Today I want to discuss a skill we have not dug into for quite a while.  That is seed saving and I also want to talk a bit about seed storage, trading seed and the value of regionally adapted seeds. There is also a ton of confusion in the seed marketplace today about exactly what a GMO is, what a hybrid is and what an “heirloom” seed is. Without an understanding of this you are vulnerable to a lot of misinformation campaigns designed to sell you things you don’t need or keep you from using some seeds that may really … Continue reading →

Time for a two fer Tuesday.  Rather than cover one of these subjects in deep detail I plan to cover both with enough of the basics for you to just be able to understand the primary concepts and get started with both.  First on saving seed, the good news is this is really easy and man has been doing it with no special equipment for about as long as he has understood what seeds were.  It is simple to do and the key is picking the things that work best for you. Starting plants is actually a bit more complicated, … Continue reading →

Okay I am calling this series “Half Acre Homesteading” because marketing. The use of two words in a 2-3 word phrase is good at grabbing attention, think “Taco Tuesdays” or anything in that vein. You don’t need a half acre to make today’s show work for you, you can do most of this on even a postage stamp lot, many do. Likewise even if you have a lot more land, then this is what we call zone one design. Creation of a 1/20th – 1/2 acre system that you spend the majority of your activity on and hence it is … Continue reading →

I was talking with Ben Falk of Whole Systems Design yesterday about how more and more small seed companies are now buying at least some seed from companies associated with the ilk of Monsanto. Ben was pretty shocked to hear the Johnny’s Selected Seeds is buying some of their seeds from Semanis, which is owned by Monsanto. There is a lot of fear about GMO contamination both legitimate and ridiculous specifically when the word Monsanto comes up. The best solution is to save your own seeds but we are going to also discuss how to know who you can trust … Continue reading →
