It's just amazing. So go ahead and tell us a little bit about yourself.In love with peopleYeah, so I it's funny. It was when I was a kid, I, you know, enjoy nature and played in my mom's gardens, but I had never thought that I would actually work later in life in some sort of profession, some capacity around flowers. So I feel really lucky. I started out, let's see, I studied sociology. So I was just like in love with people.And when I graduated college, I was searching for how would I help people reach their full potential? And I started studying natural remedies and I learned that while I ran into a teacher or an expert in flower essences from Madrid, Spain, and I just sort of fell in love because I mean, I love all things, plant medicine, like herbs and tinctures and teas and essential oils, but this was like a whole new concept for me.Flower Essences Expert TeacherAnd he was teaching about how every flower on the planet has a really specific, you know, thing that it does like action that it does for our emotional mental States. And that, you know, the thing Jackie, that he said that really got me was he said, if, if 3% of the world's population were actively taking these flower essences, it would create so much positivity through the ripple effect that it would change the outcome of the

Come next, February and March, when it's time to order supplies or do your design, you know, what are your favorite seeds or what do you want to play more of?Do you want more broccoli? Like you might think I'm never going to forget this, but you probably are going to forget it. And a great way to support the green organic gardener podcast would be to get our garden journal. That's got a beautiful butterfly that I took a picture of on our lilac. So it's like a little part of our home in your home has got blank pages and line pages, and it would really support us a lot.

I'm in Southeastern Virginia and I am an urban flower farmer.My little three acre farm is right in the middle of the city. Literally I'm surrounded by 200,000 residents and my place.

And, you know, I started farming in 1998, like so many other people after reading Lynn Byczynski's book, the Flower Farmer and just hit the ground running because I'm such a follower, meaning I really followed her instructions. I think it helped me to be successful right out of the gate.And when you're successful out of the gate, it helps you just to keep on going after it, you know, not everybody is like us, Jackie, where you were...

Hey everyone, I just a quick in between interviews post today, an email from Rodale's, a giveaway opportunity from Earth Kind Podcast and a SHORT update on our garden.GIVEAWAY LINK: https://www.awesomeearthkind.com/contestsStay safe and let's get growing!Jackie :-)As the world reopens, a threat to our health still looms. What we eat, and how we grow it, is critical to maintaining our health as we seek to recover from a global pandemic.By Jeff Moyer, Rodale Institute CEOThe world is slowly reopening—but the COVID-19 crisis isn’t over, and everyone still has concerns. While in many areas, the number of cases is decreasing, our health will remain in danger until we make a major change and paradigm shift. That change is closer than you might think. It’s in your kitchen, your backyard garden, and at the farmers market you visit every weekend.The solution is our soil and in our food. What we eat is critical to protecting our health, and our broken food system needs an overhaul....The coronavirus pandemic has focused the spotlight on the importance of health, immunity, and disease prevention. We watched as our medical systems became inundated with patients, while feeling helpless to support our own health in the face of an invisible threat.As we return to a new normal, it is imperative that we stay vigilant about maintaining our health. Sales of organic food rose 22 percent in March, 18 percent in April, and 16 percent in May as consumers looked for ways to boost their immune systems. We cannot return to our industrial, chemical food system as...

Listen to the Awesome Earth Kind Podcast on iTunes or your favorite podcast app.https://www.awesomeearthkind.com/My Garden JournalWelcome to the GREEN Organic Garden Podcast. It is Saturday, July 18, 2020. And I have an awesome guest here. He's not a gardener, but I think you're going to love his message and he has a new podcast. And if you heard my rant yesterday, you know, I'm like doubling down on podcasting and I'm just showing the connecting with other podcasters.And I feel like if you're a listener, you're probably interested in connecting with other podcasters and learning about other great new shows. So here to talk to us today is Ron Kamen from the Awesome EarthKind Podcast. Welcome to the show, Ron.It's great to be here, Jackie. Thanks so much.All right. Well tell us about you and your new show and whatever you want to tell us.Well, thank you so much. It's a little different from your normal shows. I've, I've had the pleasure of listening to a couple of them and you know, your folks are really involved in the interconnectedness of life and in particular in growing and the abundance that naturally surrounds us when we are in tune with nature. And it's great and it's wonderful and it's, it's so fantastic!As a civilization, you know, we've kind of gotten away from a lot of different things. And one of the things that my career and my, my, my whole life work has been focused on is energy. And the reason for that is because we need energy to survive as a civilization, it powers everything we do.Energy powers everything we do.It's powering this podcast.It's powering the devices that people are listening to. It's our computers, it's our cars, it's our heating systems. It's our air conditioning systems. It's basically everything that's involved with. Civilization is really centered on energy. And most of that energy today comes from fossil fuels.And those fossil fuels, as we know, are now saturating our environment to the point where we're getting to the point where extreme weather events are happening because we've disrupted so many natural systems.And the question is, okay, so we all know where we are, the 7 billion of us.Do we want civilization to collapse and just go back to the land, which you know, is a possibility?But I don't think that's a really good option for the vast majority of 7 billion people. There are a few that might survive, but who really wants to go through that and see 99% of people just, you know, not survive and we can't survive as a civilization unless we make the transition to clean energy.And I've been involved in energy and the environment for boy over three decades, I've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with all sorts of people in all different forms, everything from communities to governments and businesses and nonprofits, and working with people on taking the next step to have clean energy and to make this transition that we have to make.If we want to survive as a society, you know, we're all in the midst and still getting through this...

