In Kugzua, Ghana, farmers were falling sick. They soon determined the cause: chemical fertilizer. But faced with a choice between poor crops and poor health, farmers stuck with what they were told would keep them fed—until they encountered another option. It's one that both stemmed from their traditions, and promised a healthier future for both them and their crops. In this environmental food fight, we meet farmers like Abraham Abubilla Abuari, Christiana Akparibo, and Judith Atama who are leaning into tradition and trying something new to them—compost. Find out how exactly they create the natural fertilizer, and why this technique is helping them deal with the changing climate. CreditsThis episode was written and produced in Ghana by Tamara Merritt with support from Farm Radio International's Accra office. It was hosted by Ivy Prosper and edited by Tara Sprickerhoff. Special thanks to local translators, Quality Radio FM, and the farmers who shared their stories. Translations were voiced by Eunice Gakpetor, Abraham Atubila and Jill Adinkrah.

That's almost 1800 lbs. per year, or 816kg. And over 56% of this garbage is food, yard waste, paper or paperboard. That means over 1,000 lbs. of the municipal waste produced in the U.S. could be composted, per person. Much of our annual garden cleanup involves yard waste and now would be the perfect time to start a compost pile combining that yard waste with scraps from our kitchen and paper from our offices and cardboard from all those packages we have delivered to our doors.Today on Just Grow Something we're going to talk about starting a compost pile or re-starting it if you've made an attempt before and maybe weren't as successful as you'd hoped. Composting can be done in lots of ways in lots of spaces, so we're going to cover the basics of what you need to know regardless of where and how you accomplish it, give you a few options for composting systems, large and small, and the do's and don'ts of what goes into our composting systems and what we should avoid.

In a world that often feels overwhelming, where systemic challenges can paralyze us into inaction, I sat down with Jeff Chu - a journalist, preacher and storyteller who understands that transformation happens through small, beautiful acts of grace. Jeff's journey is anything but ordinary. From the bustling newsrooms of Time and Fast Company to the contemplative acres of Princeton's farminary, he discovered profound wisdom in the most unexpected place: a messy, rotting compost pile. There, amid liquefying spinach and decomposing vegetables, Jeff learned that death and resurrection aren't just theological concepts - they're living, breathing realities happening beneath our feet. Jeff, like all of us navigating this world, has every reason to be cynical. Instead, he chooses love. He chooses curiosity. He invites us to channel our anger not into destruction, but into small, ordinary graces that can fundamentally reshape our world. In this conversation, we'll explore how we might move from transactional relationships - with land, with each other, with God - to something more beautiful. We'll talk about rest, about poetry, about seeing each other as God's beloved creation. So join us, open your heart, and prepare to be transformed by a radical vision of grace. Jeff Chu is an award-winning journalist and editor-at-large at Travel+Leisure. He is the author of Does Jesus Really Love Me? and the co-author, with the late Rachel Held Evans, of the New York Times bestseller Wholehearted Faith. Chu is a former Time staff writer and Fast Company editor whose work has also appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Modern Farmer. In his weekly newsletter, “Notes of a Make-Believe Farmer,” Chu writes about spirituality, gardening, food, travel, and culture. He lives with his husband, Tristan, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.Jeff's Book:Good SoilSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In this episode of the Flower Farmer Forum podcast, host Liz interviews Cathy Nesbitt, the 'Laughing Bean Queen' and founder of Cathy's Crawley Composters. They discuss the benefits and methods of indoor composting with worms, including the science behind it, how to manage a worm bin, and the environmental impact of composting. Kathy shares her journey from being an accidental entrepreneur to educating others about the importance of composting and connecting with nature. The conversation emphasizes the ease of composting at home and the joy of nurturing worms as part of sustainable gardening practices.TakeawaysIndoor composting is a viable solution for those with limited outdoor space.Worms require a carbon-nitrogen mix for effective composting.Aerobic composting prevents bad odors and promotes healthy decomposition.Temperature, moisture, and airflow are key factors in worm composting.Freezing food scraps can speed up the composting process.Citrus, garlic, and onion should be avoided in worm bins.Worms can breed to fill their space without overpopulating.Cathy's journey into composting began with a personal challenge.Education and workshops are essential for promoting composting.Connecting with nature through gardening fosters a peaceful existence.Helpful Links:Farmers to Florists: https://www.farmerstoflorists.com/Flower Farmer Forum Conference: https://www.sunnymarymeadowcoaching.com/FFFC2025Crop Planning for Your Flower Farm: https://www.sunnymarymeadowcoaching.com/offers/MtoFSsED/checkoutPeddling Perishable Products: https://sunnymarymeadowcoaching.com/foundationsofPPPQuickbooks: https://quickbooks.partnerlinks.io/0o09r7rqoau4Podcast website: www.sunnymarymeadowcoaching.comPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flowerfarmerforum/Podcast Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/888196709178852

