Growing Grass, Not Food – S2E11 “Life moves pretty fast; if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it!” The opening monologue in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off could not be more correct! Life has been moving pretty fast over the past month, and it is time to pull back the curtain and tell you what has been happening. Regular followers of Small Scale Life on Instagram, Facebook, the Podcast and here at the Blog have probably picked up on a thing or two that something big has been going on in the background. Not to spoil the fun and suspense, I will just say that I have been growing grass by the square foot, and I don’t mean the fun stuff that people grow in California, Colorado and other states. No, I have been growing some nice turf in the yard, and growing grass was the first major step towards accomplishing our overall plan. To learn more and find out why, you’ll just have to listen to the podcast!

Travis Swanson’s Bee 52 Honey – S2E10 Time to focus on the bee, a gardener’s best friend! I know many of you have been wanting to hear this one, so it is long overdue! Recently, I had the pleasure to interview a local beekpeer named Travis Swanson. We discussed how Travis started beekeeping as a hobby, a full time position at a commercial operation and starting his own business. In addition, we have several listener questions from the MN-WI Regenerative Agriculture Facebook Group and the Small Scale Gardening Facebook Group. Since I am a newb when it comes to bees, I am glad my friends and listeners had questions! I learned a lot about Travis Swanson’s Bee 52 Honey, and I appreciate the samples and Travis being on the Small Scale Life Podcast! If you want to connect to Travis and buy honey, pollen or ask questions, feel free to e-mail him at travis@bee52honey.com! Podcast Topics and Links Travis from Bee 52 Honey hard at work! In this podcast, Travis and I discuss the following topics and links: Starting out as a beekeeper Becoming a commercial beekeeper Launching Bee 52 Honey – a small business Bees – pests, predators and diseases Questions from Listeners and Facebook Group Members Questions from Listeners: What are the basic requirements in terms of money and space for starting a small bee operation? The “small bee operation” is defined as enough to serve the purposes of your homestead. Honey, maybe some to sell, pollination to encourage growth of vegetables and flowers. What should you say to your neighbor when you find them spraying herbicides on flowering shrubs on a shared fence line, right behind the hives? My question is how many hives are too many in an area? Our neighbor has bees on all four corners of his 10 acres and told us that if we added bees the colonies could kill each other due to being too close. Is that a thing? Do you recommend for new beekeepers to have a mentor for the first year? Bees and bat houses: my neighbor has a couple bat houses, and my son has built a couple for scouts that we have. I’d also love to do bees. That being said, how far apart should I keep them so they don’t have a royal rumble (with the bees)? What is your preferred bear exclusion fencing system? Do you have a brand and volts recommendation? A special thanks to Travis for providing excellent samples of Bee 52 Honey and Pollen. They are delicious!

Learning, Doing, Growing – S2E8 April is off and running, and we are already approaching the middle of the month! Last week was pretty busy, and I did not post a podcast. However, I was busy working on updating the site and streamlining the user experience! I was inspired by a book by author, podcaster and blogger Ravi Jayagopal. He wrote an e-book called Confessions of a Wannabe PodcaSTAR, and after reading his book, I found that I could improve the site and podcast. It is learning, doing and growing in action! You should notice those changes right away. In addition, I launched a new Facebook Group dedicated to Small Scale Life. I am hoping to grow a community that is engaged in blog and podcast topics. My plan is to let you see some behind-the-scenes items and content. Who knows? Maybe community members will get some other special perks as we grow!

Interestelar é o novo filme do Christopher Nolan, que se propõe a ser bastante realista sobre os mistérios do universo. Mas será que isso é mesmo verdade, ou historinha de Hollywood? Para saber a resposta, vimos o filme com o astrônomo Alexandre Cherman, que conta pra gente neste episódio tudo o que é realmente possível e o que não é, neste e em outros filmes de ficção que também tiram onda de realistas, como 2001, Gravidade, etc. Entenda como funcionam os buracos negros, os buracos de minhoca, os efeitos da gravidade nos corpos celestes, e tente entender alguma coisa sobre a quinta dimensão. :) O post Podcrastinadores.S02E24 – Realismo Espacial apareceu primeiro em Podcrastinadores.
