I need to talk about Corona Virus and I want to talk more about my idea for micro CSAs as well.  So while they are not highly related, I am going to do both and honestly the things you should be doing for Corona Virus won’t take me that long to cover. I have said many times to not panic about Corona Virus and your basic preps you should have in place already will be for most people all you need.  This has led to a misconception that I consider it to be nothing, it isn’t nothing but it also … Continue reading →

Nick Ferguson is in Texas as part of a consultation tour and spending a few days at Nine Mile Farm.  We were sampling some amazing rum last night along with some far too good martinis and started talking about a variety of subjects.  With Nick and I of course that involved fish tanks and aquatic systems but we also started talking plants, plant propagation, the concept of micro CSAs, planning for an eventual economic shift and more. It all sounded pretty good after a second drink anyway so we figured it might still sound good today, we shall see about … Continue reading →

1010 Extra Strength Seedling Trays – Item of the 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 1010 Extra Strength Seedling Trays from Bootstrap Farmer.  They also make standard 1020 trays if you prefer them for what ever reason.  I actually prefer 1020s for seed starting but I am currently using 1010s for microgreen production in my hydroponics farm with ebb and flow and growing on jute mats. I went to 1010s because it lets me grow up to … Continue reading →

Tierra Garden Easy Garden Tunnels – Items of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Note – the second video below is from 2-19-20 and the more recent of the two.  At this point I am all in on the fleece for winter crops in my climate.  That video also shows a huge difference between a protected crop in a new bed vs. a non protected crop in a bed that has been intensively managed for a year.  The intensively managed soil even unprotected out produces the new bed with protection.  Now imagine the two together. Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many … Continue reading →
