In the dark, I play my dreams.

Firm of fortune flows like sweet springs.

I'm the daddy, but the no, I'll see.

Green in the world like it's meant to

be.

I'm the hope, the P-I-O-V, I'm the king.

Back to loving everything.

Bringing change, making it last.

Welcome to episode four fifty two of the

permaculture pimp cast where pimp stands

for permaculture is my passion.

The only pimp cats on this earth that

discusses permaculture preparedness,

practical living and sometimes

prostitutes.

Well,

it seems like forever in a day that

William and I did a podcast together.

We've been doing a whole lot of interviews

as of late.

Well, anyway, this episode, as always,

brought to you by the Sovereign Health

Summit.

Folks,

you want to definitely check this out.

That's going to be October twenty seven

through the thirty first.

That's going to be in Harmony,

North Carolina.

And if you want to be there virtually,

you can do that, too.

We got that option at the website.

So go check it out.

TPC Tango Papa Charlie will get you five

percent off.

Also, Wellness Blanket,

ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

Michelle is wrapped up in that whoopee

every night.

She hogs it so much that we had

to buy another one just to put on

our bed.

So that's how well these things work,

y'all.

We don't sell junk.

How you doing, son?

Pretty good.

Mom's hogging all the covers again.

Yeah, man.

Well, she takes this blanket, okay?

The one we got the first time was,

oh, it's meant for a, not a twin,

but what's the size right above that?

Full, a full.

Yeah, full size.

So it's not going to fit on our

queen bed.

So anyway,

she just uses it whenever she's sitting on

the couch every night and she'll wrap up

in this thing.

And I'm like, man,

it's hot up because we don't use the

air conditioner unless somebody's here.

So, you know,

here she is wrapped up all hugged up

in this blanket and ain't even trying to

share it.

So anyway, yeah,

we had to wind up getting another one.

So how's everything on your end?

uh everything's pretty good here uh

yesterday or i guess yeah it was yesterday

we started a flea we did a flea

bomb in the house now we use the

product which everybody's going to cringe

when i say it out loud because it's

stuff that depending on how you discuss

this topic or product uh will get you

banned on youtube but i used chlorine

dioxide the pool cleaner to do a it's

okay to say it in this uh category

dad um as long as i don't say

it cures anything which it

you know, it doesn't, uh, the,

we use it for fleas in the house.

And, uh,

so you set up like a bucket,

you put the,

and we reached out to him and find

out exactly how much we needed to use

for the size house and what the problem

we had and stuff like that.

So we're following their instructions, uh,

We put the water in the buckets and

we had a bucket per room and then

we evacuated everybody out of the house.

I put Emily and the baby at a

hotel and then went back and then was

going to pick up the dog.

And after I started the gassing process

and all that.

But as I'm dumping the chlorine dioxide in

the buckets.

I leave the room and then seal the

room.

I have a fan going in there for

circulation.

And then I have a,

I seal the room on the outside.

So that way this concentration is staying

in this room and it's, you know,

just trying to be as effective as

possible.

And I do that for each room.

And then I get to the master bedroom,

which is the largest amount of the stuff

that I've used so far was in the,

the main bedroom.

And as I'm sealing up the door,

a loud boom goes off.

was so loud i thought it came from

like outside and like a something else

happened it didn't even register for a

second that it was the bucket inside the

room and then i like opened the door

real quick just to quickly see and uh

there's just this yellow fog in the room

so that i'm like oh crap

And I just quickly shut the door again.

I forget taping the rest of the house.

I quickly dose the other buckets in the

house.

And then I grabbed Chloe,

locked the back door and then we head

on out of there.

And I call up Emily.

I was like, hey,

is this thing supposed to like blow up?

Is this because I think it just bleached

my perspective at that moment.

It just bleached the entire bedroom.

And you're supposed to keep your drawers

open, all that type of stuff.

And I call her up and say, hey,

is this supposed to blow up?

And she's like, no,

it's supposed to pop a little bit.

And I was like,

that was not a little bit.

So we wait twenty four hours back to

today.