 My Garden JournalWelcome to the GREEN Organic Garden podcast. It is Saturday, July 18, 2020, and I have an amazing guest on the line. You have to check out their website is so beautiful and just full of lots of great stuff. And here to share with us today from B L H Farm is Matt Arthur. You can find BLH Farm on Facebook here.So welcome to the show, Matt.Hi, Jackie.And we'll talk, I mean, I want to ask you about yourself, but I really want to know what B L H stands for.1 (1m 41s):Yeah, so it stands for Boone's Lake Heritage Farm. I grew up in central, Missouri on a family farm. It still had the wagon ruts from Daniel Boone's trail West from Missouri through to the Southwest. So I grew up playing on a Creek and in the field with those wagon trails so visable.So we started our flower farm now on some of our land that wasn't being used for row crops. I wanted to let everybody know that this is just a real part of our, our history here is seeing these, this trail and thinking about people who came before us.So how, so this is your family farm. So, you know, I guess if you said you listened to my podcast, that my first question is always about, like, what was your first gardening experience? Like, what'd you grow? Who were you with? I guess you were probably with your mom and dad?1 (2m 32s):Yeah, yeah. With my mom, mainly we always had an orchard and a garden and always had tomatoes and beans and apples and other stuff going. So I just have always grown flowers and vegetables at the house. And my mom grew a lot of things that her mom grew. And so I just always looked back and think about growing, you know, the flowers that she got from her mom or apples that she was trying out and I've always done it.And is that how you learned how to grow organically? Were they organic too?Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. My parents for our vegetable garden and an orchard, I've always been a hundred percent chemical free, a hundred percent organic, always heavy mulchers never, never spray for anything and, and always grew up just knowing that that was how, how one should farm and garden. Well, awesome. So do you have any tips? Like I was just going through all the questions I've been asked in the Facebook group and somebody was asking about what do I do about apple scab, and just like any tips for growing an orchard? Our orchard. The other problem we're having is the grass is full of this weird bind weed, which is totally irrelevant.Bind weeds tough. Yeah. Bind weeds tough. I mean, I've two quick pieces of advice.The first is that the, in the rows between your apple trees, you need to have a mix of species that you choose. A, you should have a grass, you should have a legume and then a forb to take the place of, of those weeds. Weeds...

So listeners like I've been like jonesing for some good podcasts. Listen to this winner like at that kind of has changed lately. Cause I think I've been to over a thousand podcasts websites in the last month working for this new podcast or I'm just doing research, trying to find podcasts where she would be a good fit as a guest. And it's just been fascinating, but even still out of like the thousand websites, I've only found, I think four that I've actually added to my phone and less than a dozen that I've checked out and been like, Oh, this might be good.&nbsp;Jackie Marie Beyer (9m 39s):So I am excited. I am been thinking, I wish more people would share more podcasts. Like people that I listen to would share more. So the Wellness Farmer, I know listeners are going to love that.Ben Page (9m 53s):Yeah, that's what I tried. I mean, it's more of a wellness farmer&nbsp;at the moment. But at the, when I started the podcast, I was a farmer. I actually raised a meat on pasture. So chicken, sorry, chicken on pasture. And that's why that's where the podcast kind of got its name.Jackie Marie Beyer (10m 10s):Well, do you want to tell us about that or I want to kind of hear a little bit about that was that down. So you're in Argentina. Was that down in Argentina or like where was that?Ben Page (10m 21s):And that was before we came to Argentina, we opened, so I was working with a chiropractor for about five years and then I've left and opened my own clinic. And at the same time I started a farming enterprise. And what I did is I raised chickens on pasture in a place in Southern Utah. And that's where I was raising the chicken on pasture and at the very end imagining.<img...

DeerBusters Jennifer Smith is here to tell us how code "fences" can save us 10% when we solve one of the biggest garden challenges there is especially in 2020!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intro (2s):Welcome to the Green Organic Garden Podcast. It is Friday, July 10, 2020. It's my mom and dad's anniversary. If my dad was still alive, I think he'd be married for probably 55 years, something like that. And I am excited because I have a guest who's back in the line to talk to us about something that when I went to Free the Seeds of this year, do you number one out of 40 people? I talked to you. I think 36 of them said the biggest challenge they have for growing their garden is deer and keeping the critters out.&nbsp;My Garden JournalJoin us on the Listen App using invite code: GREENJackie Marie Beyer (39s):And that's certainly like something that people talk about a lot. So we have somebody here with a solution. I think she even has a 10% discount for GREEN organic garden podcast listeners. So I'm here from deer busters is Jennifer Smith. So welcome back, Jennifer.Jennifer Smith (57s):Thank you. It's glad to be back.Jackie Marie Beyer (60s):Hey, did you know that I found this podcast? So I'm working for this podcaster and one of my jobs is to like find shows that he be really good guest on, and there's actually a show that's called. I think it's Patient Zero. That's all about Lyme disease.Jennifer Smith (1m 16s): I have not heard of that.Jackie Marie Beyer (1m 18s):It was listed as Apple, one of Apple's top podcasts in 2019. So I'm really curious to check it out because it has to be more than just basic science and stuff. Like I don't know what it's about, but anyway, we're here to talk about what we can do to protect our gardens, that we work so hard to grow from the deer that are beautiful and lovely.And I love to see deer in my yard. I just don't want to see them eating my flowers and vegetables.[caption id="attachment_137102" align="alignnone" width="768"] Mike built these little tents that worked for years back in the beginning. Look at that lawn, boy we've come a long way. But really in the beginning these two bed provided a lot of food.[/caption]Jennifer Smith (1m 42s):There are graceful animals. We love them. It's a love, hate relationship rally, and there are beautiful from afar, but the minute they start eating our plants, AKA our hard work. Then we don't like them so much and we need to humanely get rid of Bambi and his friends and I have the solution to make it happen. So what I recommend is growers need to look into installing an deer offense.Jennifer Smith (2m 16s):It is the most reliable means for deer management[gallery ids="137099,137100,137101" type="rectangular"]But then they got serious. We have over 260' of fence around the house and another 260' around the minifarm. It's essential!But there are a number of factors to consider such as other animals that are destroying the...

