A specialist in biological pest control, Ron Whitehurst advises farmers and gardeners on growing food and herbs in harmony with nature. After earning a BA in Biology at Indiana University, he moved to California and got a PCA license. Over the years he has attended and presented at numerous organic farming and pest control conferences. An avid gardener, he loves making compost, building soil, and creating bio-intensive food producing landscapes.
His lively discussions about insect lifecycles and predator-prey relationships make the principles of biocontrol easy to understand for both lay and technical audiences. He, engages participants in lectures and workshops about biological control of insect pests in field, garden, greenhouse, landscape, and animal rearing situations.
Ron is a California licensed Pest Control Advisor and with his wife, Jan Dietrick, are co-owners of Rincon-Vitova Insectaries, Inc. that produces and markets supplies for biological pest control. He has been communicating about organic methods of farming and gardening for over 30 years. Since 1997 he has promoted Rincon-Vitova’s mission by consulting in the field and lab, by phone and email.
He guides people through the steps of creating and biologically managing ecosystems to minimize and control pests, using insect habitat, cultural methods, beneficial insects, and soft pesticides when needed. He is a project leader for the Dietrick Institute for Applied Insect Ecology, co-located with Rincon-Vitova, where he has participated in cutting edge urban pest management demonstrations. In 2016 Rincon-Vitova Insectaries won the Regenerative Business Prize.

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Dynomyco Premium Mycorrhizal Inoculant. Mycorrhizal inoculant is a type of soil amendment that contains beneficial fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots.
Adding mycorrhizal inoculant to your garden soil can offer several benefits for plant growth and health. Here are some of the main advantages:
Improved nutrient uptake: Mycorrhizal fungi help plants absorb nutrients from the soil more efficiently, including essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This can result in healthier plants that produce higher yields. `
Increased resistance to stress: Mycorrhizal fungi can help plants withstand environmental stressors such as drought, heat, and cold. This is because the fungi provide a protective layer around the roots, improving their ability to absorb water and nutrients. `
Enhanced root growth: Mycorrhizal fungi can help stimulate root growth and development, leading to stronger and more extensive root systems. This can improve plant stability and overall health. `
Reduced need for fertilizers and pesticides: By improving nutrient uptake and plant resistance, mycorrhizal inoculant can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides in your garden. This can be beneficial for both the environment and your wallet. `
Improved soil health: Mycorrhizal fungi can help build healthy soil by improving its structure and increasing its ability to retain water and nutrients. This can create a more hospitable environment for plants to grow and thrive.
Overall, using mycorrhizal inoculant in your garden can lead to healthier, more productive plants and a more sustainable growing system. I have made it part of my core fertility program for a long time now. Unfortunately the product I originally found is no longer available. It was Endo Mycorrhizae Fungal Inoculation.
I spent the last two years looking for a replacement and honestly while you’d think this would be easy many mycorrhizal products are simply crap. I trialed quite a few options and the one with the greatest effect on aggressive rooting in started plants was Dynomyco Premium Mycorrhizal Inoculant.
There is something I want to point out. If you are starting things like tomato, pepper, egg plants, etc. for garden set outs, you do not need to use the recommended amount you can use a lot less.
For instance the 12 oz package says it will treat 68 plants and for 38 bucks that may seem expensive. However products like this are heavily marketed to the cannabis market. This is a very high dollar crop and most grown with a product like this are intensive grow operations.
Translation, they want maximum production and a dollar plant extra isn’t even a consideration during propagation.
In reality though mycorrhizal fungi are living things and they propagate once inoculated in soil. My results this year with treated vs. untreated root systems have been outstanding. I use about 1/4 tsp per plant and I am mostly using solo cups as starting pots as this time. This is about 1/4th of the recommended amount. It should make about 280 plants based on my application rate. That is pretty much my entire garden this year.
A few things about how to use this stuff. It really needs to contact roots to take off, if you sprinkle it on the surface you may as well just throw it away. The way I use it is one of two ways.
