Jeff is back from his tour of Iceland, Scotland, and England—just in time for snow in Alaska! Speaking of snow, the guys discuss how it isn't necessarily bad for gardens. Known as "poor man's fertilizer," snow acts as an insulator, adds nitrogen to the soil, and releases nutrients slowly as it melts. This slow release is more beneficial than rain due to reduced runoff.

After the break, the guys discuss some popular holiday plants, including the ever-famous poinsettia.

Finally, the team answers a listener question about protecting shrubs from heavy snowfall.

All this and more on this episode of "Teaming with Microbes."