&nbsp;Books Tori Recommends:When Affirmative Action Was White: An Untold History of Racial Inequality in Twentieth-Century America by Ira KatznelsonDying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartlandby Jonathan MetzlLinks we mention:https://acestoohigh.com/got-your-ace-score/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ovIJ3dsNkI'm Tori Williams, Douglas and I am a writer and anti racism educator. I actually grew up in, was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. That's where I live now. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest, my entire life, mainly in Portland and Seattle. And yeah, I didn't really, I kind of came to this work. I sort of fell into it.A lot of, a lot of different things sort of brought me to this place. But I mean initially like, gosh, there's so many, there's so many places I could go. Did you go to Portland State University to their conflict resolution program. Like, do you know that they have a program there? I applied to go there and then I could never come up with the funding. And it's really hard to find a job in Portland. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It is so hard to find a job here. I hear that for sure. You can't even be a substitute teacher without a master's degree or at least that's what they told me. I don't know That, that, that sounds right. No, I did not. I have not attended that program. I've heard about it. And I think that like, conceptually, it seems really good. I have a lot of friends, obviously you've gotten to Portland State, so yeah. How did you get into this work?I might end up there. I've been talking to the Dean of the School of Public Health about like going into that program.So yeah, it was, it was journey. So I think that the thing that really kind of kicked it off for me was when I got pregnant with my oldest child, I started doing all this research around birth outcomes for black mothers and they were abysmal. So essentially finding out black mothers are three to four times as likely to die from pregnancy related complications than white moms.And black infants are like twice as likely as white infants today. And like the first 30 days of life. And that really kind caught my attention, made me really nervous for obvious reasons. And then when I was pregnant with my second, that is when the Ferguson uprising happened as a response to Michael Brown being murdered.And that was kind of when I was like, okay, this seems important. Like I need to start speaking out about this issue and then fast forward another two years or so two, three years. I'm trying to remember, I guess it was probably two years. I ended up getting a job at a, in a neuroscience lab at OHSU here in Portland and it's a super diverse lab and the PI is black and a lot of the post-docs were, were people of color.And a lot of the work that was being done there was around racism and implicit bias. And it was just a really incredible learning experience even though I was working and not like in the, in the actual med school program. But that gave me a lot of, a lot more information and sort of, kind of, it started to like back up what I had been learning...

Friday June 19, 2020Get a FREE Sample by simply paying shipping from Cultured Biologix HereWe, you know, we were part of a conglomerate with about four other organic companies and, you know, each one kind of has the organic piece of the puzzle, you could say. So they do a lot of like, they take like the organic amendments you would put in your soil and they digest them ahead of time.So when they put them in a bottle also, when you use them, you're using liquid digested, organic goodness. So every time you feed your plants, you're feeding them what would naturally be released in the soil? So it's like a really more innovative, what's a new, innovative way to do organic gardening, I guess, in a more context of who they are to us, their, our, our partner company, where they provide the, the liquid organic nutrients.And we provide the, the easy to use complex to use to keep the soil broken down and healthy. And then in cycling all the nutrients and making them available for the plants...This is perfect. Did you get the email? Yes. Okay. So I'll just introduce you and we'll go from there before you drop any more golden seeds that listeners are going to want to hear. Okay, cool. Welcome to the green organic gardener podcast. Today. It is Friday, June 19th, 2020. And I have someone on the line who I think we're going to really enjoy learning about. They have a, kind of a new green business that they're going to tell us a little about, and also like how you can have better results in your gardens. So it's Cultured&nbsp;Biologix, Is that right, Tim? Yes. Yes, it is. Okay. And I'm not even sure. I know your last name, so welcome to the green organic gardener podcast. Well, I'm glad you're here. So go ahead and tell us there's a little bit about yourself. Yeah, sure. So I'm the president of a company called Cultured Biologix. We make really good organic microbial, fertilizers, natural pesticides, you know, taking essential oils that are harmless to you, me, your dogs, you know, everything good in nature, but you know, detrimental to a lot of the pests that we experienced in our garden. So we started about three years ago. We've been growing pretty steadily here in Colorado. So, you know, originally we kind of started off in the cannabis hemp seed, and now we're kind of moving into home, home and garden kind of teaching people about, you know, the new ways to, to garden organically. Okay. Well, I kind of always start out my show asking you about your very first garden experience, like where you were a kid, were you an adult? Was it recently, or like, what'd you grow? Who were you with? &nbsp;But I've been very fortunate to have a mother that's been a horticulturalist for 35 years. So take your child to work day was to take, take Tim to the, to the greenhouse and have them water plants and pick off bugs. And that leaves up off the plants. So I've been, I've been doing it for most of my life. 29 year olds, 29 years old now. So I've been gardening good 20 years of my life. First gardening experience was probably my backyard with my, with my mom, helping her do annual prenup flowers.That's been her real big thing. So just kind of grew up with it and just kind of involved with, with just probably every, every day of my life. So probably is that how you learned how to grow organically from your mom? Yeah. Yeah. One of our organically, she definitely taught me the conventional ways, you know, in a lot of conventional greenhouses and whatnot, they, they use their super triple phosphate. They do

Today. We are going to talk to somebody else. Who's also going to talk about the importance of healthy soil. &nbsp;So my guest today is a TEDx speaker and award-winning entrepreneur and author and organic biodynamic farmer and traumatic traumatic brain injury survivor, which is something super passionate to me because we had a first grader at my school, get hit by a car going 40 miles an hour, crossing the highway, getting off the bus. And she is recuperating down in Texas after being in a coma and had major.&nbsp;1I was born and raised on an organic and biodynamic farm in BC, British Columbia, Canada in the phrase of Valley. So my parents were pioneers in the organic industry in, in Canada and really in North America, my mom was recognized throughout the organic industry and they helped put together the guiding principles for certification and verification of organic farming. And I kind of grew up, you know, the girl who went to school with odd...

