In the first video of the season, Roper exuberantly explains “compost is gold.”

“The bacteria eat it, poop it, break it down, over and over,” he said. “It turns into beautiful juicy dirt, plant food your plants love you for.”

Whatever your preferred platform, Roper’s there to garden with you on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.

According to his website, Roper spent most of 2019 and 2020 working with producer Gus Van Go to create the forthcoming album Horizons. The album is billed as a modernized sound with a richer infusion of vintage rhythm and blues as background. Find episodes, merch and a taste of the latest album at whatsinmygardenman.com.