And I'm kind of eager to open up

the house and get it ventilating and then

also check out the master bedroom to see

how much damage was done.

I go in there and it was barely

anything happened.

Like the fleas, I think.

are gone they recommended multiple

applications so we'll see how well it did

um but what i thought was just massive

explosion i'm thinking we're gonna have to

do like an insurance claim like this house

is kind of ruined we're gonna have to

fix stuff up and uh i go back

in there and there's just a couple of

spots of like

dry bleach powder is what it looks like.

Um, on some of the,

like the comforter and then, uh,

Chloe's blanket, our dog,

her blanket was right next to the bucket

or a pillow was right next to the

bucket and,

just had some dry bleach powder there.

But yeah, um,

I thought I was for sure dying for

at least half a second after that boom

went off.

So if anybody's going to, you know,

gas bomb their house to get rid of

odor or fleas or whatever it may be

in their house with a chlorine dioxide,

just know that it will pop and it's

going to be even louder if it's in

a five gallon bucket.

So there's your little PSA and it's going

to foam like crazy.

So just keep all that in mind.

I think it worked pretty well other than

that, though.

Well, it works also in vehicles.

If you have a vehicle that,

let's say you were going to buy it

and you didn't because the person that

bought it smoked like crazy,

it will remove all those old odors from

a vehicle.

In fact,

if I were to get a new vehicle

or something like that,

that new car smell is not wonderful for

you.

So that's another way to get rid of

that as well.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a really good trick there.

So I'm glad you used it for that

application.

Although there might be other ways in

which you could use it, folks.

You're going to have to look that up.

All right,

so I'll kick this one off on my

end.

All right,

so anybody that's listened to the last

couple of podcasts,

you'll realize the one on Monday and the

one I did yesterday...

We had a lot of weird,

crazy technical issues,

things that just didn't seem to work out,

things that were falling by the wayside.

I'd never experienced anything like that

before.

I got a theory as to why that

happened.

And I think it's the nature.

I think the powers that should not be

in maybe the spiritual realm.

Might have had a hand in some of

that,

because think about what we talked about

on Monday.

If you haven't listened to that,

go back and check it out.

Had Ryan Matta in here,

and we talked about a lot of the

seedy things that are going on with kids.

And he dropped some incredible stats,

and you can verify every single bit of

it.

In fact, folks,

he held back quite a bit.

It's much worse than he talked about.

But anyway,

had issues with him getting on.

And then yesterday had Flat Earth Dave

say,

On here.

And if anybody's listened to an interview

with Flat Earth Dave, I mean, man,

he is Johnny on the spot.

But he and I, for some reason,

could not.

I was having problems on my end.

He was having problems on his end.

In fact,

Ryan had to go to three different browsers

before he could even access the program.

That's how crazy it was.

But also there were people in the chat

and folks,

I'm telling this as a cautionary tale.

Look, when you do this kind of work,

when you bring truth to power,

when you're talking about things that the

powers that shouldn't be don't want you to

talk about,

you better be prayed up from the feet

up.

And that's what I didn't do.

Folks, I didn't do.

I didn't put on that full armor.

And I think we suffered the consequence

because of it,

because there were some other weird things

that happened,

like last night in particular,

where as I'm going through there,

my brain, for some reason,

I know there was a lot of weirdos

in the chat,

people we've never seen before,

and they came out of nowhere.

Well,

it wouldn't shock me if there was a

whole cadre of people out there doing

things that were...

Maybe they were putting hexes on a

brother.

I'm not one hundred percent sure.

No.

But then this morning,

it seemed to follow me.

Michelle and I prayed about it.

And then all of a sudden,

just like that on the spot,

it went away.

So I'm convinced, at least on my end,

that it had to be something spiritual.

So, folks,

what I'm trying to tell you here is.

No matter where you find yourself,

no matter any position,

you better be prayed up from the feet

up, especially these days,

especially when you're talking about

things or you're discussing things.

Because if Dave is so far off the

mark, I mean,

maybe I don't agree with him on

everything,

but if he's so far off the mark,

then why not just let him talk?

If Ryan's so far off the mark,

then why not just let him talk?