Patti, welcome back to the show Patti. 00:01:380Well, yes, thank you, Jackie. I just see later that we are going to get to have a conversation to share and listeners posted about coming to visit.&nbsp;I haven't posted the advice you gave me, but I talked about, well, maybe I recorded it.It was one we met with Robin in Whitefish. Actually I recorded it on the way home. So I haven't done an episode about you coming to visit. So I guess listeners you'll hear that soon, but in the meantime, what are we going to talk about today?00:02:130Yeah, they'll be good. Oh, we're going to talk about all kinds of stuff for one thing. It's here in Eastern Montana. It is like the most phenomenal growing season you've ever seen or I've ever seen. And I've been here since 1990 to give you an idea that then every single season has been different, right? But this year, this spring is just unbelievable. The plants can't ask for anything more than what they've received this year.00:02:470So they're just looking amazing and producing!&nbsp;So, yeah, I'm pretty excited that I've been able to eat kale out of my garden for the month!Previous to that, I was eating out of the passive solar greenhouse as a school.&nbsp;My goal is to eat kale year round, growing in Montana.&nbsp;So that's what I want to be...

&nbsp;I am totally loving Tori Williams Douglas' podcast White Homework! It is exactly what I was looking for. Forget reading #WhiteFragility if you want to know how racism exists around you this is the podcast to listen to. She's authentic, knowledgeable, insightful, and manages it to do it with humor and passion at the same time! Her laugh is almost as contagious as Jill Angie on the Not Your Average Runner Podcast.Anyway in one episode I listened to Tori says imagine what life would look like if we were going to restore justice. Would we give North America back to the Native Americans? Would we quit leaving our homes to our children? Almost all white people plan to inherit their home from their parents. Where would we go? If we didn't give our home to our children. What would it look like?So after thinking about it for a short while, I thought most of all, we need to start by rethinking our incarceration system. We need to turn that upside down. IDK where I read it but someone said once we could put every prisoner through a Harvard education for the cost of keeping them in jail. IDK if that's true but it sure seems like if we took the money to incarcerate so many people and put that into our schools and communities we would see real change.https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/04/30/2018-09062/annual-determination-of-average-cost-of-incarcerationhttps://www.scholarships.com/news/prison-incarceration-costs-more-than-harvard-university-tuitionTo me the biggest problem in our country is pure ignorance.I blame the media for much of it, but our schools are pretty bad too. When I tell colleagues that the average person on food stamps is on it for 6 months and gets $1.72 per person per meal, they say really, I didn't know that. I have worked side by side next to so many hardworking parents.https://www.snaptohealth.org/snap/snap-frequently-asked-questions/The other one, oh we can't change minimum wage and the only people who work for min wage are college kids or stupid people. Well when minimum wage is $7.75 or whatever it is, that means businesses can pay managers with college degrees $8.75.When I worked at Head Start it drove me crazy that they had teachers who had no college education being a child's first experience with schools and dealing with parents who are already struggling.I have said Head Start is segregation ever since I worked there. We need universal pre-school for every child everywhere, in our country, and everywhere in the world. We need to help every mother everywhere have access to healthy food, clean water and an education.I am so sick of people telling me well why do they have so many children? Don't they know about birth control? Duh, of course they don't have access to birth control. We hardly have equal access to birth control in our country.I hate people who say oh, people don't have health insurance because they are too lazy to get a real job or go to college.&nbsp;I'm so sick of Republicans that say I am not going to have my money that I work so hard for go to people to rip off the system and lay on their couch.I have seen so many parents I have worked side by side with that work day shift and night shift so their kids have a parent home, barely see each other and still have no insurance option. Now some of that might have changed thanks to Obamacare.Anyway my point today was...

Friday •&nbsp;June 12, 2020&nbsp;Recently Robin Kelson from the Good Seed Company was on the Beauty of Conflict PodcastWhat disruptive change is and why it can be a good thing.How we can tap into the intelligence and resilience in our bodies.What six behaviors we need to become more resilient.How we can thrive in the aftermath of the coronavirus.Why collaboration and cooperation are crucial to our existence.Why engaging the prefrontal cortex will enable us to be more resilient.Why we, as humans, are not as individual or unique as we might think!I can't believe we didn't see each other at Free The Seeds. I was downstairs trying to promote the Organic Oasis Guidebook. I have been so busy. School got out and my goal was to clean for 3 days and be done at noon today for this podcast and then relax before I start my new job for Gregg Clunis of Tiny Leaps on Monday. I have been listening to my new favorite podcast the Clutterbug!Get your copy of the Organic Oasis Guidebook and get started building your own earth friendly garden today!Tell us a little about yourself.Sure! I have worn many hats among them as a biochemist and attorney with an expertise in intellectual property law so I come with that background, and I have always been really interested in what constitutes resiliency, although I didn't call it that back then.I got interested in what was the core of what I saw about 30 years ago an epidemic of chronic disorders in our culturephysical bodies and impacts on our bodies. I didn't understand it, and I couldn't get any satisfaction from the&nbsp;western medicalchemicalscientific approachI looked into it, i’ve led lots of creating soil enhancements re-nourishing the soilnow as the owner of the Good Seed Co&nbsp;that sells heirloom seeds adapted to our region in montana where we live and particularly in the&nbsp;selecting and saving and sharing seeds for common usewithout eating we are not nourished and we don’t keep the species goingI’m also a co-executive director of&nbsp;AEROMTjust metal to the petal particularly in response to the covid epidemic and it's impact on the food system in Montana,&nbsp;all the work so many of our organizations have been doing on&nbsp;resiliency and sustainabilityevery single Montanan has ben impacted by itopportunity to regrow our own food supply1950 we grew about 70% of our own food and now it's down to about 7%a little bit about mein my journey as you mentioneda curiosity about resiliencyexamples that exist in nature. I have been&nbsp;studying that because it intrigues me for 30 years. I have been talking about it recently from my own perspective there's some really good systems for developing a resiliency. I call it&nbsp;developing resiliency intelligence.I didn't really hear the term resiliency till you and I went to the <a href="https://aeromt.org/"...