In this episode of Que Bola, I had the pleasure of speaking with Caiti Waks, a passionate nonprofit organizer dedicated to ocean conservation through her organization, Debris Free Oceans. Our conversation delved into the pressing issue of waste management and the urgent need for a shift towards a zero-waste lifestyle, particularly in Miami-Dade County. We kicked off the episode by discussing Caiti's background and what inspired her to dedicate her life to environmental advocacy. Growing up in South Florida, she developed a deep love for the ocean, which was further solidified by a transformative experience in Nicaragua, where she witnessed the harsh realities of waste management in impoverished communities. This eye-opening moment propelled her to take action, leading her to establish environmental initiatives during her high school years and eventually pursue a career focused on ocean conservation. Caiti explained the concept of zero waste, emphasizing its aspirational nature and the importance of fostering a circular economy. We explored the challenges of implementing sustainable practices in a consumer-driven society, where single-use plastics dominate. Caiti shared her optimism about the incremental changes happening in Miami, highlighting the growing awareness and demand for sustainability among consumers and businesses alike. Throughout our discussion, we tackled the complexities of engaging diverse communities in environmental efforts, particularly those facing economic hardships. Caiti stressed the need for inclusivity in the conversation around sustainability, ensuring that all voices are heard and that solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of different neighborhoods. We also touched on the innovative programs Debris Free Oceans is spearheading, such as the Zero Waste Miami initiative, which aims to unite businesses, nonprofits, and government entities to collaborate on waste reduction strategies. Caiti shared insights into their mentorship program for college students interested in ocean conservation and the various community events they host to raise awareness and foster connections among like-minded individuals. As we wrapped up the episode, Caiti's passion for her work was palpable, and her belief in the power of collective action left me feeling hopeful about the future of our oceans and the environment. This conversation not only highlighted the importance of individual responsibility in combating waste but also showcased the potential for community-driven solutions to create meaningful change. Join us for this inspiring episode as we explore the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship with Caiti Waks from Debris Free Oceans.

The Lost Skills of Our Grandparents | Episode 357In today's fast-paced, tech-driven world, many of the skills that kept our grandparents self-sufficient and resilient have been forgotten. These skills were essential for survival before the conveniences of modern technology, and as preppers and homesteaders, we can learn a lot from the past. In this episode, we dive into the lost skills of our grandparents and why they matter more than ever today.Before refrigeration, people had to be resourceful with food storage. Canning was one of the most popular methods, with families using water bath and pressure canning to preserve vegetables, meats, and fruits. Smoking and curing meats provided a way to store protein long-term without refrigeration. Root cellars, the original off-grid refrigerators, kept vegetables fresh through the winter months using natural temperature control.Our grandparents knew how to make the most out of simple ingredients. They baked their own bread, churned butter, and made cheese from fresh milk. Nothing went to waste—leftovers became soups, and every part of an animal was used. Depression-era meals were designed to be filling and nutritious with minimal resources, a skill set that is incredibly valuable for modern preppers.Homesteading was a way of life for past generations. Backyard chickens provided eggs and meat, while rabbits were an efficient protein source. Heirloom gardening ensured a steady supply of food, and saving seeds guaranteed crops for the next year. Composting and natural fertilizers kept the soil healthy without synthetic chemicals.In a time before fast fashion, people knew how to repair and make their own clothing. Sewing, darning socks, and patching garments extended the life of every item. Some even tanned hides to create leather for durable shoes and workwear. These skills not only saved money but also ensured self-reliance.Before over-the-counter medicines were widely available, families relied on herbal remedies and natural treatments. Homemade salves, tinctures, and poultices treated everything from cuts to colds. Many households had a go-to list of medicinal plants, such as chamomile for relaxation, garlic for immune support, and honey for wound care.