Why are you dropping these guys' YouTube

channels and doing all the other seedy

stuff they do?

If they're so far off the mark,

then you would let them speak and let

them show their butts, so to speak.

So anyway, that won't happen again, folks.

um you know at least on my end

i will be prayed up from the feet

up especially when we know that we're

going to be talking about topics because

son even your mom was saying she was

like man it was like you guys were

a little bit disjointed and we were he

was having problems and me mentally man i

never have a problem with uh in the

middle of a conversation especially on a

topic that i know a lot about

And I'm sitting here,

as I'm doing the interview,

my brain just couldn't function.

And I'm stepping all over my words.

I can't pronounce things.

And then, like I said, this morning,

we pray.

I should have caught it then.

But I was reaching over to grab a

machete out of the garage.

You might want to explain that.

Hey, man,

you deal with the spiritual realm any way

you got to.

But anyway.

No,

I was grabbing a machete out of the

garage.

There was a couple of – if you

have a couple of certain things that are

growing out there,

a machete is your best tool,

not a weed eater necessarily or even a

chainsaw.

So I was grabbing it before we were

going out to get chores,

and all of a sudden this wave of

– how do you describe it, man?

I can only describe it as dread, terror.

And remember,

the Lord has not given us a spirit

of fear, but of peace.

And when that happened,

it was right then and there.

It all came together.

I grabbed your mom.

I said, look, stop everything.

We need to pray right now.

And up until that time,

I was filled with this anxiety that I

couldn't explain.

It's happened before and before we knew

precisely how to deal with it.

Then all of a sudden she and I

prayed and bam, it went away instantly.

So thank you, Lord.

So folks,

that's what I wanted to talk about there.

I didn't mean to spend so much time

on it.

So I'll get into other things.

Um, yeah, well,

I guess on the heels of something like

that, everybody, son,

have you noticed everybody's going nuts

over this film?

That's about to come out called disclosure

day.

Yeah.

I just recently heard about it.

You're talking about the one with the

aliens, right?

Yeah.

Yeah,

I just recently heard about that one.

I don't really know what to think of

it.

I haven't really paid much attention to it

at all.

Just because, I don't know,

it's some sort of trap.

Everybody here at least knows that

something ain't legit about this movie.

Just knowing the topic,

knowing that it's hitting the movie

theaters and that everybody's paying

attention to it seems like a trap.

Yeah, that's exactly what Raul,

my friend Raul,

used to be from the Firma Mental podcast.

He's doing his own thing these days.

He brought it up today.

I'd totally forgotten about it.

And I was thinking, okay, man,

you know what?

You got to be really, really cautious.

And there was an interview that I sent

you earlier today, son,

about an insider from Hollywood and the

music industry.

And they embed all this kind of stuff

into every single movie that comes out

right now.

May not be the case if it's a

Christian-based movie house or something

like that.

And he was talking about even your Netflix

subscriptions and a number of other

things.

They embed this stuff in there to get

into your psyche.

And folks,

if you think that doesn't happen, it does.

And so when you go to these things,

you got to be really cautious.

Now,

I feel halfway tempted to go there because

of the nature of the work we do.

So thinking, okay,

in order for me to know what the

enemy's doing,

that's why I listened to half of the

podcasts I listened to today.

So I can kind of get abreast of

what's going on there,

determine my own evaluation of it,

and then maybe report back to you what

my breakdown is.

So that's why I keep, I mean,

there's a lot of other podcasts I listen

to these days that are mostly about health

and how to make that better.

But I do keep one foot at least

in there to find out what's going on.

So my point being,

I don't think it's a coincidence,

and I'm sure you don't and the other

people in this audience don't,

is it seemed like a coincidence that all

of a sudden the Trump administration says,

yeah,

we're going to release all this alien

stuff.

Now you have Disclosure Day coming out.

Folks, let me remind you that Dr.

Carol Rosen,

she was the sidekick or the assistant to

Wernher von Braun.

yeah so right she reports that right

before he died he told her and i

guess she was at his deathbed for the

most part first thing they're going to do

is it's going to be um rogue nations

then it's going to be rogue terrorists

then it's going to be something else and

then the final card that they intend to

play

And Dr.

