Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 2:10:56 — 37.5MB)

Today is really more than a podcast.  I would consider it a full on introduction workshop for making, using and understanding biochar.  It will be geared to the homestead or small farm level of things. We will talk just a little bit about what larger systems can do, but 95% of what you learn today will apply to any backyard garden or small to medium homestead property.  Honestly this one has so much in it, I should be charging for it as a paid virtual workshop, but that isn’t me, it is free to all.

Sometimes I feel society in on the edge of yet another split.  Those that value things like gardens, back yard birds and foraging, and those who see no value in such things.  These people look around and see a world when you can summon a car with a cell phone, to either take you to dinner or bring dinner to you. Unlike 2008 when I began the journey of this podcast people are not in touch with our current economic situation.  While I feel we are on the verge of a recession that will be worse than 2008, currently if … Continue reading →