Join Patti Armbrister for the Composting Not Just GOOD But GREAT Workshop with the Wise Grower Guru!IDK why it seems to me it's easiest for me to talk when I am either walking or driving, when I have my computer out it seems like my mind is blank! So today I am driving, I am so excited I just got back from having lunch with Patti Armbrister and Robin Kelson and it was so good to see them.AERO - Alternative Energy Resource OrganizationRobin has been so busy! She became one of the co-directors of AERO the Alternative Energy Resource Organization and they are working really hard to help change four food systems to sustainable food systems.One question people ask me a lot about my Jeannette Rankin book is why do women make better representatives? And it's not necessarily that they are better but they do make up 50% of the population so they deserve 50% of the people and they tend to work more cooperatively finding solutions to problems.What can we do to help solve food systems?So we were saying what are the things we can do to help and I think I also talked about this with Bob Quinn, that Americans just don't spend enough of a percentage of their income on food. And that when Americans spent more of their paycheck on groceries they grew more of their own food. That up until the 1950s Montanans grew 70% of the food consumed here and that we need to get back to growing and eating locally.Also food subsidies, and you might not think that food is that cheap right now but it is compared to what other people pay in other countries and what we have paid in the past. So that makes it really hard for organic farmers to compete. For local famers. We had a big conversation about wheat in Montana, we have huge ranches and none of the wheat grown in Montana is shipped out of Montana, probably none of it is eaten here.&nbsp;So that's part of the problem.This article from 2015 shows that we export 80% of Montana wheat to Asia mostly Japan.So she's working onreducing food milestrying to get rid of the subsidies to the big cheap corporations for food and helping some of these local farmersa big piece is the government getting involved and forcingshe was talking about these farm unions that it is not ok for the giant corporations to own all these gigantic farms but no one is really enforcing itThis all leads to the poor health in the US. We could solve a lot of health issues in the US by and this is where Patti Armbrister was jumping in about how a lot of organic farms are struggling with their soil after just tilling and tilling and tilling and their not taking good enough care of the food soil web to keep growing food after 10 + years.Anyway that's what this is supposed to be about Patti teaches this composting webinar training, that she does and she has done it in Whitefish at the Spirit farm in Whitefish I think she said it was an hour long workshop and then there is 45 minutes of questions people ask. She said at the workshop they go outside and do some things but a lot of it is online and if you are composting properly and creating these worm castings is just the biggest way to be successfulAlso getting the most bang for your buck because if you are going to do the composting you might as well be getting the most nutrients you can from it!And when I just talked to Chrisitina Mcinnis from...

Hey listeners. It's me, Jackie on June 8, 2020 and I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and people out there. I've been wanting to make a message, but IDK what to say. I don't understand what's changed. Social distancing is what worked, I don't understand what's changed. In Montana it's pretty much non-existent, people are hugging everywhere.I'm worried I may never see my mom again. IDK where you are, my cousin has posted this isn't coming out anything like I wanted it to come out. I love Jill Angie and Angela Watson both recommend reading White Fragility.&nbsp;White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About RacismMy big bout with white privilege came out in 2013, and we were taking a vocabulary class. I felt like they were trying to instigate something between the blackfeet native americans and the white teachers on the staff. I asked someone and said do you look at me like a white person? and they were like heck yeah! There were other teachers native americans who thought they were trying to create trouble. But I was so wrong and ignorant.&nbsp;I certainly have experienced white privilege growing up in a very white suburb on long island and then in Montana that is very white.I'm not even sure what to say, thats why I haven't said anything yet. I am praying for you and everyone. I am sooooo thankful for you my listeners. I feel like you probably feel as much about social justice as caring for mother earth. I try to explain that to friends on Facebook.We're putting it up because when I see a colleague or a parent clicks like, I feel closer to them when I see them in the hallway or classroom it makes me feel better to see they feel like I do.&nbsp;I started this because I walked past Mike's minifarm. I was tossing and turning last night worrying why didn't I put my broccolis in. Mike's minifarm the potatoes are growing like crazy. I'm gonna release the woman from soil kit today from Alabama by the&nbsp;we did the minifarmyesterday I spent a lot of time looking, googling our soil ph was a 7.8, what does that mean? I think it's all the eggshells we have so much calcium. Lots of things grow good in a 7.8ph like asparagus."Vegetable garden plants such as asparagus, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley and spinach grow well in soils whose pH is between 7 and 8."https://landscape-water-conservation.extension.org/solutions-to-soil-problems-high-ph/Best thing to add is organic matter, which mike is gonna mulch, if you have not listened to Andrew Mefferd's interview, I would just read the book. You would not beliee how much it helped tim, time and labor, be able to lift that tarp adn turn things over with the broadfork, his soil is so rich. We got very high, or very hgih, there was no average in any of mike's soil. I feel like we should do a test in the regular garden.I guess the ideal conditions for a soil test is between 6-7ph she talks about Espoma, we actually have Espoma blood meal we bought when he was doing the straw bales, if you listen to the interview with Joel Karsten, but we hd the probelm of the fence got left open and the deer ate the&nbsp;tomatoes.I have definitely been super depressed. IDK if it's my personality, a very strong leo in the middle of the summer of love outside of NYC back in 1967. It's interesting I declared 2020 to be the year I smiled back in January, I don't feel like I didn't see my kids, because we did see each other every day, but we just didn't get that much work done.&nbsp;I hope you're well and our planet...

