Thirty-two minutes of garden number-crunching, powered by NotebookLM's Deep Dive format. Episode 001 covers how the calculators actually work and why getting the maths right matters more than guessing. Why 35g per square metre is all a new lawn needs, why overseeding only needs 15–20g, and the exact three-rule method that works every time.
About Garden Maths
Garden Maths is the podcast from GardenCalc — the site with 21 free garden calculators used by over 33,700 UK gardeners a month. Each episode takes one gardening question and works through the actual numbers behind it.
No fluff. No vague advice. Just the maths that makes the difference between a lawn that works and one that doesn't. Episodes run around 30 minutes and come out every Sunday at 2pm.
Produced using NotebookLM's Deep Dive format, combining the data behind the GardenCalc calculators with a conversational walkthrough that's easy to follow on a dog walk or while you're potting on.
