Today on The Survival Podcast the expert council answers your questions on politics, economics, diet, controlling weeds, solar power, water systems, dental health, permaculture, history, AI & more.
Make sure if you submit content for an expert council show you do the following….
- Email it to me at jack @ thesurvivalpodcast.com
- Put TSPC Expert in the subject line
- Ask you question and state the expert you have the question for in one coherent sentence
- Hit the return key a few times and then give all the details you think are necessary
Following that procedure makes it about 100X more likely your question will get though screening and sent on to one of our experts. All expert council members can be found on the Meet the Expert Council Page.

I’d suggest honey locust for that privacy hedge. Grows native in northwest Ohio, so I’d assume it continues into Michigan. It gets gnarly 6-8 inch thorns and is a nitrogen fixer. Pods are edible and have decent protein content so it has been used as livestock fodder.
On Garlic Mustard, it makes a solid FPJ for KNF. There are plenty of regen-no till-natural farmers that would barter for that stuff. Plant food for pennies on the dollar from your land back to your land.
Nick is on target regarding evergreens in MI. I’d add white cedar (arborvitae). He mentioned Osage Orange I believe but a fast growing thorny deciduous pick would be Black Locust. You can tailor your height requirements with pruning. The reason I wouldn’t pick Honey locust is those thorns will put a hole in a tractor tire!
Also shrub layer natives would be Rugosa Rose, black raspberries, and gooseberry! Thorns, thorns, and more thorns! So many fast and easy growing natives that would love to fill in that niche.
