Nadat het UWV in 2018 had gezegd dat hij maar postbode moest worden, besloot Arjan Mekelenkamp samen met zijn vrouw zijn droom achterna te gaan door een voedselbos/permacultuur kwekerij met webshop te beginnen. Natuurlijk kwam die droom niet uit de lucht vallen. In dit gesprek over kornoeljes, bijen, geloof, Sepp Holzer, ADHD en steeds meer voedselbos op het land van de familie, hoor je hoe al die ingrediënten ineens op hun plek vielen en resulteerden in een bestaan dat iedereen meer geeft.

In this session I hosted a discussion on the importance of restoring proper hydrological function in a landscape and the steps to achieving it with my friends and colleagues at Climate Farmers, a non-profit organisation working to advance regenerative agriculture in Europe. In this panel I got to speak with three of the most experienced and influential educators working on this from a farming perspective. Since landscape hydrology and its proper function is often overlooked in its importance in regulating global temperature, I wanted to focus on this specifically. I was lucky enough to bring together three of the experts that have most guided my learning in this field, Zach Weiss, Nicole Masters, and Mark Shepard. Don't forget that if you want to see the video of the full event, you can check it out on the Climate Farmer's Youtube channel through the link in the show notes for this episode. Zach Weiss is the protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer, Zach is the first person to earn Holzer Practitioner certification directly from Sepp. Zach went on to create Elemental Ecosystems to provide an action-oriented process to improve clients' relationship with their landscape. Elemental Ecosystems is an ecological development, contracting, and consulting firm specializing in watershed restoration and ecosystem regeneration. The firm's work includes Aquaculture, Agroforestry, Water Retention Landscapes, Terrace Systems, Spring Development, Natural Building, and more. Mark Shepard is the CEO of Forest Agriculture Enterprises LLC, founder of Restoration Agriculture Development LLC and award-winning author of the books, Restoration Agriculture and Water for Any Farm. He is most widely known as the founder of New Forest Farm, the 106-acre perennial agricultural savanna considered by many to be one of the most ambitious sustainable agriculture projects in the United States. Nicole Masters is is an independent agroecologist, systems thinker, storyteller, educator and author of the book “For the Love of Soil.” With over 20 years of practical and theoretical experience in regenerative agriculture, she is also recognised as a knowledgeable and dynamic speaker on the topic of soil health. Her team of soil coaches at Integrity Soils work alongside producers in the U.S., Canada and across Australasia supporting producers and organisations who cover over 24 million acres, to take their landscapes to the next level in nutrient density, profitability and environmental outcomes.

Leader of Tamera's Institute for Global Peacework and storyteller behind the new documentary Water is Love Martin Winiecki explains what water wants – and how human beings can facilitate its movement and save our planet for ourselves, and other fellow species.

For our very first episode of The Soil Sisters Podcast, we had the incredible opportunity to commune with our friend Chad Johnson, a visionary in ecosystem design and a true inspiration for anyone looking to make a positive impact on the world through their relationship with nature. Our conversation explores the essence of regenerative living, the interconnectedness of all life, and the profound impact that nurturing our soil has on everything from plant nutrition to human health. Chad shares his expertise on creating living ecosystems that not only thrive on their own but also regenerate the land and soul. We delve into the importance of community, the power of dreaming big, and how anyone can start their journey towards living a more connected and regenerative life. This episode marks the beginning of our adventure, aiming to inspire you to join us in the revolution of life, love, communication, and community for a better world.