When making starts I put a quarter tsp in the pot with about a half inch of room left for more soil. Add my seeds and then cover with some more soil, again about 1/2″. This means that the seed will germinate in direct contact with the fungi. This stuff just doesn’t move much in the soil and it requires plant roots to grow. `
When setting out plants or seeds that were not started indoors or in a green house, I dig a hole, remove some some of the soil if it is a transplant and sprinkle about 1/4 tsp right on the root ball before I cover it. If direct seed I drill a hole for the seed, and put a pinch in the hole and cover over.
One other thing I have been adding to starts this year to also encourage more beneficial soil organisms I have been adding a tsp of Happy Frog Cavern Culture Organic Plant Fertilizer to the indoor starts as well. That product will be reviewed soon but it has a huge variety of additional mycorrhizal fungi species. Further this year I am doing about 10% by volume of biochar in my seed start mix.
I have never had plants with such aggressive roots as such a small size. I am talking I have peppers with only two sets of true leaves that have already fully filled out a 12oz solo cup with their roots. A review of the Happy Frog product will come soon.
Lastly the form that Dynomyco Premium Mycorrhizal Inoculant comes in is really great for shelf life and effectiveness. It is in small encapsulated beads. This protects the spores from light, which is their literal moral enemy. All in I am extremely happy with the product and it is now my number one recommendation for a mycorrhizal inoculant. So give this a shot this year and you may just have the best year ever.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Survival Podcast, today’s episode is, “Azolla & Biochar: Nature’s Perfect Combination.” In this episode, we will explore the incredible synergy between Azolla and Biochar and how they can potentially revolutionize the world of agriculture.
Azolla is a tiny aquatic plant that has been around for millions of years and is known for its ability to fix nitrogen from the air. Biochar, on the other hand, is a type of charcoal that is produced from biomass and has been used for centuries as a soil amendment. Together, they create a powerful combination that can boost soil health, improve crop yields, and even sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
We will dive into the science behind the Azolla-Biochar combination and explore the benefits it can offer to farmers, communities, and the environment as a whole. I will discuss my experiences with using Azolla and Biochar on my own homestead and explore some ideas for various sized operations from homestead to mid sized commercial utilizing this natural combination.
Join Me Today to Discuss…
The real beauty here is decentralization and an anyone can do this reality
Biochar is easily made on even significant scale in a back yard
Azolla can be grown just about anywhere when it isn’t freezing
Uses for Biochar
Soil amendment
Feed additive
Coop litter
Worm bins
Seed/food storage
Heat and energy production
Uses for Azolla
Animal feed (best mixed with other feed)
Plant fertilizer (only lacks phosphorus)
Self composts and accelerates composting
Fish feed (especially tilapia)
Worm bins
Growing Azolla
Only needs a few inches of water
Animal waste is the only nutrient source you need
It doesn’t like to be too hot, doesn’t want full summer sun (30-40% shade is good)
Once you have a mat across the surface you want to harvest daily or every other day

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Urban Worm Bag Composting Bin. Many of you know I have been looking for a way to do worm composting on my property that would not be invaded almost instantly and colonized by fire ants. I believe I have not only found that but that I have found a superior way to compost with worms over many designs with this “bag system”.
Innovative Design and Ant Resistant by Proxy
The design is the type of thing where simple meets innovative. This model is the second the inventor has put out. It has an improved bottom that I think makes a ton of sense. The metal frame (despite claims to the contrary by some in reviews) is very sold and sturdy as are the nylon corner brackets that you use to assemble it.
Assembly is a 5 minute and zero beer operation. Seriously if you want a beer drink one and admire your 3 minutes of handy work after you put it together, if you really think that rates a beer. The beauty of this system is for my situation is it is suspended and all zipped up, there is one vector of entry for ants and it is where the zippers on the top come together. They do leave a small gap, as of yet I have had no issues but if it becomes a problem I will plug the hole with same some petroleum jelly after closing. Lubed zippers and stuck ants, done.
The over all design though is not really anti ant, it is more pro air flow. The bag is very well built and durable, think rip stop nylon on the best tactical bag brands. Solid double stitching everywhere but it breathes. This allows good airflow at all times, good airflow is happy worms.