The Lost Skills of Our Grandparents | Episode 357 In today's fast-paced, tech-driven world, many of the skills that kept our grandparents self-sufficient and resilient have been forgotten. These skills were essential for survival before the conveniences of modern technology, and as preppers and homesteaders, we can learn a lot from the past. In this episode, we dive into the lost skills of our grandparents and why they matter more than ever today. Food Preservation: Canning, Smoking, and Root Cellars Before refrigeration, people had to be resourceful with food storage. Canning was one of the most popular methods, with families using water bath and pressure canning to preserve vegetables, meats, and fruits. Smoking and curing meats provided a way to store protein long-term without refrigeration. Root cellars, the original off-grid refrigerators, kept vegetables fresh through the winter months using natural temperature control. Cooking from Scratch and Stretching Ingredients Our grandparents knew how to make the most out of simple ingredients. They baked their own bread, churned butter, and made cheese from fresh milk. Nothing went to waste—leftovers became soups, and every part of an animal was used. Depression-era meals were designed to be filling and nutritious with minimal resources, a skill set that is incredibly valuable for modern preppers. Self-Sufficiency on the Homestead Homesteading was a way of life for past generations. Backyard chickens provided eggs and meat, while rabbits were an efficient protein source. Heirloom gardening ensured a steady supply of food, and saving seeds guaranteed crops for the next year. Composting and natural fertilizers kept the soil healthy without synthetic chemicals. Making and Repairing Clothes In a time before fast fashion, people knew how to repair and make their own clothing. Sewing, darning socks, and patching garments extended the life of every item. Some even tanned hides to create leather for durable shoes and workwear. These skills not only saved money but also ensured self-reliance. Natural Remedies and Home Medicine Before over-the-counter medicines were widely available, families relied on herbal remedies and natural treatments. Homemade salves, tinctures, and poultices treated everything from cuts to colds. Many households had a go-to list of medicinal plants, such as chamomile for relaxation, garlic for immune support, and honey for wound care. Basic first aid knowledge was also essential for survival. Off-Grid Skills: Surviving Without Modern Technology Our grandparents didn't have the luxury of GPS, smartphones, or even reliable electricity. They knew how to navigate using the sun, stars, and landmarks. Many homes were heated with wood, and alternative fuels like kerosene were common. Water had to be sourced and purified naturally, whether from wells, rain catchment, or boiling. Making soap and candles at home was a necessity rather than a hobby. Bartering and Community Cooperation Self-sufficiency didn't mean isolation. Communities thrived on bartering and cooperation. People traded goods and services instead of relying on big-box stores. Skills like blacksmithing, carpentry, and midwifery were highly valued. Neighbors helped each other out, reinforcing the importance of strong community ties—a lesson modern preppers can take to heart. Why These Skills Matter Today The world is unpredictable.

Chris and Dave (finally) put a bow on the 2024-25 Packers season. The fellas were on a Darkness Retreat following the painful opening round playoff loss to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Eagles, but with a steady IV drip of Cymbalta, the guys got up off the floor to record a season-ender. And, boy what a show it is! Well, it is actually more of the same nonsense as usual as Chris and Dave look back at 2024 and look ahead to what the Packers might (should?) do in 2025 as the off-season descends.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapyPayPal: Packerstherapy@yahoo.comPosting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet.