Josef "Sepp" Holzer, born July 24, 1942, in Ramingstein, State of Salzburg, Austria. sometimes referred to as "the Siberia of Austria"growing up, Sepp had to walk two hours to school everyday. along the way, he would notice the plants, animals, and insects, and how they changed during the seasons. this attention to nature would stick with him throughout the rest of his life.In Austria, it's customary to give the land to your son when he turns 19, as his father had been operating it with some health problems. So in 1962, Sepp took over the Krameterhof, the family farm, At 3,600 to 4,900 ft altitude. initially, Sepp had followed his university's methods and would spray chemicals to ensure a good harvest. but this did not work well for Sepp. he quickly ditched conventional farming and focused on learning from nature to give the land what it needs.the day after his father signed the farm over to him, Sepp had an excavator onsite to install fish ponds. people would say "you're mad! you can't install a fish pond on the side of a mountain" at first, his father was in agreement with the people. in time and as Sepp became successful, his father loved to show people the farm Sepp had built. his parents found it risky. "they're whole lives they didn't spend as much as I did in a couple of years" Sepp saidhis neighbor had cleared the land of timber, then sold the property to Sepp, making the Krameterhof a total of 111 acres. it was required of Sepp to reforest the barren acreage by forest laws, so he terraced the land and planted fruit trees. this was not acceptable in the eyes of the forestry. so Sepp removed any tags indicating that they were cherry trees, implied they were berries and they okayed the reforestation efforts.his neighbor comments about how Sepp isn't careful with the land. Let me explain. Sepp looks to see where the land can tolerate a "wound" using the excavator, but these wounds heal exceptionally fast. A large focus of these restoration efforts is putting water back into the ground.Sepp has raised pigs, wild cattle, yaks, bison, and Scottish mountain cattle. when his neighbors start doing what he does, he stops doing it to prevent competition. if someone copies him, he changes what he's doing. this way, you keep things interesting and always learning, he sayshe started planting his fruit trees at the bottom of his Austrian mountain-side property, and they thrived! so he kept terracing and planting higher and higher all the way to the edge of the property and everything is doing well. he believes it could work at even higher elevations. Sepp harvests apricots to eucalyptus, figs to kiwi fruit, peaches to wheat, just to name a few.Sepp often refers to using raised beds in his terraces, but those raised beds are much different than you're probably thinking. he's using traditional Hugelkultur, burying timber and mounding soil on top at a steep pile, oriented 90 degrees perpendicular to the wind. A method to his madness is Sepp's plant guilds, using beneficial root systems and earthworms for support. "If the plants are healthy, then the animals and humans are healthy too. and that is our foundation. whoever destroys it and treats it irresponsibly needs to be told to his face promptly, that's a crime and has no right to act that way, and he's too dumb to enjoy life"Another technique for food production at high altitudes is his use of rocks. Sepp shows off a patch of pumpkins growing around a large rock. The rock absorbs heat throughout the day and radiates it out at night to help keep frost away. this acts as a thermal battery for plants and extend the growing seasonThe name Agro Rebel, or Rebel Farmer given to Sepp comes from a comment from a professor visiting the Krameterhof in the documentary titled "The Agro Rebel" from 2001. "People say about Holzer that he is stubborn headed. Which he can also be when necessary. but that this stubborn head demonstrates such a flexibility, well, basically, he is an agro rebel. you have to be when you take such an unusual path. He isn't eligible for any of the subsidy programs. He doesn't fit into any of the schemes of the bureaucrats in charge of farming. for this reason he's forced to rebel”In 2009 Sepp Holzer left the Krameterhof in the hands of his son Josef Andreas Holzer. Since 2013 Sepp Holzer lives on his new farm - the Holzerhof farm - in the Burgenland, Austria. Sepp is currently 81 years old.Long Live Sepp HolzerSource 1, Source 2, Water Stories, Agro RebelImage Credit: au.permacultureprinciples.com

Ob Dürre, Erosion oder Starkregen: Wasser ist Deutschland nun auch ein Topthema geworden und wird es noch lange bleiben. In Portugal ist das Thema Wasserknappheit schon einige Jahrzehnte aktuell, daher hat sich die Gemeinschaft Tamera im Süden des Landes schon intensiv mit diesem Thema beschäftigt, unter anderem mit Sepp Holzer eine Seenlandschaft aufgebaut. Simone besucht in Tamera einen Permakulder, der lehrt, wie „Wasserretentionslandschaften“ aufgebaut werden können. Wasserrückhalt, also um die Schwammwirkung des Geländes geht es, die wieder gesteigert werden soll. Das was hier schon umgesetzt wird ist auch übertragbar auf Nordeuropa, auf die Altmark, auf Sieben Linden – denn wir alle haben die Frage, wie unsere Landschaften wieder reich an Wasser werden können. Und wie wie wir uns davor schützen, dass die zu erwartenden Starkregen als Fluten in die Täler rauschen. Ich spreche mit Silvano Rizzi, der seit 2014 in Tamera mit viel fachlichem Sachverstand und zwei zupackenden Händen für das Thema Agua na Terra – Wasser in die Erde eintritt. Silvano Rizzi: Silvano ist im Allgäu aufgewachsen, lebt er seit 2014 in der Friedensgemeinschaft Tamera in Portugal. Er studierte „NGO and holistic management“ und arbeitete im Entwicklungsdienst. Auf der Suche nach effektiven, regenerativen Lösungen in diesem Bereich gelangte er auch zur Permakultur. Seitdem widmet er sich dem Aufbau regenerativer Modelle, die es Menschen in Gemeinschaften ermöglichen, autark von Wasser, Energie und Nahrungsmitteln in Frieden zu leben. Einer seiner Schwerpunkte ist der Wasserkreislauf, Wasserretention und Wasserversorgung in Zeiten des Klimawandels.

