From the urban homesteader to the person with 100 acres in the sticks most of us value wildlife for many reasons. They are of course a source of protein either as “game” or during an emergency by what ever works yet they do a lot more to improve the quality of our homesteads.
When most folks think about “attracting wildlife” they begin with song birds, squirrels and rabbits and if in the right location then move up to things like deer, turkey and perhaps water fowl. Today we are going to start at a much lower trophic level.
Join me today as we discuss…
- Why we want “wild things” around us and the need to observe
- In a way all animals are herbivores and solar collectors (really its true)
- Most life is dependent upon soil with very few exceptions
- Soil is dependent upon “soil wildlife” to be sustained
- You never feed plants you feed the soil
- Imagine 1,000,000 or more unpaid employees - think worms
- Water features improve every aspect of any and all property
- Bats are your friends, give them a home - and protect them
- Almost no “pest insects” are attracted by flowering herbs
- Many small herb gardens have a greater effect than one big one
- There is room for at least a patch of “wilderness” on all property
- Frogs and toads are the princes of your garden, give them a palace
- Lizards, geckos and even snakes are good to have around
- Squirrels need food, shelter, cover and water
- Want rabbits? Protect them from dogs and cats and plant clover
- Bird feeders work great, bird habitat works better
- The magic of the “bird perch”

Today’s show is a 2 hour rebroadcast of a recent appearance I did on Truth Brigade with Christie Czajkowski from about a week ago. On this show Christie interviews me about individual sovereignty, personal freedom, the power of truth and the role preparedness plays in being a patriot.
The audio includes the show in full including all their commercials which is required for rebroadcasting. Those of you who occasionally call TSP too commercial are about to get a reality check with what real commerical programming is like. That said it is a podcast so you can always….
In any event I will be back on Monday morning until then keep on living that better life.