I quickly figured out that there are two real keys to this worm farm, the first is you don’t need as much moisture as you think you do. Damp is all you need and remember almost everything we feed to worms is wet and lets go a lot of water. I cover problems next but most stem as you will see from people using too much water and not enough bedding. I watched a ton of youtube videos on this and everyone that is really happy says the same thing, not too wet and good bedding.
For bedding you can used shredded paper, coco coir, prepared bedding, etc. but you should be adding bedding in addition to food, not every time but say weekly may be every other week. Let me say I really like the Frabill Product for a prepared bedding for initial set up. I use paper and coir after initial set up though. You really just need to keep an eye on stuff, if it seems really wet, add some bedding and stop feeding for a bit.
You should not have worm juice dripping from your bag, ever. With this system that is way to wet and I think the desire some have for it, is a source of trouble for many people. If you want worm tea, put some castings in a big “tea bag”, set that in a 5 gallon bucket and pump air into it for 24 hours. That will do more then leached fluid ever could hope to anyway.
When ready to harvest you remove the bottom pouch, open the bottom draw string and take out as much of the castings as you want, then close it back up and keep going. I am sure some worms will come along for the ride, you can just sort them (most anyway) and return them to the top.
The Negative Reviews and Why the Problems Exist
I am not going to say that the negative people in this one are “God’s special children” likely some are but mostly I think it is one small assembly error and again adding too much water. Let’s start with the assembly error.
I should of video’d this before putting it together but when assembling I noticed that the brackets do have a right and a wrong way to go together. You will notice two of the three holes have a stop in them, one goes deeper. The deeper hole is for the vertical arms, the more shallow for the horizontal. I noticed this instantly but get how the less mechanically inclined may not, the instructions on this one could use a bit of an upgrade.
Simply put though if someone does this wrong; assembly will become very difficult near the end and the angle will never be square. You might even break a bracket or bend a frame piece if you never workout what is wrong and try to force stuff. So don’t do that. My video below will make it pretty clear what I am talking about if you don’t quite follow what I am saying here.
Next is the wetness factor, one reviewer actually said, “Staining When Too Wet” and included a picture with a large puddle at the bottom. Okay how about, IDK, not making it too wet? They also complained it “doesn’t keep mites in”, um okay not even sure how to respond to that. Again this is not a bath tub bin you are going to harvest worm tea from it isn’t designed that way.
Next there is an excellent video available in the product listing by the inventor and he states that it is “important that it be installed on level ground” because the bin and stand are designed to support vertical force not side shear. That bit about side shear are my words, he didn’t say it that way but it is the logical conclusion.
Something bigger is at work here though, yes I am sure some “special people” set it on a 30 degree hill but you know where you don’t have 30 degree hills? Inside a building. Unless you are on some hell scape version of Hoarders anyway. And while I am sure a hill is bad, I think outside especially without over head cover is worse.
Let’s start with the obvious, sun on a worm farm is bad, m’kay. Sun on material like ripstop nylon and resin brackets in time is also bad. Going to say right out of the gate this belongs in a garage, out building, shed, etc. If not at minimum somewhere sun never hits directly and a roof of some kind blocks all rain. I am back to wet but this time wet equalling weight.
It is a bag, if it sits in rain even though nylon like this is great at shedding water to a degree it will accumulate on the lid, form a pond and then really seep into the interior. Simple question would you rather carry a 5 gallon bucket filled with lightly moist soil or one with very wet soil in it. The dry one right? Because at 8.3 lbs a gallon water is heavy.
What I noticed if that almost every picture of a structural failure was outside on a lawn and such. The stand is designed to support the weight of a full bin with damp material, not even a 75% full one with waterlogged material. I think that is easy enough to understand. In other words one way or another I think more that 90% of people who have had issues with this product simply got it too wet. So don’t do that and I expect you will love it.