Samantha BlatteisSpecial Programs ManagerWWOOF-USA®www.wwoofusa.orgI'm not even sure we're gonna find someone this summer... because it would have to be someone camping in Montana? My listeners are bigger gardeners. I do have a lot of new listeners after being on the Melissa Norris Pioneering Show. I would think people might have a lot of questions. I'm the kind of person who goes through the Terms and conditions more then most. I think people will be excited to hear that there is an actual person who calls.We interview all the new hosts. As the host you are the one accepting people into your homes and liveswe want to make sure our minimum hosting criteria.Go through your listing point of areas and use a bit of more explanationConfirm that you know what our hosting criteria are and have a plan to meet them.this is a great opportunity toto gives some pointers and tips and best practices that we've learned from hosts after&nbsp;several years of hostingpass it on to the new hosts from the get go&nbsp;There are some easy things to do to make the WWOOFing experience great for both host and wwoofer so that'sthe goal of the goal of this callMake sure you&nbsp;aware of what our standards are to make sure you are a good fit for the program.So do you start by asking me questions."My first question for you is how did you first hear about WWOOF and what made you sign up to be a host?"Well, I probably heard about it before, since I started the podcast, this would be episode 319, so I have talked to 318 people, and a lot of the people I have talked to who are farm managers, who worked at someone's farm or own their farm now. One of the greatest interviews I did, with Jeremy and Neke and they would do 2 days here and 2 weeks there and 2 days there, and traveled all of South America plus learned from a variety of different people. The experience level was exponential by being at all these different farms.&nbsp;For example I interviewed Ellen Polishuck who had her own farm and now teaches people about working with interns. Our goal is to plant as much as we can this year because there could be giant food shortages this fall and people needing food and we have a lot more space then Mike can care for himself. So if we can grow more this year with some help that would be great.That's what so great about the WWOOF programPeople who want to be gardeners or farmers themselves someday can go get that experience and if they want to&nbsp;try out a bunch of different farms and set ups. One of the great toolsWWOOF offers is you can go check out from different set upsstarting out and get experience as that well hosting side your not always leave and travelfarmer or gardenertend to your animals or cropsYou can invite people to come and learn and participate with youown experience and tips and tricksboth wayshost other farmsand your in Montana so you probably have some&nbsp;cold...

Hey everyone it is Monday, May 11, 2020! I am here behind the mic to tell you that we are officially launching the Organic Oasis Master Class 2.0 on June 1, 2020.Master Class 2.0It's a 6 week course where we are going to walk you through the Organic Oasis Guidebook but there is so much more then that! Can you go buy the book on your own? Sure. But having Me and Mike and Patti Armbrister by your side, to make sure you complete all the lessons in the book. walk you through and hold your handThat's going to help you be successful in your garden. We're gonna make sure your organic oasis is complete, that you know all the parts and pieces!GARDEN SUCCESS!I feel like this year, I've had more experiences were I have been been explaining to somebody a chapter in the book or explaining something in the class. People keep asking me questions that we answer in the book?What did you say? Why do you want to plant sunflowers on April 22? You plant sunflowers because they get rid of aphids?Especially at Free the Seeds! Not only are you getting my incredible knowledge. When you join you get membership in the Patti Armbrister Fan club where you get to do a monthly question and answer all the way through your Thanksgiving harvest!If you can't figure this out:Tomato blossoms have beautiful flowers but you aren't getting any fruit or your eggplants are bushy?Whatever you questions are? This is my struggle there. You have access in the Facebook group but also you will get extra attention and a chance to ask her personally what's going on at your space.Patti and I are going to a webinar where we answer all the questions that have been in the Facebook Group!People have asked me things like:How do I take care of this banana plant or this coffee tree? Or what do I do about these squash beetles? The biggest question is repeatedly, how do I keep away pests and how do I keep my plants healthy?Hard copy as long as you are in the USPeople say things like I don't really want to journal all that much! I mean just because it has a space for every day, you don't have to document every day, you want to do it once a week, I'm sure on Friday you'll still remember what you at this week, or maybe your the opposite of me and you know this is what I am going to make next week!The point is to make you conscious of what am I eating in November because when you're standing in the seed store you're not thinking about what you were eating in the fall or last summer in August, you're just thinking of what looks good now!BROCCOLI&nbsp;This year we are going to grow more broccoli because I know broccoli is my number one food, even above pizza, I would try to bring broccoli pizza if I was stuck on a desert island. Broccoli is my super food! And number one favorite thing to eat!Mike grows it it is so incredible, we had a big squirrel problem, this year we are putting it closer to the house where it can be guarded better and we can put row cover over it. We don't know if that was a drought year or what?But we're supposed to be talking about your garden challenges.The new vegetable garden challenge. I know there is a big difference between being a vegetable gardener and growing a nice landscape. We're gonna talk about what's the difference between a garden and an organic oasis. Or maybe a farm. Like in Mike's mini-farm there's nowhere to sit. There's no designated paths!In the book the Lil...

