We snuck a bonus episode into season 3 - and what a cracker it is. We're chatting to Diego Bonetto, aka The Weedy One. Born in Italy, Diego grew up foraging for dandelion, wild asparagus and mushrooms. It wasn't actually foraging as such, it was just how you lived. Since moving to Australia, Diego has taken foraging and edible weeds on as his career, educating and showing people how we're surrounded by abundant food and medicine, much of it growing on in our backyards, or the cracks of the pavement.  Diego lives and forages on the lands of the Eora, Dharug, Wiradjuri and Gandangara people.  Check out his amazing range of workshops - treat yourself or a friend (or both go!) Before we get to Diego, we're drinking a Dandelion Margarita and talking about nettle, Phoenix Creations, fermented garlic, Birchs Bay Art Farm, Mewstone and making your own Christmas wreaths.  Recommendations: Emily's loving all things Kunzea including this Kunzea Jelly  - use it like quince paste Madeleine is planning Christmas dessert from Nadine Ingram's new book Love Crumbs and Emily has bought her daughter Easy Peasy: Gardening for Kids by Kristen Bradley of Milkwood Permaculture.  Follow us on Instagram here.

Are there trade-offs or limitations we should consider? To help us explore these questions and unpack the myths and realities of sustainable catering, I'm thrilled to be joined by Sebastian, the operations director at Purslane—a catering company dedicated to making events both delicious and eco-friendly.

My guest this episode is the super-talented and creative gardener and designer Brent Purtell and we're talking about the Capitaspring Rooftop Garden in Singapore, which shares the ‘2nd highest' building ranking along with 3 other buildings, all the same height. There are 3 gardens on the building, covering an area of 10,000 square metres and containing a mixture of ornamentals and edibles, all growing at dizzying heights. Brent was involved on the build and design side before setting up his own one man company up and taking over the maintenance of Capitaspring Rooftop Garden. sonal Guide and she starts by talking about the origins of her almanac. Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Stinky pigs What We Talk About What is the Capitaspring Rooftop Garden and where is it located? How much growing space is there in total? The kind of things which grow in the garden How productive a rooftop edible can forest be How the produce is used The challenges of growing edibles on a rooftop Who visits the garden?  About the Capitaspring Building & Gardens The Capitaspring building was completed in early 2022. At 280m high, it shares the ‘2nd highest' building ranking along with 3 other buildings, all the same height. This is due to Singapore having a cap of 280m on any new building. It's owned by Capitaland, a major property developer in Singapore and the region. Designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, and Carlo Ratti, it is very much a flagship building for the company and Singapore in general, with the relatively unique use of planting throughout the building. Current tenants are the big investment house JPMorgan, for example.  An article about the building Within the tower are three restaurants. These are: ‘Sol and Luna' on level 17 - a casual latin inspired theme ‘Kaarla' on level 51 - Fine dining coastal Australian ‘Oumi' on level 51 - Fine dining Japanese Originally there was no concept of a ‘food forest' or similar from the architects, and indeed, the chef's garden only takes up 50% of the overall rooftop space, with the other 50% planted in typical ornamental, low maintenance fashion. Rather, the addition of the edible section came from 1 Group, who reached out to a local company, Edible Garden City Pte Ltd to help with the design and installation. www.ediblegardencity.com Edible Garden City was started in 2012 with the aim of ‘helping Singaporeans grow their own food'. It has 3 pillars to the business, one being food production at 2 ‘urban farms', which supplies produce to many restaurants through the city, including many Michelin starred. The second pillar is education, which runs workshops for the public at the aforementioned urban farm, along with onsite workshops for teachers in schools across the city. Thirdly, they design and build edible gardens, with over 260 built to date. The majority of these are gardens built within schools so that the students have access to a working garden, however many gardens have been built for commercial/hospitality venues, including the famous ParkRoyal Hotel, Marina Bay Sands etc. The remaining founder Bjorn Low, is a very recognised figure within Singapore for his environmental efforts. The garden was opened in Feb/march 2022 and so is still quite new and produces approx 70 - 80 kgs of produce a month. For example, here is a breakdown for October: Apple mint 200gm Brazilian Spinach 19.6kg Fame Flower 1kg Lemon Balm 800gm Lemon Myrtle 1.5kg Moringa leaves 10gm Kaarla Salad mix 12kg Purslane 3.1kg Rosemary 280gm Thyme 50gm Wasabina Mustard 1.5kg Wild Water Cress 15.5kg Mizuna Mustard 1.5kg Komatsuna 1kg Oyster Leaf 500gm Wild Pepper 500gm Pumpkin x 3 Edible flowers 2kg And here are a few of the ways the kitchen use them all: KAARLA CLOSED LOOP SALAD - ROOF TOP LEAVES AND FLOWERS, TIGER NUT CURD, DAIKON WESTERN PRAWNS, GERALDTON WAX, NATIVE TAMARIND ARDEN GROWN TIGER NUT ICE CREAM, TIGERNUT NOUGATINE, WHITE CHITOSE CORN, CALAMANSI JELLY, POACHED ORANGES AUSTRALIAN MARKET OYSTER, FIG LEAF AND OYSTER PLANT VINEGAR 8PP SESAME CRUST TUNA SERVED WITH WOOD-FIRED PADRON PEPPER, LEMON MYRTLE DRESSING LOBSTER DONABE - Garden Komatsuna, Tofu, Shungiku, Chestnut, Mitsuba, Seafood Dashi KOHITSUJI YAKI - Grilled Australian Lamb, Red Garlic Sauce, Lemon Myrtle, Lemon Balm, Calamansi, Satsumaimo UNI IKURA - Sea Urchin, Salmon Roe, Wasabina, Yuzu CHIRASHI Sashimi Of The Day, Daily Produce From Our Food Forest BUTA KAKUNI - Braised Australian Pork Belly, Fresh Yuzu, Fame Flower, Eringii, Egg Yolk, Mountain Caviar SHIO KOJI TEPPAN CHICKEN - Free-Range Chicken , Sansho Koji, Garlic Flower, Curry Leaf The ‘Kaarla closed loop salad' in particular is popular as a signature dish.  Links www.1-group.sg www.kaarla-oumi.sg/kaarla Other episodes if you liked this one: Food Forest in Your Garden Food Forests for Plant Lovers Patreon Membership

