Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:49:21 — 31.3MB)
Today we discuss 12 bulletproof homesteading techniques that can transform the way you interact with your land. We’ll touch on wicking beds, a method that can revolutionize your approach to irrigation, and my simple adaptation Johnson Su-style composting, a game-changer for soil health and fertility with a lot less work involved.
We’ll also delve into the world of small livestock, from chickens and quail to rabbits and bees, and how these animals can contribute to a thriving homestead ecosystem. Fodder tree systems, another topic on our list, offer a sustainable way to feed these animals while improving soil quality.
In the realm of gardening, we’ll discuss why every gardener should develop their own ten core crops specific to their climate, needs and preferences. We’ll also explore worm beds and Black Soldier Fly larvae, both excellent ways to manage waste and improve soil health. Aquatic vegetation, often overlooked, can also play a crucial role in a balanced homestead.
Finally, we’ll look at some advanced techniques like biochar, automated irrigation, hydro and aquaponics. These methods can take your homesteading to the next level. And of course, we’ll cover food preservation techniques like lacto-fermentation and dehydration, as well as brewing compost teas, to ensure nothing goes to waste.

I’ve listened to many Podcast as I’ve been growing up as a man from the age of 40 when I finally started growing up. I’m 46 about to turn 47. This is the best Podcast I’ve ever heard in my life and I have to listen to it again for the 3rd time with paper and pin in my hand and right every freaking thing you said. Unless you have it all Printed out somewhere. I love what you do And how you teach. On one of your lives a few weeks ago I told you that I’ve been listening to you for a couple of months and my knowledge and production has increased by 300%. I was so impressed that you responded to one of my comments even though you went the fuck off and did not really understand what my comment was trying to say. I really was impressed that you read my comment & even gave a response.
Any reliable sources for the aquatic vegetation, like azolla, water hyacinth, etc.?
Honestly with bang for the buck etsy and ebay
