We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations. This week, Alysse chats with Michael about all things gardening—especially the challenges of keeping plants (and yourself) thriving in the summer heat! They swap stories on irrigation, composting, and why dirt under your nails might just be the best therapy.Michael shares his journey from working in the disability sector to finding peace and purpose in horticulture. They also dig into (pun intended!) companion planting, urban gardening hacks, and the wild adventure of growing tropical fruits where they probably shouldn't grow. Plus, natural pest management tips and why starting small is the key to a flourishing garden.Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let's get growing!

Have you ever wondered how a wilted, shriveled tree could hold the solution to malnutrition and desertification? You're in for a revelation in this chat with Josef Garvi, founder of Sahara Sahel Foods. We uncover the surprising potential of indigenous, wild trees in the Sahel region. Despite their unassuming appearance, these trees can outproduce annual cereals by more than two-fold. Sahara Sahel Foods is tapping into this untapped resource to create an array of nutritious foods, from pseudo cereals and porridge to food oils and fruit powders.One can't help but marvel at nature's bounty as we delve into the world of indigenous trees and their role in boosting crop productivity. These hardy trees, built to survive in the harshest of climates, can yield double the dried seeds that rain-fed crops can manage. We explore the wisdom of creating biodiverse fields by intermixing these trees with other crops and the symbiotic benefits of practicing polyculture. Lastly, we focus on Niger, a country marked by unpredictability in climatic conditions and an ever-growing population. We discuss the irreplaceable role of biodiversity in fostering resilience. Josef, a Swede-Norwegian turned Nigerian, shares his inspiring work to restore the Sahara's greenery. Despite the challenges, he continues his mission, advocating for the planting of indigenous plants and nuts to foster a more hopeful environmental future.This conversation is a call to action for all of us, a challenge to look beyond appearances and see the potential in the unlikeliest of places.

My guest for this episode is Hoss Hauksson, and he practices a form of viticulture in Switzerland that integrates elements of vitiforestry or a silvoculture polyculture, using a biodynamic approach, with the world's smallest sheep and technologies like drone spraying and UV robots. His wine takes the idea of terroir literally, incorporating medicinal and aromatic herbs and trees as infusions in both the vineyard ecosystem and in his pinot noir. In other words, I think I discovered my long lost soul twin. Hoss is one of the only, if not the one and only, Icelandic winemakers on earth, (which means he's probably related to Steve Matthiasson) and he tells us about his journey from wanting to be “the hero winemaker” to a focus on just becoming a good farmer. Hoss's holistic, ecological view of fostering a healthy farm ecosystem from which the best, most interesting wine can be made, leads us from some really important discussion about the soil microbiome through to expressing terroir by making a pet-nat infused with wormwood, hyssop, and yarrow. Along the way we find out the importance of promoting a fungal-dominant soil that recreates the forest floor from which vines evolved, how he uses different trees and herbs for different purposes in and around the vines, and how his adorable miniature sheep are vital to the entire ecosystem. Fertile nuggets of information, rich with wisdom, are scattered everywhere through this interview like sheep poop in a vineyorchard. You're in for a treat.

Brennen Burkhart is a rancher, and co-owner of HTTL Farms, a small family farm located in central Nevada. According to the Burkhart's, it is in the middle of nowhere and they absolutely love it. It is a joint effort between the Burkhart and Jolley families. The Burkhart family, including Brennen's wife Joanna and their four children, have been in that valley since 2017 where all but one of their children has been born. Their goal is to build the business so that the Jolley family can eventually join the Burkhart's to live and work the land together. The farm consists of 180 acres of pasture and about 150 cows. They do  not own a tractor, and they do not raise cash crops, both conscious decisions as they strive to do their best to be good stewards of the land. Brennen and his family care for the soil and recognize it as the foundation for good human and planetary health. They strive to cultivate biodiversity by raising a wide variety of different grasses on that soil, also known as polyculture. Their cattle consume those grasses directly from the field and return the fertilizer into the soil.