WATER. To say I'm excited to bring you this conversation is an understatement. The climate change conversation at the ‘top levels' is highly corporate, pushing out so called solutions like processed fake meats, cutting down trees and covering fields with solar panels for ‘green energy' and building synthetic protein labs. Meanwhile farmers and ecological warriors are reversing desertification around the world, one project at a time, with regenerative farming transitions and water systems design. Water - we take it for granted in the cities, and feel victim to its scarcity or excess all over the world for the most part, but what if, you knew that water and they way it flows and where it goes can be one of the most powerful ways to reverse climate destabilisation? Enter Zach Weiss on this week's show to step us through it. Protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer, Zach is the first person to earn Holzer Practitioner certification directly from Sepp - through a rigorous two-year apprenticeship working on projects in North America and Europe. After 10 years of building Water Retention projects for clients around the world, Sepp said that there “needs to be hundreds or thousands of Zachs working around the world, millions would be better!” In that moment, the idea of Water Stories was born; so that any professional, land steward, or concerned citizen can have the same positive impact on their waters and lands.

Today we sit down with Zach Weiss, protege of legendary Sepp Holzer, to talk about the vital importance of rehydrating the Earth's body with “blood” (water) and how this is a growing and viable career path. Only 4-20% of global heat dynamics are regulated by carbon, and between 70 & 90% regulated by water; so why isn't restoring the water cycle central to the climate change discussion? How we treat the natural world has led us into the watershed death spiral, and we have the tools and knowledge to reverse that. (Every place in the world receives enough rain, it's just a matter of how many times that rain is used before it leaves & setting up landscape to receive the rain rather than reject it.) Restoring a healthy water cycle is the major civilizational redesign needed by humanity at this time, and Water Stories works to make it accessible & viable. There are multiple pathways to joining with this movement, including getting trained up by Zach in their core course, joining the community and sharing information and stories with others passionate about this work, creating decentralized water retention features on your own land & becoming a water advocate. We dive into all this together and I'm so excited for you to listen, learn, and act by joining the movement! Check out Water Stories here Join the Water Revolution here Water Stories Youtube Support the Podcast on Patreon Show Notes: Around the world we are either dealing with horrible drought, wildfire, flood - climatic patterns are becoming more erratic and extreme, also temperatures. This is a direct result of our previous management decisions - how we treat the natural world has led us into the watershed death spiral. Other side of spectrum: humans can have reverse impact, creating healthy abundant environments with lots of food and water when we have a different relationship with water, earth, and the natural environment. ⅓ earth's surface has been desertified in last 10,000 years - but the same powerful energy that's been used to destroy can be used for repairing and reconnecting and telling better stories. Enough people making the choice to say I want the earth to become healthier each year will turn this around. Possibility for regenerated water cycle: every place in the world receives enough rain, it's a matter of how many times that rain is used before it leaves - setting up landscape to receive the rain rather than reject it. How to start to have a neutral water footprint: DIY Infiltration features What can we do? Engage with the platform to learn about and connect with others to actively participate in water restoration, whether as a profession and as on the ground work or as an advocate, working on policy. Before & after dramatic community transformations: In India, 9 ha of ag scaled up to 650, cost of dam paid off in first year in agricultural productivity, caused reverse of migration of young people out of the village. (¼ cost of what yielded in 1 year changed permanently for better). Another india example: Revived 250k wells, reviving 7 rivers & reducing temp 2 degrees. Talking about water and how disrupting it is disturbing the climate requires us to rethink a lot of things: how we're developing places, destroyin rivers, draining wetlands - more interconnected discussion that's more complex than 1 simple problem we need to take care of. Addressing carbon isn't enough - it's lack of water and conflicts that arise from that that people will die from. And sooo much more!

