Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-626- Prepping from Starting Out to Advanced Tactics and was originally published on March 17, 2011.  A lot has changed since this show originally aired and a lot has remained the same.  One thing is clear though my call at the time to not freak the hell out over the Fukushima incident was pretty damn accurate. The following are the original show notes from that episode… With the disaster in Japan I am getting a lot of emails from brand new people … Continue reading →

Today we take a  look at a subject we really haven’t gone into for a long time, container gardening. I know many listeners have very small yards or no yards and are regulated to growing things on a balcony. Containers though to me are for everyone, they short cut soil prep time, offer many advantages and can be used in a variety of ways that improve your production regardless of your land or lack thereof. Get ready and strap in, I am on fire today with information and resources, this is one of those shows that will overload and work … Continue reading →