Rosen came out with this years and years

ago.

By the way, folks,

if you think this just came out yesterday,

she said this years ago.

The last card they play, son,

what's it going to be?

Aliens.

The aliens.

And right before that,

it's going to be the celestial threat,

which they've already kind of brought that

one out.

So when they feel like they've taken this

thing as far as they can go,

that's exactly the last thing they're

going to pull.

And I find it no coincidence that Steven

Spielberg,

likely one of these sleazy creatures,

probably on Epstein's list.

I mean, the guy,

he definitely has some weird stuff going

on in his background and a lot of

reports about things that he's allegedly

done.

Anyway, here he is making this movie.

No doubt, very captivating.

But folks, if you go there,

like I said,

like I began the beginning of this

program,

If you're going in there,

make sure your intentions are right.

Make sure you're prayed up and make sure

you're going in.

I'm not watching it as entertainment.

I watch most things these days.

If I watch anything at all to find

out exactly how,

what is the play they are using?

Because I know that everything they do is

a manufactured lie.

And I mean, in government, I don't care.

Democrat, Republicans,

they're all in it together.

Read the work of Carol Quigley.

You'll know what I'm talking about.

All of these people work together.

So son,

do you have any thoughts on that?

yeah and keep in mind with spielberg his

uh method for coming up with stories or

writing or anything like that it's the

same exact process as like the real mate

real maidens that hitler used where he

gets heavily intoxicated he's talked about

this in interviews uh he gets very very

intoxicated and then he does almost this

autonomic writing um where he's not even

like he isn't consciously coming up with

these stories he just gets

messed up and then starts writing and uh

yeah same thing that hitler used for the

real maidens to get all that technology

it's funny because a whole lot of people

that are working in all kinds of parts

of the entertainment industry whether it

be through music you name it every single

bit of them

go into,

let's call it altered states of

consciousness to get some of these ideas.

In fact, some of the, like, you know,

Eddie Van Halen, you ask him, Hey,

he's asked a number of times in interviews

before he died.

How did you ever come up with that?

And he says, I, you know,

it wasn't through me.

Well,

one thing you know about Eddie is that

my man was messed up from the feet

up all the way around.

And that's where he came up with a

lot of this stuff.

So like William said, in his case,

maybe it's automatic writing or,

For a lot of these other people,

they go into these other realms.

When you change your state of

consciousness,

you're opening yourself up to all kinds of

stuff.

Now,

I'm not saying you can't have a beer

or a couple of beers or whatever the

case being,

but when you get to the point where

you're not in the driver's seat anymore,

that's where a whole lot of things.

Why do you think they call alcohol

spirits, y'all?

Yeah, so that's how that stuff happens.

All right,

so I'm going to leave all that behind

and talk about some of this other farm

news.

I wanted to cover that because it's

important.

And this is the last time you're going

to hear me talk before that movie.

Um, other things we're doing around here.

We got tons of comfrey out there and

we've been planting the daylights out of

the crowns over here.

So folks,

if you take the comfrey that we bought

and you, you dig it up,

you harvest it, put a crown back,

cut up the other crowns, sell them,

plant them elsewhere.

I mean,

there was a reason why that is our

most valuable player here on this farm.

Um,

other things I didn't really get to talk

about it in the depth I'd like to,

but I want to give a hat tip

to, um,

The folks over at Wise Traditions, man,

Alberto and his wife, Annette,

they came by for a brief visit.

They came by on Sunday,

and it was such a joy to be

around some incredible people.

And you talk about how the Lord puts

certain people in your place.

I mean...

I talked about it briefly in the last

time,

but we ran into them at an ice

cream shop about a year ago.

Next thing you know,

they're stopping by for a visit.

And it was a real, real joy.

I mean,

absolutely people that practice what they

preach.

And it is always a joy to be

in the company of those kinds of people.

So that was a real joy.

Other things going on around here.

Yeah,

we got apples coming up in a big,

big way around here.

got some peaches.