What can we (as in you and I) do about climate change and our rapidly shifting landscapes?  The water cycle of our planet is being severely disturbed, from the tops of our watersheds to the river mouths feeding the oceans.  This is leading to increased drought, desertification, flooding, water scarcity, collapse of ecosystem function, disease, crop loss, etc – which, when they occur, are called “natural” disasters.  However, there is nothing natural about these disturbances; rather, it is the direct result of short-sighted land stewardship.This feedback loop is not only preventable but reversible through improved management of and cooperation with natural systems.  Decentralized water retention landscapes - returning the water to the earth that is otherwise being diverted by human development - provides a proven and effective method for enhancing the cycling of water in the landscape, reversing desertification, stabilizing climate change, and improving water availability and quality; all while increasing productivity and vitality for both humans and nature. In this presentation Zach Weiss will share both the context for the larger water-ecological issues at hand, as well as real-world stories of the solutions and approaches that can effect change and create incredible possibilities for Restoration and Regeneration. Zach Weiss - Protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer, Zach is the first person to earn Holzer Practitioner certification directly from Sepp - through a rigorous two-year apprenticeship. This led to the creation of Elemental Ecosystems to provide an action-oriented process to improve clients' relationship with their land. The firm specializes in water retention landscapes that harvest rain to create naturally productive ecosystems. Through Elemental Ecosystems Zach has worked in more than 25 different countries on 6 continents, spanning a wide range of climates, contexts, land-forms and ecosystems. After a decade of experience in the field, Zach is now creating an online educational platform called Water Stories, to bring these approaches and techniques to the masses, in order to revive the health of our planet.

Welcome to the seventh of the monthly expert panel discussions. As I mentioned before, each month I'll be hosting discussions and debates between some of the most prominent voices in regenerative agriculture, soil science, restoration land management and more. In this session I hosted a discussion on the importance of restoring proper hydrological function in a landscape and the steps to achieving it with my friends and colleagues at Climate Farmers, a non-profit organisation working to advance regenerative agriculture in Europe. In this panel I got to speak with three of the most experienced and influential educators working on this from a farming perspective. Since landscape hydrology and its proper function is often overlooked in its importance in regulating global temperature, I wanted to focus on this specifically. I was lucky enough to bring together three of the experts that have most guided my learning in this field, Zach Weiss, Nicole Masters, and Mark Shepard.Don't forget that if you want to see the video of the full event, you can check it out on the Climate Farmer's Youtube channel through the link in the show notes for this episode.

How to transform our relationship with domestic animals so we can feed everyone in the world and end the mass extinction.Episode detailsSupport the show (https://teespring.com/stores/edenicity)

Welcome back to the ongoing series on waterway regeneration. Today's interview is the second conversation I've had with Zach Weiss, the Protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer and founder of Elemental Ecosystems, a company that designs and implements water harvesting landscapes and features for clients around the world.  Zach is best known for blending a unique combination of systems thinking, empathy and awareness, in his projects.  In the last interview I did with him, which I've linked to in the show notes for this episode on the website, he introduced me to the importance of a healthy water cycle to climate regulation and how it actually plays a much larger role than just the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.  In today's session I wanted to focus more closely on a topic that I get a lot of questions about but have very little personal experience with, and that's building ponds, dams, and other water storage features on the land. Zach is an expert at this and explains the difference in how sealed and unsealed ponds can have a very different effect on the ecology even if they both hold the same amount of water. He also explains his methods and techniques for reading the landscape to determine the best placement for water features that are sometimes contradictory to simple topography. Be sure to stick around until the end where Zach gives some amazing practical advice for people who are looking to get started on installing their own water retention features and landscapes.  Before we start in with the interview I also want to give you a heads up that the next two episodes will also be deep dives into permaculture earthworks, water retention landscapes and actionable information on how to optimise your land for the best use and creation of water resources, so be sure to check out the next few weeks of episodes too.  Resources: https://www.elementalchange.world/ Elemental Ecosystems Elemental Ecosystems on Facebook Elemental Ecosystems on Youtube Zach Weiss' TEDx talk Desert or Paradise with Sepp Holzer The Flow Partnership

In this episode of Further Reflections we hear about Permaculture and life in China. In 2012 Mark gave a presentation while he was volunteering in Peru about Permaculture design principles. He touches on the works of Bill Mollison, Toby Hemenway and Sepp Holzer, discusses sustainable living and raises the issue of ethics in this interactive talk. Mark then returns to the subject of China and reflects on the years 2005-2006 when he was living for a year in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. Hear both the highs and lows of that experience, learn about travel in Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and Zhejiang and the story of the girl on the train. In the Final Five minutes Mark talks about War and Peace.