I started my podcast in January 2015, and I have done 318 interviews with backyard gardeners, market farmers, etc and so I feel like since I started my podcast I could keep a class of students alive if I had to.&nbsp;My husband and I live on 20 acres in NW Montana, so deer is a big challenge here. Many listeners etc say that is a giant challenge. Mikes goal is trying to grow as much of our own produce as we can but this year we are trying to do more, we are even looking into having a WWOOFER coming to stay and maybe help Mike because we feel like this land should produce as much as it can and more then Mike can by himself in case we need food in the fall.It wasn’t until I saw children in a garden—holding seeds, planting them, touching the soil, and smelling, harvesting, and tasting food (nature)—that I knew they were truly perceiving their place in the natural world. And it made perfect sense. The most direct and intimate way to connect with nature is, clearly, to eat it. A small part of it becomes a small part of you—and it fills you up a little more every time. Eventually you begin to realize that you have always been 100 percent nature, that you are made of the same components of all that you see in the natural world—your body made of water and carbon, same as the flower stalks. Gardens remind us that everything is connected, and that “everything” includes us.The Little Gardener: Inspire Children to Connect with the Natural World&nbsp;Here's my amazon review:Five stars*****All you need to help inspire the little gardener in your life. Don't forget to leave yours so this book gets shared by all who need it: Illustrations bring gardening to life in this little workbook that is designed by someone who obviously knows kids + gardens and how to love and enjoy them together! Fantastic read. LOVE LOVE LOVE!It is Friday April 24, 2020 It's truly a book out of my heart. They are giving one to a listener.<a

Bonus Care Bellamy's informative Permaculture garden tour of her food forest and pollinator beds:https://youtu.be/C6SQUlsQq8w&nbsp;and then listen to my interview with her last January while you're waiting for me to publish this great interview I did with Heather Wood yesterday!I’m so excited I have a listener on the line who is going to share a ton of golden seeds! I talked to her before from Florida and she is going to share with us about her Sustainability Project! 1. Tell us a little about yourself.By day, I’m a REALTOR® and beekeeper. I’m also a 3rd generation farmer.&nbsp;My grandparents owned a 100 acre wheat farm on the prairie in rural Dufresne, Manitoba. My family lived off the land, they grew their food seasonally in a 1 acre vegetable garden. After the local community collectively brought in the fall harvest, they would busily preserve and can their produce for storage in their root cellar.These people were a hardy bunch, they managed to survive the brutually harsh winters with minimal resources using a wood burning stove for heat, crude electric and no running water or indoor plumbing. They kept and cared for livestock and only took what they needed to survive, my ancestors practiced “The Tragedy of the Commons” method.&nbsp;That’s how they managed to raise a family of 8 in rural Manitoba.And Manitoba is where people go to see the polar bears right?Yes Churchill Manitoba is where the polar bears are.Then you went to the opposite end of the continent practically to Florida.Yes I did I got hired to work for Disney at the Epcot Center back in the early 80s and that’s where I met my husband two weeks later and we’ve been here ever since!That’s so romantic! I always wanted to work for Disney, I tried to get a job or get into art school at the California Institute of Arts in LA.Well, they must have liked me! I managed to beat out 64 other people fro the job! So yay for me!And you worked there for a long time right?Yes 35 years!2. Tell me about your first gardening experience?We used to visit the farm in the summer time every two years, however my mom!&nbsp;When my mother moved to the big city of Toronto, Ontario, she became a backyard farmer and composter carrying on her family farming tradition. I began helping my mother garden as a young child, she taught me valuable lessons in planting, harvesting and food preservation skills. All these years later I’ve been utilizing this and it’s been working out fantastic for me. Luckily for me, both my parents were award winning gardeners so pulling weeds or fresh carrots comes naturally. So then is it challenging down in Florida? Do you have to learn different practices to grow in that climate?Well, gardening is pretty much the same wherever you go. IT’s just the conditions and the climate. In Florida there is a sandy soil, where my parents lived it was a&nbsp;deep rich soil. You have to plant things&nbsp;things that grow wellI’m in climate zone 9b, it’s&nbsp;way different climate. They get snow and&nbsp;here we don’t get any snow, we hardly get any freezes?3. How did you learn how to garden organically? My mother taught me, she was a big time composter of our organic kitchen waste. In fact, she had 3 bins under the...

This is a replay from 4/21/15 my first year! And when I release this year's bonus Earth Day episode you will love her even more when you hear what she's up to now!Meet the amazing Heather Wood saving the world one compost pile and bee hive at a time as she shares her journey to connect communities and show what living locally looks like. You’ll be truly touched by this mothers passion and commitment to the environment and world she lives in as she peddles compost from hub site to hub site, and bravely gathers wild swarms of bees to be relocated in a loving home with tenderness and excitement. Be ready to celebrate Earth Day after you hear this fantastic interview with one of the world’s young and inspiring modern day movers and shakers.Tell us a little about yourself.I was looking forward to graduating college and I was researching alternative styles of composting all over the country. When I was young I saw a show about a learned about a community in Italy using mules for collecting garbage and decided that was what I wanted to do. At the same I time I was getting my apprenticeship in Beekeeping.Got two business licensesnon-profit:&nbsp;Urban Evergreen Bee Sanctuary Sun Hive and Swarm.Community Compost Collection&nbsp;that’s 100% bicycle powered!Got her degree from the Evergreen State College, in the capital of Washington, in Olympia. Grew up in Tacoma, Washington. Studying physics and animation. Started studying biodynamics beekeeping and biodynamics farming which sort of takes organic a little further. Always wanted to be a beekeeper.Was able to get my apprenticeship through the Washington State Beekeepers Association. I also got to sit in on a workshop with&nbsp;Corwin Bell&nbsp;of ColoradoMore then Honey and Queen of the Sun documentaries that talk about the harm that the bees are in. Wanted to get involved and believed that she could be involved.Decided to build beehives. Sun hives –&nbsp;wild swarming&nbsp;… a step away from conventional bee keeping … talking about stepping away from conventional bee keeping which is wild swarming. Conventional bee keeping means we prevent our bees from swarming.Natural swarming means ½ of the colony will leave with the old queen so we can have genetic diversity. If we catch wild swarms and trade them we are encouraging biodiversity and local native populations that will withstand winter better and will be stronger.Bees start to swarm in the spring… Earlier that you can get a swarm to keep in the box the better, because they will have time to build up storage for the winter.A swarm is a cluster (in the shape of a V or a football) on a branch – about 7-10 feet off the ground. This is about ½ of the colony, right before the new queen is about to hatch, the bees start pestering the old queen to leave and she takes about ½ the colony with her to find a new home. They...