Although most of our modern medical remedies are made in labs and factories, the origins of medicine are deeply connected to natural herbs. This week on the Curious women podcast, we have an amazing guest who passionately explores the healing capabilities of herbs.

She has since achieved many certifications in related fields and now loves helping women with their adrenal health and gut issues through Nutritional Therapy and clean living. She also teaches online workshops regularly covering a variety of herbal and nutritional topics. Originally from Texas, Lindsay now resides in Western Colorado with her husband and their two dogs.

Gentian line is one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy - one of the 'lines' of clones (called shatterlings) who have been traveling the galaxy since the start of the star-faring era six million years ago. The shatterlings of Gentian line travel alone, but they come together for a reunion every 200,000 years to compare what they have seen on their latest circuit around the galaxy.Campian and Purslane are two shatterlings who have fallen in love and are traveling together against the rules of the line. They are running late to the upcoming reunion when they get a terrifying message - someone has attacked the reunion and killed almost all of the Gentians. Now it is up to them to determine who, or what, their enemy is before the entire line is wiped out.This is a book that succeeds because of its incredible world building and engrossing plot. You are slowly but steadily introduced to new mind-bending concepts and mysteries, and learning the answers to those questions over the course of the book is a real pleasure. The scientific concepts and technologies that power the world (which are all rooted in real science) are also incredibly fun to explore, and are one of Reynolds strong suits - perhaps not surprising for a writer with a PhD in astrophysics.That said, if you are looking for dialogue-driven writing or unforgettable characters, this might not be the book for your current moment. It also slows down a bit in the middle of the book, but the final quarter picks up the pace again, and is propulsive, gripping, and answers all the big questions in very satisfying ways. This is a stand-alone novel, which is somewhat rare for space operas. If you want to enjoy a big, galactic adventure without the commitment of a long series, this is definitely up your alley.As always, we also recommend and discuss some similar books if you are looking for more great books to read. This week we recommend:Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge,The Culture series by Iain BanksAnd Hyperion by Dan Simmons If you'd prefer to watch the video version, you can find it at this link.

We really need to strike down any mention of cannabis in our laws and regulations in this country! As well as any other plant. We need to strike them from the law books! #Purslane is one of those illegal plants in Arizona, Banned, outlawed, even though it is a super food!! And there is absofuckalutely no reason to ban it! Y'all need to demand the state legislature re-examine laws regarding plants in Arizona. Many of them seem to have no rhyme or reason, and even prevent us from growing, cultivating, and sharing foods that grow naturally in our backyards! I learned from Mr Trump's example, NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT, even when you were f****** trounced! lol