Remember folks,

this is why you want early,

mid and late of every single thing you

grow,

especially when it comes to your

perennials.

So we got early, mid and late apples.

So if you get a late or early

frost like we just had,

That peach tree that's outside this

window, I'm looking at it right now,

that peach tree that gave us four hundred

pounds of peaches last year has two of

them on there this year.

Why?

Because of a late frost.

Well, two buds happened to make it,

so that's all I'm getting off that tree.

But because it got mid and late,

those guys are doing just fine.

So think about that when you design your

orchards, your food forest,

all those things.

And then, you know, other things,

you know,

going every time we go to town, man,

we stack functions.

Folks,

you don't just do it in your farm.

You do it with every trip.

What am I talking about?

Every time we drop off packages,

I go to the local college and I

pick up wood chips and I'm putting them.

I'm just redoing everything that we have

out here.

Those aged wood chips, y'all,

they are going to pay dividends in massive

ways.

So think about those other things where

you can stack functions like, okay,

I got to go to town.

What other things can I do at the

same time that are going to benefit me?

So it's also zoning,

if you stop to think about it,

on a macro level.

Yeah, on a macro level.

So if I'm going to the grocery store,

okay,

down the street from there is the post

office.

Got to hit them both.

And then just a little further down the

street are those wood chips.

So why come back empty-handed?

So every single time I go to town,

y'all,

I'm picking up an entire load of wood

chips at the same time.

Putting it in my food forest,

putting it around the country we grow.

We're putting it in so many different

places.

And if you really want to kick it

up, put down some cardboard first.

And then finally,

I want to tell everybody I started a,

I was telling William before we went live

here,

Michelle and I just started the latest

program, physical program.

And folks,

I think you might be blown away by

it.

It's with fascia.

And I talked briefly about it earlier in

the week.

And Michelle and I are about eight days

into it.

So there's a seven-day program,

and it's called the Human Garage.

And then there's also a twenty-eight-day

program.

We start on a twenty-eight-day program

tomorrow.

Folks,

you're going to look at this and think,

okay, man,

this is just a bunch of stretching.

It's really a lot more than that.

I'm talking...

It is a reset in so many different

ways, folks.

We have got to find every healing modality

we can,

everything we can to center ourselves,

be in the moment, not be freaking out.

If you're stressed out,

you might want to look at some of

this stuff.

So, son,

did you have anything more to add?

I know we were talking a moment ago

about your bug bomb,

but anything else going on around there?

yeah real quick talking about the fascia i

remember there was a podcast that mom and

i were listening to on the way back

from i think it was new york when

we were all living in texas at the

time and uh we were in tennessee when

she played this podcast it was uh the

art of manliness podcast i don't know if

they're still around i don't know i don't

know i haven't kept up with that

particular podcast but he had a guest on

talking about the greeks doing that they

called it fascia running um

The first marathon,

the reason the guy was able to run

that far that quickly just on a drop

of a dime is because they were doing

a lot of fascia running and running

through the Greek.

I don't know if you'd call them mountains

or not,

but it's steep over there in certain

spots.

They're able to run through there with

their goats using their fascia without

ever really getting tired.

Also,

whenever you're doing either wrestling or

jiu-jitsu or anything like that,

There's what's called weight strength and

then grappling strength.

You'll get some people in there that can't

bench one-thirty-five for one rep,

but then they're stronger than everybody

else in the gym whenever it comes to

jiu-jitsu and wrestling.

I wonder if they're tapping into

potentially that fascia strength.

I think that's exactly what they're doing.

And they could even tap into it even

a little bit more where it intersects

everything in your body.

And so your mom and I have been

doing these stretches,

me a little bit more.

And man, I'm feeling a big,

big difference, I think, so far.

And she is well,

where she gets a little bit stressed out

about all the things that we have going

on around here.

I'll stop her.

Okay,

we're going to go out here and do

this.

How do you feel?

She's like, yeah, I feel centered again.

So it's not just for that.

If you're dealing with a health ailment

and stuff like that,

go check them out at the human garage.