Final Thoughts
Honestly while as I said my great battle over 10 years on this property with the fire ant plague is what made me try this, I just think it is a better way to vermicompost. If I have enough success I will likely buy a second one to up production further. With the addition of biochar on our homestead adding it to our new worm bins is a natural fit. And, while I have no designs on selling worms, I do have another reason for creating a worm surplus.
As many of you know I have developed a method I call “Johnson-Su Lite” composting with a simplified version of the Johnson-Su bioreactor. The people behind the original deign add 2 pounds of worms to a batch to finish it. Their batches are much larger than mine so half a pound to a pound will likely be enough for mine. I am unwilling to pay for worms for this purpose due to the fact that again the dang ants sooner or later invade and kill them, but I don’t mind if the worms are essentially free.
Anyway for me the Urban Worm Bag Composting Bin closes a loop I have had open since I moved to our little farmstead in 2013, but for everyone again I think this is a better way to compost so check it out today. I also wanted to point out if you want to build your own stand you can buy just the bag. I don’t really think you can save money this way but you could over build your stand or may be put it on castors if you plan to keep it in a building with a hard floor.
There other way I can see this working is if you wanted to do a “rack stand” that may be holds multiple bags, but I think most will do bet just buying the full kit and putting it together correctly as described here. Again see my video below for clarity on that.
Lastly while I encourage you to watch my video and by all means check out some of the YouTube videos by happy users, really watch the video on the product page. You will find it at the top where you can view the various images, there are two videos. The second longer one is by the owner and it shows me a guy that helps his customers and cares about the quality of his product. The kind of guy I want to do business with.
The U.S. dollar is currently the dominant global reserve currency, meaning that it is held by central banks and other financial institutions around the world as a store of value and a medium of exchange. If the dollar were to lose its status as the global reserve currency, several significant consequences could occur:
Decreased demand for U.S. assets: As central banks and other financial institutions reduce their holdings of U.S. dollars, demand for U.S. assets, such as Treasury bonds and equities, would decline. This could lead to lower prices for these assets and higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government and American corporations.
Increased inflation: The loss of the dollar’s reserve currency status could lead to higher inflation in the United States, as the value of the dollar falls and the prices of imports rise. This could also lead to reduced purchasing power for Americans, as the cost of imported goods and services would increase.
Weakening of U.S. geopolitical power: The dominance of the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency has given the United States significant geopolitical power, as other countries rely on the U.S. for access to financial markets. If the dollar were to lose its reserve currency status, the U.S. may find it more difficult to project its power and influence globally.
Increased volatility in global financial markets: The U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency has contributed to stability in global financial markets. If the dollar were to lose this status, there could be increased volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets, as other currencies and assets compete to fill the void left by the dollar.
The loss of the U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency would have significant economic and geopolitical consequences, not only for the United States but also for the global economy as a whole. It is something people don’t think can happen, but every reserve currency that ever has existed, has eventually failed. Today we examine what it might really look like if it happened and how it actually could.

As is typical though with Paul he isn’t happy to just count his money, he always brings out more value. Here are the stretch goals that have already been met and will go to anyone backing the project at 100 dollars or more.
So now by backing the project for 100 bucks you don’t just get all the great stuff that was already included you also get all of the stuff listed above and I know Paul, more will be coming.
As of this writing, they’re 6X-funded. They gave me a sneak peak of the movie, and it is outstanding. That, coupled with all the project plans that come with the different rewards tiers makes this one a no-brainer. There really is something for every member of the TSP community.
As Awesome as the Movies is What if You Could be there in Person?
But another aspect of this thing that I want to remind you about is that the event that produced this film, the Permaculture Technology Jamboree, is turning into one of the can’t-miss events of the year for a community like ours. A lot of you come out to my place every year, and for good reason – I bring out the best instructors and we have a blast.
But if there’s one other event that holds a candle to my yearly throw-down, it’s the Permaculture Technology Jamboree at Wheaton Labs. This is the event that turned into the Low Tech Laboratory Movie that the kickstarter is all about.
If you watched the video on the kickstarter page, you know you don’t want to miss it. Regular ticket prices are $1650, but Paul has extended the Earlybird pricing to use for a little while longer so you all can have a chance to capitalize.
Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Now look the PowerCore Slim 10050 is not the beast the larger unit is, but it has a lot going for it. Let’s start with price. Today you can pick this little guy up for only 21.99 on sale. Next it is still a good amount of back up power and can charge an iPhone over 2 times from dead to full before needing to be recharged itself. Not bad for about 20 bucks huh?
Next small is beautiful to many, unlike its big brother that is like well two old school lap top batteries merged together, this little guy has a smaller foot print. I’d say it takes about as much room up in your Go Bag as say a 2 decks of playing cards.
Basically while there is no way you can stuff the capacity of the larger Anker charges into something this small, not with today’s batteries anyway, this thing rocks. It is from my research the most powerful charger in this size range on the market. And made by Anker who has always stood behind everything they make.
I have recommended a large number of Anker products on TspAz now for over 4 years. In total I have sold literally thousands of them. I have yet to hear a single complaint about a problem that Anker didn’t make right. Take that plus 18 bucks for the Anker PowerCore Slim 10000mAh Portable Charger and this is an easy one to add to the TspAz catalog.
To me your phone is your lifeline. It brings you news, it lets you call for help, communicate with loved ones and more. While I have a generator and several battery banks in my home I am not always in my home. So I always keep one of these in my pack fully charged as a final back up on power needs. I recommend you consider any of the Anker back up power devices to fill this need. They are and have always been the best option for the money I can find on the market.

The average farmer and even large scale gardener in the US spends a great deal on fertilizers and fertility aids to gain a good yield on their efforts. Due to modern chemistry mankind was gifted or cursed depending on how you look at it, by learning two things…
Plants can grow and be productive with only three primary nutrients (NPK)
We can make NPK cheaply from industrial processes
This is what led to the “green revolution” credited today with feeding the planet with almost 8 billion people on it. I want to point out before turning the corner that this isn’t all wrong. In fact it is how we fed people with enough consistency to grow global population from about 2.5 Billion in 1950 to 7.7 billion today.
There are four primary problems that have come from this though…
Chemical fertilizer was the first step in the “biocide cocktails” we have today
The use of NPK as primary fertility has lead to biologically dead soils
The cost of NPK continues to increase and drive up production costs of food
The use of excessive amounts of NPK (necessary to gain yields) creates massive toxic run off
In short the entire thing is an ecological disaster and a human health disaster at the same time. Our food supply is threatened with collapse, our nutrient density in our food (including organic) is crap compared to a century ago and we are destroying the productive capacity of our most arable lands.
If you are going to grow your own food or have a market garden or small farm this is not the model you want to follow. It is unsustainable, expensive and produces a second rate quality product. The good news is you likely have all the fertility you need already and you need living soils far more so than you need NPK. Today we talk about harvesting waste streams and function stacking on the homestead in a way that will make your land more fertile every year and allow you to rely less and less on expensive outside inputs over time.

Brian Perry and Luke Grim are the creators of these16things.com. Brian is a long-time listener of TSP and got the original idea when he heard Jack’s podcast titled, “15 Things to Teach Kids that Government Schools Never Will“. Brian is a Christian, husband, has 7 kids, homeschools his kids (his wife does all the work), and owns his own painting and pressure washing business.
He used to be the typical adult male – out of shape, ate a poor diet and worried more about watching sports than taking care of himself. Since finding Jack’s show, he has changed his diet, is in much better shape, raises chickens and has a small garden.
Luke is a Christian, husband, father of 8 kids, homeschools his kids (again, his wife does), retired Army and teaches 12th grade Government at an online high school. Luke was brought into this project recently because Brian values Luke’s ability to teach. Luke is especially good at discussing today’s “woke” culture and why/how most of it is built on lies and deception.
Together they created a project called These 16 Things. Their mission can be summed up as teaching things that schools don’t. To prepare kids for a self-sufficient life when they are ready to leave the house and live on their own. To prepare parents to have critical conversations necessary to move kids in the right direction, which includes: knowing truth, taking a stance for Christ, having confidence with humility, and standing against the pull of modern-day culture.