Segment 2 Not all weeds are bad weeds 1. Weeds can host bad bugs in your garden. 2. Some weeds are edible But you must be sure we are not responsible for mis ideafations Dandelion. ... Purslane. ... Clover. ... Lamb's Quarters. ... Plantain. ... Chickweed. ... Mallow. ... Wild Amaranth. Weds protect essential top soil from being washed or blown away. Bringing Up Nutrients and Water: Dandelions, prickly lettuce, spiny sow thistle, wild amaranths, cockleburs, nightshades and Queen Anne’s lace are examples of weeds that have very strong roots that go deep into the ground. Weeds with deep taproots can benefit a garden by breaking up hard soil and bring up nutrients from the areas that most plants are unable to reach. If the weeds are composted or turned into the soil, the nutrients that they have absorbed will be distributed for other plants to use. As well, moisture is also wicked upwards outside of the roots for other plants to benefit from. Weeds like Mugwort may also be helpful in absorbing heavy metals from the ground, stopping erosion and adding nutrients to soil. Attracting Beneficial Insects and Luring Away Pests: Certain repellent weeds such as dandelions, cockleburs and goldenrod can help to deter pests such as army worms. As well, other weeds including Lamb’s-quarters and Rosa multiflora will help protect your garden by luring away insects such as leaf miners and Japanese beetles that might otherwise feed on your plants. Pennycress and dandelions are also great weeds for attracting beneficial insects. Clover is a common weed that can be used to attract earthworms and also to lure away pests such as rabbits. In addition, certain weeds such as Queen Anne’s lace, goldenrod, evening primrose, wild mustard, amaranth and dandelions will help to attract beneficial insects that will feed on and eliminate the harmful ones. So, next time you go to weed your garden take a closer look and remember not all weeds are bad! https://www.absorbentproductsltd.com/not-all-weeds-are-bad-your-guide-to-reaping-the-benefits-of-good-weeds-in-the-garden/ Weeds are aggressive and will take over your garden and choke out your vegetables and you may not want to or can dig them up you can use weed dragon or mini dragon from flame engineering use twvg 19 at check out to get free shipping Or Bio safe weeds killer for organic gardens Save 10% on your next order use coupon code TWVG at checkout.

Her passion for environmental education led to creating Zero Waste programs and other sustainability projects for corporations, cities, and municipalities in Southern California. What is adventures in waste? We always hear - reduce, reuse, and recycle - are these all good methods in reducing waste? Is one better than the other? A lot of people think recycling isnt as environmentally efficient as we think it is - and could be going straight to the landfill even if we put it in the recycle bin - is there any truth to that? Why is it important for us to think about where our waste goes and waste reduction? Lets talk about the numbers on recyclables - are all recyclables equal? For example, is a 3 the same in all the same types of plastic? How can we find out more about you? Garden questions 2. Q: I have a pineapple plant going on two years old. Should I plant it in the ground, in hopes that it will flower? 3. With my straw bale garden I am also wondering if I should water all the plants every day. I had always thought peppers needed less water but wondered if the answer was different with straw bale gardens. 4. Can I eat rhubarb when it has flowered? 5. over fertilization what to do now.

The DimWits turn to nutrition, side-walk super foods like Purslane, Iodine Deficiency, and the history of water fluoridation. This subject of "precious bodies fluids" brings up a memory of a film by Stanley Kubrick called "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964). Clicks from that movie great you in the opening segment of this episode.

Dan hits the Waverly farmer's market in Baltimore with restaurateur and Chesapeake cookbook author John Shields. The market, on 32d Street, is open every Saturday of the year, and Shields has been a shopper -- for his Gertrude's restaurant and for his kitchen at home -- for more than two decades. In this episode: Joan Norman of One Straw Farm, talks about the affect of all the spring and summer rain on the 2018 growing season; street performer Merdalf sings, ----The Wind Cries Mary,---- Len and Kelsey Louthan, father-and-daughter distillers, offer a sample of their Montebello Bourbon; and Purslane, the edible and super-nutriotius weed that grows everywhere, from city sidewalks to farm fields, makes a surprise appearance next to the Russian kale and Swiss chard.

We visit the open air, wood-fired kitchen of Deckman's, and talk to Chef-owner Drew Deckman about connecting with local producers. He shows us how he prepares Grilled Whole Sardines with Cabbage and Smoked Tomatoes. Deckman's Grilled Quail with Black Beans, Pickled Radish, Purslane, Chorizo and Pumpkin Seed Powder and Pipian Sauce has become the restaurant's signature dish. Lastly, he shows us   one of his favorite dishes: Striped Bass with Asparagus, Tomatoes, Fried Espazote, Clams, and Birria Sauce.

It's a wild world out there—for food. An avid forager, home cook, and garden designer, Marie has enjoyed gathering edibles from the wild since her childhood in South Africa. Incorporating wild herbs, berries and greens from the field was a natural extension of everyday cooking, as she was taught by her mother. Now, Marie has become an expert on foraging in the US, writing articles on the topic and publishing her second book, a comprehensive manual on commonly found wild edibles and recipes to use with them. From creating your own blend of herbs for vermouth to making a simple salad of purslane, she shares her homespun secrets and advice for both novices and experienced foragers.

They still experiment with new recipes, help others set up in-house or farmstead “fermentories”, teach classes at their farm and host small farm workshops. 1.What is the basis of fermentation and benefits fermentation has to our body? 2.Whats the difference of something like beer or wine vs lacto fermentation? 3. We know kraut as made with cabbage – can kraut be made with other vegetables? 4.It seems like a lot of people are getting into home fermentation – why do you think that is? 5.Anything a new home fermenter needs to be majorly aware of?