I have been with the organization for 10 years and the organization celebrating our 100th anniversary.&nbsp;So as a group, as we were planning for the anniversary we had no idea that this pandemic was going to happen. Last week when we could still go to the office, we were sitting around the office,&nbsp;when we could still go and I looked up on my shelf and I looked up and saw the manual and thought why not roll out what was produced and publishedour founder wrote the manual and was part of the whole&nbsp;the timing would be rightmr. james burdettin the 1920s and 30s and 40s by pulling all this information together.It is a great time in our history. I have been talking to seed suppliers and today a facebook group was looking for someone to go the 65 miles to the local cow dairy for manure. I'm an elementary school teacher and I'm hoping my parents are going to grow some gardens with their students.Today we just published another blog post, we're working with kidsgardening.org, with 10 ideas to get kids involved.&nbsp;I spent like 4 hours yesterday just trying to create a 20 minute math lesson video.you can get your kids involved in a victory garden. It can be&nbsp;fun for kids to research1943 or today2 things to start withyou must know your growing zonelast frost datebut there are tools online which they dd not have back in 1943 you can enter your zip code into the USDA and get your zone. There are&nbsp;multiple sites too.you can enter and using your zonewithout knowing those thingswhat it is to plantThose are our two tips.know your zoneknow your last frost date.You know, last year my husband and I built a free garden course and an Organic Oasis Guidebook to help you keep track of all that information together.the next step is very important for what you grow in your garden.

So I just did an interview with the amazing Diane Belzak at the National Garden Bureau who has the most awesome mission and sent me an email about building Victory Gardens and so I wanted to share this update with you and my recipe for Carrot Soup. What are you cooking during this crazy time of quarantine?Mike planting carrots seeds: One every half inch and then thin...https://youtu.be/bVeLoHnrGXACarrot SoupSaute some garlic or onions... add a bit of red pepper chopped up (like a sweet red pepper from the grocery store, not hot red pepper seeds)add carrots cleaned (and peeled if you like) and cut into pieces. I added a bag of small carrots from school, but I would say about a 2lb bag full?add some water to just about covering the carrots and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes.Add some chopped kale at the end with the ribs cut off.I forgot the Peanut Butter!!! and the COCONUT MILK!!!! First I blended the coconut milk in the food processor before adding the cooked ingredients to the food processor.I think I added some spices like curry, nutmeg, and turmeric.Take the thick mixture and pulse in food processor. Save the liquid.When reheating add a little mixture of the broth to make a soup consistency and add a dollop of yogurt and chopped cilantro. OH So good. Serve with a slice of Mike's homemade whole wheat bread and ummm emm good!&nbsp;The Organic Oasis Guidebook: Helping You Create Your Own Organic OasisThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/

For the last month they have called my phone and asked me to donate. This not something I normally do, I did once before because a friend asked me to. But I would if it was just like stop in and drop by I would probably donate regularly. It's super easy for me. Anyway then the Surgeon General asked for donations at the press briefing on March 19:"SURGEON GENERAL ADAMS:&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, thank you.&nbsp;Thank you, Mr. President, Mr. Vice President.&nbsp;Today, you heard a wonderful announcement from the FDA, and I just want to give a shout-out to Steve — Dr. Hahn — and the folks at the FDA, where about — where several hundred of my Commissioned Corps officers work.&nbsp;You’re right, Mr President, they are tireless.&nbsp;They’re doing things that have never been done before to bring the most — most prudent advances to the American people.But I want to talk about something different, briefly.&nbsp;We know many of you are home practicing the President’s guidelines for social distancing.&nbsp;But one thing we should all consider, especially our millennials and Gen Z, is donating blood.&nbsp;As an anesthesiologist who still practices at Walter Reed, taking care of our wounded warriors and our soldiers, I know donated blood is an essential part of caring for patients, and one donation can save up to three lives.&nbsp;Blood centers are open now and in need of your donation.&nbsp;I want America to know that blood donation is safe, and blood centers are taking extra precautions at this time, based on new CDC recommendations, including spacing beds six feet apart, disinfecting surfaces between patients, temperature checking staff, and encouraging donors to make appointments ahead of time so we can space them out.Social distancing does not have to mean social disengagement.&nbsp;So give blood today.&nbsp;You’ll feel good about it and you’ll be helping your country and your community during this crisis.&nbsp;And you might even save a life."And they did all of these things, I guess the beds were 6 feet apart but I didn't like the fact that the woman who took my blood etc wasn't wearing a mask, I didn't like the fact that all of us sitting there together in the waiting room were maybe 6 feet apart, IDK, and the volunteer taking my temp wasn't wearing a mask, plus there were plates of pizza laying around... But I stayed, and gave blood and I hope it helps save a life someday.... so use your best judgement if you decide to donate wherever you live. This podcast uses the following third-party...