In this session I had the pleasure of speaking to the founder of “Elemental Ecosystems” Zach Weiss. Zach earned the distinction of being the first person to earn the Holzer practitioner certification from revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer through a rigorous two-year apprenticeship working alongside Sepp in North America and Europe. Zach created Elemental Ecosystems as a for-benefit social enterprise focused on solving societies growing environmental problems by considering the elemental relationship between biology and hydrology. In this interview, Zach and I start by talking about the difference between a healthy water cycle and one that's been compromised. We unpack the reasons why humans have desertified nearly one third of the earth's land and how we can begin to reverse and regenerate that process. Zach also touches on some of the steps that anyone can take, whether you live on a large farm or a small city apartment, to positively impact the water cycles in your local area, and he also shares many resources you can look into to learn more about watershed regeneration. This interview represents just the tip of the iceberg around water system regeneration and I would love to do a follow-up interview with Zach very soon, so to those of you listening to this, please write to me at info@abundantedge.com and send in the topics and questions you'd like for us to explore in greater depth when I get the chance to continue this series again.

Anhaenger der "Oesterreichischen Schule" der Finanzoekonomie, Mitglied mehrerer libertaerer Zirkel und des Mittelstand Institutes in Hannover.

Persoenliche Leidenschaften: Familie, Unabhaengigkeit und Selbstversorgung, Lesen, Kochen, Gaertnern und Permakultur, Reiten, Bogenschiessen, Messer und Axtwerfen, germanische Baerenhunde , Motorrad Fahren, Netzwerke ... Dein Pitch Ich mache all die Dinge, die mein Herz zum singen bringen weil "meine Welt" ein Spielplatz fuer grosse ( und kleine ) Jungs und Maedel ist... Womit und wie verdienst Du Dein Geld? Landerschliessung in Nova Scotia Meine "Geheimwaffe" fuer die Generierung von Umsatz in meiner Unternehmung ist, das ich die Menschen die sich an mich wenden eine kurze Zeit in meine kleine Welt eintauchen lasse. Sie teilhaben lasse an dem Gefuehl seinem Leben eine neue Richtung gegeben zu haben. Seinen Traum zu leben, "freier", unabhaengiger und "entschleunigter" zu leben als frueher .... Wie wichtig ist für Dich Geld? / Macht Geld glücklich? "Geld" ist die Uebereinkunft zweier Menschen einen bestimmten Gegenstand alks Tauschmittel zu akzeptieren. Wer weiss schon, wie und womit wir morgen "bezahlen" werden ? Geld als solches hat keinen "Wert". Es steht aktuell nur ein "Preisschild" darauf welches nichts darueber aussagt, was wir morgen dafuer an realen Dingen erwerben koennen. Alle wirklich "Wert" "voll"en Dinge im Leben haben keinen Preis. Ich sag es mal so: Mein Ziel ist es nicht immer mehr Geld zur Verfuegung zu haben, sondern mit immer weniger davon gluecklich leben zu koennen. Geld selber macht nicht gluecklich. Es mag die meisten Menschen beruhigen wenn sie glauben, ausreichend davon zu besitzen. Wenn du den wahren Charakter eines Menschen erkennen willst, gib ihm Macht und Geld. Grundsaetzlich ist "Geld" erstmal nichts schlimmes oder verwerfliches, solange ich es nicht zu meinem "Gott" erklaere und es mein einziger Antrieb im Leben wird. Nachhaltig und Sinn - voll eingesetzt ist es durchaus hilfreich. Was war Dein schlimmster Moment als Investor? Nun, ein sehr praegendes Ereignis war sicher meine eigene Fehlinvestition bei meinem ersten Gehversuch hier in Canada. Ich wollte von einem lokalen Anbieter ein Grundstueck erwerben ohne vorab ausreichend Informationen darueber zu haben. Mir fehlte im Grunde die Erfahrung fuer diesen Schritt und als mir das klar wurde sprach ich mit dem Verkaeufer ueber eine Stornierung meiner Kaufabsicht und die moegliche Rueckerstattung meiner fuenfstelligen Anzahlung. Dem hat der Verkaeufer nicht entsprochen und ich habe ordentlich Lehrgeld bezahlt. Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Nachhaltig betrachtet war aber genau dieses Ereignis der Ausloeser dafuer mich in die Thematik Landerschliessung vor Ort so gut und intensiv ein zu arbeiten, das ich anschliessend meine eigene Landerschliessungsfirma gegruendet habe. Also war es rueckblickend betrachtet gar kein Fehlinvestmen sondern eher eine besondere Art von "Startgeld" in mein neues Leben. Wenn man unter Investition auch die richtige Auswahl der Menschn betrachtet, mit denen man sich gemeinsam positiv weiter entwickeln kann, so habe ich auch hier Lehrgeld gezahlt und erachte den Bereich "Menschenkenntnis" als staendige und wichtige Herausforderung an der ich immer wieder wachsen darf. Wie hast Du es geschafft, Deine Leidenschaft zu finden? Mein Antrieb war es, meinem Leben eine neue Richtung zu geben und es zu entschleunigen. Ich wollte mehr die Dinge tun die mein Herz wirklich bewegen. Weniger Schreibtisch Arbeit, Termindruck, dem "Fluch der staendigen Erreichbarkeit" entfliehen. Ich wollte eher wieder Klaus Stoertebecker, Robin Hood und Old Shatterhand sein und in meiner eigenen Welt in mitten der Natur leben koennen. All dem Wahnsinn der mich frueher fremdbeschleunigt hat hinter mir lassen. Mich auf mein Pferd setzen koennen wenn ich mag, mit den Hunden durch den Wald spazieren, Bogenschiessen, Messer und Axt werfen, im Garten rumbuddeln und Obstbaeume pflanzen, Brot im Holzbackofen backen, meine eigenen Lebensmittel essen koennen, mit meinen beiden Jungs Trecker und Bagger fahren etc. versteht ihr was ich meine ?! Wie triffst Du Entscheidungen? Ich habe das Glueck einige wenige gute Freunde zu haben die in verschiedenen Bereichen ueber mehr Lebenserfahrung verfuegen als ich. Bei wichtigen Entscheidungen hole ich ganz gerne den Rat dieser Menschen ein, denke darueber nach, bespreche das mit meiner Frau und fuehle dann in mich hinein. Das beruehmte Bauchgefuehl... Wie bekommst Du Deinen „inneren Schweinehund“ in den Griff? Dieses Tierchen treffe ich ausgesprochen selten an. Da ich die zu erledigenden Aufgaben in der Regel sehr gerne mache ist das nicht wirklich ein Thema. Verabschiedung Tue das, was du zu tun liebst.

Start with water, your most valuable form of capital, and retain as much of it as possible on the property in order to rehydrate the landscape. We can use efficient landscape design to control the flow of water to slow it, spread it, and sink it allowing the water to infiltrate into the soil, giving the plants water to do their work. Then nature will start building soil and creating microclimates and shade. But none of that will happen without water. Zach Weiss an ecological landscape designer from Montana and a student of Sepp Holzer joins me to talk about creating a water retention landscape. In this episode we will talk more about what he has learned from Sepp and get more into his own ideas on how water retention can have a dramatic effect on the landscape. We touch on everything from building ponds and sealing ponds to catchment used to feed dams to the three zones of any body of water. An episode for designers and homesteaders alike.

I am joined this week by Paul Wheaton. Paul Wheaton is the host of the largest permaculture website in the world, www.richsoil.com This episode is filled with useful tips from the permacultural front. During the podcast, Paul talked about his lawn care philosophies, permaculture and diatomaceous earth. He gives a quick overview of his articles on ants and aphids, Sepp Holzer, hugelkultur and flea control In addition to the helpful info you will acquire by listening to this podcast, listeners may also be thrilled by the amount of chops-busting and hard-times that Paul and I gave each other. I don't know how that happened, it just seemed natural for both of us to take playful jabs at one another. We actually got along famously... I think. Like most of my guests, Paul is a guest I will have to have back on in the future. I was fascinated by the seminars he hosts that highlight how a permaculturist can make $200,000 by working the land and his/her livestock properly. Amen to that!
