awoke early to find little paw prints leading out our garden and down the street path. Convinced it was the Easter Bunny, I took off after them like an excited blood hound. about 5 houses down the road i found a poor little tortoise trapped in a hole in a neighbours garden. He was alive and we kept him for a week before giving him to a zoo :)
  • @EWgardens: 10 years next year since we began to revive 400+ year old gardens abandoned for 50 years. My other halfs grandfather died having pulled house down and not knowing he had an heir. He would be delighted to meet his great grandchildren and visitors in his revived garden. How’s that?
  • @dervlam: Funny looking mushrooms growing on my back garden lawn!
  • @ianbrunswick: Worked @ Chicago botanic gardens & stopped a snapper turtle getting run over. He tried to bite my hand off. Some thanks!

And Finally:

I found the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra via Christian Carey and the gentleman [and lover of the great outdoors] that is Mr Jonathan Grimes