  Jared Pickard and his wife Velisa are the founders of Be Here Farm + Nature, a 300 acre Nature Sanctuary and Biodynamic farm in Sonoma County CA where they grow and make a collection of very unique self care products, entirely made by hand, and all on their family farm. Jared and Valisa became interested in farming after they realized that they wanted to farm in a beyond-organic way. They had an exposure to Biodynamic Farm, and after two years of farming in Georgia and an apprenticeship at Blackberry Farm, they were prepared to start their own project.  They now have their own 300 acres farm where they grow and make a collection of unique hand-made self care products. Be Here Farm produces a variety of unique, hand-made self-care products that use all-natural ingredients. Their products include spot treatments, body oils, and scrubs that are designed to nourish and revitalize the skin.  In this podcast you will learn about:  What are the differences between conventional and organic farming? What are the challenges faced by farmers in terms of profitability? What's missing from traditional farming? The difference between a chemical support system and a natural one? The difference between "high quality" food and regular? The difference between Monoculture and Polyculture A monoculture is a crop that is grown in large quantities, usually for commercial purposes. The term can also refer to the practice of growing one type of crop in a field, or to the culture that results from it.  Monocultures are often criticized for being environmentally unsound, as they can lead to soil depletion and water pollution. They can also be more susceptible to pests and diseases than other types of crops. A polyculture is an alternative farming system in which multiple crops are grown together. This can be anything from a few different vegetables in the same garden bed to a large-scale farm with a diverse mix of crops and animals. There are many benefits to polyculture farming: It helps to mimic natural ecosystems, which are more efficient and resilient than monocultures. Growing multiple crops together can help to improve yields by providing complementary nutrition and pest control. Polyculture farms are typically more biodiverse than conventional farms, supporting a greater variety of wildlife.  The Future of Farming Jared also shared his view on the future of the farming industry: "The future of farming looks bright, with more and more people interested in learning about and participating in regenerative agriculture. This type of farming is not only environmentally sustainable but also has the potential to provide nutritious food for communities on a local level.  “In order to make this happen on a global scale, however, we need to continue to educate people about the benefits of regenerative agriculture and support those who are already practicing it."

Companion planting put simply is growing plants together that have a beneficial relationship with one another. And why is it awesome? Because we are working with mother nature rather than spraying chemicals all over her. When we work collaboratively for the mutual benefit of all the outcomes are always bigger, better and far more productive than we could have ever achieved alone. The same principles apply in the garden. When we work collaboratively with our environment we can see many benefits that go beyond what we see.

Château Cheval Blanc, Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux Comment le château Cheval Blanc prend le virage de l'écologie. Aujourd'hui, nous poursuivons notre exploration du vignoble bordelais et des questions brûlantes qui l'animent. En 2021, nous découvrons que le château Cheval Blanc (oui oui, je parle bien du mythe absolu de St Emilion) a publié un manifeste en faveur de l'agroécologie. Un joli petit livre, court et percutant qui ressemble à une formidable déclaration d'intention en faveur de l'écologie. Polyculture, agroforesterie, couverts végétaux. Tout y est. Tout pour piquer notre curiosité et nous donner envie de poser mille questions et de tout savoir sur le sujet. Alors nous avons activé nos connaissances (merci infiniment Adrien pour ton aide) et nous voilà le 30 mars 2022 au 1 Cheval Blanc 33330 St Emilion. Mi-excités, mi-anxieux à l'idée de découvrir les coulisses de ce château de légende. Nous y avons passé un généreux moment en compagnie de Pierre-Olivier Clouet, directeur technique du domaine, qui nous a ravis par son ouverture, sa franchise et sa maîtrise des sujets. On vous l'a déjà dit, Bordeaux bouge. Y compris dans les grands châteaux. Pour aller plus loin : La chaîne Youtube de Ver de terre production --> une mine d'or, des conférences, des formations autour de la vie des sols, de l'agroforesterie, de l'utilisation des haies, des couverts végétaux.

"Now, as then - we see the abstract values of an industrial economy, preying upon the native productivity of land and people. The fur trade was only the first establishment on this continent of a mentality of whose triumph is it's catastrophe. My purposes in beginning with this survey of history are:To show how deeply rooted in our past is the mentality of exploitation.To show how fundamentally revolutionary it is.To show how crucial to our history, hence to our own minds, is the question of how we will relate to our land.This question, now that the corporate revolution has so determinedly invaded the farmland returns us to our oldest crisis. "Wendell Berry - The Unsettling of AmericaWhat the quote meansWhy the quote is relevantHorticulture vs AgriculturePolyculture vs MonocultureAbundance, Diversity, and HealthQuote from "The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture" - Wendell BerrySince its publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural and spiritual discipline. Today’s agribusiness, however, takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land―from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it.Sadly, his arguments and observations are more relevant than ever. Although “this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong,” Berry writes, there are people working “to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth.” Wendell Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction.This book is as old as I am, yet the arguments and observations are more relevant than ever.What does this mean?Why is this relevant?Because it's important to understand history.While history doesn't rhyme, it sure does sound familiar at times.The show began with a quote by Wendell Berry written over 40 years ago"To show how deeply rooted in our past is the mentality of exploitation.""To show how fundamentally revolutionary it is.""To show how crucial to our history, hence to our own minds, is the question of how we will relate to our land."Horticulture vs AgricultureThe mentality of exploitation appears to be a "newer" thought - a western thought. A thought developed in a culture that rose from the roots of an agricultural society, perhaps.Polyculture vs MonocultureMonoculture of land becomes representative in the thought process of the people. Monoculture of the mind. People change.Abundance, Diversity, and HealthPermaculture is the solution. How do we lead a Permaculture based life?
