Returning to the subject of saving seeds and promoting locally-adapted plants, Bob interviewed Bill McDorman. Bill is a "grow it yourself" kind of guy; he started his own Seed Company, Seeds Trust, where they promote "heirloom" seeds that will sprout true, generation to generation. Bob and his company, which is a true family business run by multiple generations of Bill's family, sell these seeds -- but they also encourage customers to save the seeds from the best-tasting, most-successful results from those seeds, and grow them again and again. To help people learn how to best do this, Bob is also starting a Seed School.

Today's subject: Wasps, and how to deal with them. Guest Mark Grambart is CEO of Contech, makers of an innovative new wasp trap to pick up your yellowjackets, et. al. -- without using any insecticides, using all natural ingredients, yet far more effective than wasp traps of the past. Of course, wasps are actually beneficial insects; they eat other insects and larvae, and they don't harm crops of interest to humans. As long as you can avoid getting stung, they are good to have around. Only when they make pests of themselves by invading or moving into occupied areas are they a problem, according to Bob and his guest Mark.