Show Notes In this conversation, Anna Harvey discusses her integration of psychoanalysis and ecology in her work as a senior lecturer in social work. She emphasizes the importance of understanding child protection within a broader sociopolitical context and advocates for a public health approach to social work. Anna explores how ecological perspectives can inform systemic thinking and the interconnectedness of individuals within their environments. The discussion highlights the need to decenter the individual and recognize the symbiotic relationships that exist in both nature and society. In this conversation, Simon and Anna explore the significance of language in psychoanalysis, the transformative practice of composting as a metaphor for personal growth, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. They discuss the importance of symbiosis in nature, the need to re-enchant our lives with spirituality, and the reflections on what it means to live a good life in a society that often prioritizes superficial experiences over deep connections. Reflections The internal psychological world is shaped by external environmental factors. Ecology provides a lens to understand systemic interconnections. Diversity in ecosystems creates strength and resilience. Symbiosis is a fundamental aspect of life and ecology. Understanding our interconnectedness can reshape our approach to social issues.  Composting encourages a physical and spiritual engagement with our thoughts. We are small parts of a vast interconnected universe. Modern life often alienates us from our true selves. Experiences should be deep and meaningful, not superficial. We must engage with diverse perspectives to grow. Living a good life involves recognizing our place in the world.

Her research explores interconnection and hyper-individualism. Personally, she home-educates her son in ecology, evolution, and natural history, driven by a deep passion for the dynamic interplay between biotic and abiotic systems, shaping both social work and environmental awareness.  

Self-Sufficiency on a Budget | Episode 349 Living a self-sufficient lifestyle doesn't have to break the bank. Many people assume that self-reliance requires massive investments in land, equipment, and expensive gear, but in reality, it's about resourcefulness, prioritization, and making smart financial decisions. In this episode, we explore how to become more self-sufficient while staying within your budget. Mindset & Strategy Before diving into practical steps, it's essential to adopt the right mindset. Self-sufficiency isn't about spending money—it's about developing skills, using resources wisely, and focusing on long-term sustainability. Start small, make incremental improvements, and always assess needs versus wants before making purchases. Food & Water on a Budget Grow Your Own Food: Seeds are cheap, and container gardening allows you to grow food even in small spaces. Composting provides free fertilizer. Buy in Bulk: Purchasing staple foods like rice, beans, and flour in bulk can save money in the long run. Preserve Food: Learn how to can, dehydrate, and freeze food to make the most of seasonal harvests and store sales. Water Collection: Set up inexpensive rainwater collection and invest in affordable filtration systems for emergency preparedness. DIY & Skills Over Spending Learn Basic Repairs: Instead of hiring professionals, learn how to fix things yourself through free online resources. Repurpose & Upcycle: Use salvaged materials for projects instead of buying new. Bartering & Trading: Exchange skills, tools, and goods within your community to reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Energy & Utilities Savings Cut Utility Costs: Improve home insulation, use passive heating/cooling methods, and switch to energy-efficient appliances. Solar on a Budget: Affordable solar-powered lights and generators can reduce dependence on the grid. Off-Grid Solutions: Simple changes like using wood-burning stoves or propane cookers can lower reliance on expensive electricity and gas. Budget-Friendly Preparedness Smart Stockpiling: Look for deals at discount stores, bulk sales, and clearance sections to build your emergency supply. DIY Essentials: Make your own soap, cleaning supplies, and first aid kits instead of buying pre-made versions. Thrift Store Finds: Used survival gear, clothing, and tools can often be found at a fraction of the retail price. Community & Local Resources Join Local Groups: Farmers' markets, co-ops, and mutual aid groups can provide fresh food and bartering opportunities. Free Learning Resources: Utilize YouTube, public libraries, and community workshops to build skills without spending a dime. Trade & Barter: Network with like-minded individuals to exchange goods and services, reducing reliance on cash transactions. Final Thoughts Being self-sufficient doesn't mean spending a fortune. With smart planning, skill-building, and a bit of creativity, you can take control of your resources while staying within budget. Whether you're just starting or refining your self-reliance skills, there are always ways to cut costs and increase sustainability. Stay prepared, stay resourceful, and stay free!
