Last week I realized that we have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture for a while so last Tuesday I did part one of this series.  If you have not listened to it you may want to listen to it for a basic understanding of the science of permaculture, especially if the topic itself is new to you. Today we expand on Part One and discuss sectors of design and basic earthworks.  We also...

AirCrete is a home made cellular cement product with structural &#3...

We have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture for a while so we are going to do that today.  For those who have studied Permaculture for a while today might be just a bit remedial but I will try to make it interesting for everyone.  We are going to start out with the prime directive, ethics, zones of design and the layers of a forest.  These four components drive the entire system t...

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-626- Prepping from Starting Out to Advanced Tactics and was originally published on March 17, 2011.  A lot has changed since this show originally aired and a lot has remained the same.  One thing is clear though my call at the time to not freak the hell out over the Fukushim...

Today we take a  look at a subject we really haven’t gone into for a long time, container gardening. I know many listeners have very small yards or no yards and are regulated to growing things on a balcony. Containers though to me are for everyone, they short cut soil prep time, offer many advantages and can be used in a variety of ways that improve your production regardless of your land or...

Americans in particular are very fond of the word freedom.  It always has amazed me how people so attracted to the word freedom can get so upset when someone chooses to use said freedom differently then they do.  Over half of the people don’t vote, we all know this but tell someone who does vote you are going to around an election and watch them lose their minds about it. America’s mai...