Real age—your biological age—has little to do with how old you are in years. Most people age prematurely. This is avoidable. It is also reversible. Some of the reasons I have such a passion for herbs is: when you know what to use, they can slow biological aging, help restore balance, and improve how you look and feel, as well as how your body functions. Combined with regular detoxification and a natural diet low in carbohydrates and sugars but high in a wide variety of fresh vegetables and top-quality protein, herbs can rejuvenate your body in medically measurable ways: better circulation, increased resistance to illness as well as balancing emotions and bringing clarity. They also help you rediscover innate vitality, whatever your chronological age. Each herb and plant works in its own special way. Some, like ginseng, garlic, and gotu kola are specifically anti-ageing in their actions. Others such as purslane and thyme together with foods like seaweeds, oranges, carrots, and green vegetables—are brimming with anti-oxidants and other phyto-chemicals. These are protective to your whole body as well as immune enhancing. They will help protect you from free radical damage that underlies both premature aging and the development of degenerative diseases.   Here are my favorite anti-ageing herbs: Gotu Kola—Centella asiatica—has been used for centuries in India to extend life span and enhance memory. Gotu kola, like many quality bulk herbs, is native to the tropical regions of Asia and Africa, particularly Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Traditionally, its leaves are dried and steeped in order to create a tea or infusion. Gotu kola is also easy to grow in your garden or in a pot in the kitchen window. It’s also easy to introduce into your life. Just add a fresh leaf or two or a teaspoon of dried gotu kola to whatever herb tea you are drinking. You can also put a few leaves into salad when you make it. Nori Seaweed—If you have never used sea vegetables for cooking, you have a wonderful discovery ahead of you. Not only are they delicious—imparting a wonderful, spicy flavor to soups and salads—they are the richest source of organic mineral salts in nature, particularly iodine. Iodine is the mineral needed by your thyroid gland. As your thyroid gland is largely responsible for the body’s metabolic rate, iodine is essential for vitality as well as protecting you from early aging. I like to use powdered seaweeds as a seasoning. It adds flavor and minerals to salad dressings, salads, and soups. Personally I’m excessively fond of nori seaweed, which comes in long thin sheets or tiny flakes. It is a delicious snack food that you can eat along with a salad or at the beginning of the meal. It has a beautiful, crisp flavor. I toast sheets of nori by passing it over a hob flame for no more than a few seconds. This brings out its wonderful flavor and turns it crunchy. The only problem I have with toasting nori is that one of my Burmese cats, Gus, is completely addicted to it. This means there is no peace while I’m making it. He can smell nori from far away, even when the kitchen door is closed. As soon as I open it, he devours a couple of big sheets that I have crumbled into tiny pieces for him. Green Barley—This is a dried form of the natural juice taken from young barley leaves. It must be to be organically grown, GMO free, and pesticide free. Rich in proteins, flavonoids, minerals, including iron, and vitamins such as K and B15, as well as chlorophyll and other nutrients, green barley boasts thousands of enzymes, not all of which are destroyed in the digestive process. Enzymes play important roles in anti-aging metabolic processes. It also contains a high concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD)—an anti-oxidant enzyme. Sprinkle from 1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon of green barley on to salads or mix into juices, miso broth or water. Purslane—Portulaca oleracea brims with anti-oxidants as well as vitamins known for their abilities to quench excess free radicals in the body. Purslane improves immune functioning. You can grow purslane in a vegetable patch or just about anywhere—even in window boxes, between the rose bushes, or wherever you have an extra bit of space. Add purslane to fresh vegetable juices or put it through a blender to make ‘live’ vegetable drinks.   Ginkgo Biloba—improves circulation to your brain.  European research confirms this. The leaves from this most ancient of trees restore memory, elevate mood, and quell anxiety. There are more than 300 published studies and reports that support the anti-ageing properties of Ginkgo. Its extract is used in Germany to treat everything from depression and cerebrovascular insufficiency to asthma, transplant rejection, and hearing loss. It is even added to expensive skin products to protect against environmental irritation. You can take ginkgo as an extract, tincture, or in capsules. I prefer a high potency herbal tincture—1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon 2 or 3 times a day. Horsetail—Equisetum arvense is the best natural source of the mineral silicon, which declines in your body after 35. Silicon is essential for you to maintain strong bones, prevent osteoporosis, firm your skin, and protect it from wrinkles and sagging. Horsetail is one of the world’s oldest plants. Organic horsetail tea is the best way to take this wonderful plant several cups a day. My favorite brand is organic, of course, and sells for less than US $12 a pound. Make a friend of these herbs, use them daily, and you will be surprised at how much they can help protect you from early aging.