I'm going to reach out to them and

see if I can't get them on the

program.

But yeah,

I know folks where we juggle a lot

of things,

but if I physically can't do the work,

you know, what good is any of it?

So it was kind of cool to go

into my chiropractor.

I went there on Monday and he was

doing an update on me, you know,

just kind of checking things out.

My Atlas bone had been out and he

worked on me.

I told him about doing this program and

man, he was just, just all giddy.

He's like, dude,

we know absolutely nothing about the

fascist.

So it's so awesome that there's people out

there actually talking about it.

So he wanted the,

he wanted the link so he could check

it out himself.

So anyway,

that'll that'll cover the farm news real

quick let me cover this uh question what

kind of meds are bad in urine to

use in compost uh kyle asked that question

and by the way folks if you have

questions please put them in uh capital

letters so i can actually see them through

these birth control glasses um so anyway

if it comes through your urine

you can always assume that it is an

improved state.

So even if you're taking meds,

and by the way, if you are,

perhaps it might be in your best interest

to figure out how to not take them.

If you are taking those meds,

by the time your body's done with them

and it's going out through your urine,

in fact, Dr. Group covers this in detail,

that it's in a much better form.

so don't let that you know give you

any sense of fear of putting it into

your compost and the best is going to

be you know you and your everybody else

in your family if you can put that

in your compost um you know you don't

want to be getting five gallon buckets of

it but you know periodically you know as

you collect it maybe a gallon at a

time or less depending on the pile every

time you put that in there folks it's

only going to compost it's only going to

make compost that's more designed for you

Yep, sounds a little bit fruity, but hey,

that's what we do.

Anyway,

Stefan Subkowiak seems a little bit blown

away by that someone I told him on

his program.

Yeah, he did,

which that comes out Father's Day,

by the way.

If anybody's interested,

the interview that me and Dad did with

Stefan and his son is going to come

out.

Is it exactly on Father's Day that it's

coming out or after?

I don't know.

I think it's going to come out on

Father's Day.

That's not their normal upload day,

but I think they're making it come out

on Father's Day.

So that'll be fun if anybody's interested

in that.

Go check out Permaculture Orchard Podcast

if you want to hear that interview come

out.

definitely go check them out all right

y'all wave watch billy one hunt it we'll

get you a hundred bucks off that watch

if you see any video williams holding his

up right now i got the older version

which i like um everybody freaks out when

they see that thing and they they're

thinking it's some kind of you know some

kind of smart watch or some like i'm

calling in artillery they don't know what

it is but folks i wear that thing

every single time i go to town and

you know occasionally right here in the

studio

Depends on what I might be dealing with.

Billy,

one hundred will get you a hundred bucks

off of that.

All right.

Bond charge.

If you're wanting some of these ball and

ball and glasses that William and I have

on, go to bond charge.

We've got a link for it down below.

B-O-N charge.

PERMA will get you, I think,

fifteen percent off at that one.

So anyway,

go check them out if you're wanting some

really, really ballin' blue blockers.

Yeah, say that ten times.

And then finally, Soil Saviors.

We've got a link for that down below

for everybody.

You don't have time to make compost.

You can't get around to it.

Well, that's your next best things.

Link below.

Alright, so, son,

we'll kick off some of the good news

here.

Beyond the cup of coffee.

So, in this article...

they're talking about the science of

morning beverages and brain function.

So instead of doing coffee,

if you're like me,

you have a nasty reaction to coffee.

If you're not drinking it where it's grown

and it,

I can't even tell you what all that

entails.

I just know with me,

if I drink coffee, um,

and I'm not in that environment,

I have reactions.

I have things that aren't pleasant,

believe me.

So they offer some alternatives for all

those out there,

obviously water being one of them.

And every single morning I get up,

I drink a,

I'd say it's sixteen ounces of water with

a half a teaspoon of Dr.

Will's salt in there.

um and see what else i put in

there a little bit of lemon juice that'll

help you get a little bit more hydrated

guarantee if you woke up you are already

dehydrated you lost a lot of water through

the night so that's one i definitely do

here's another one is green tea and matcha

combines the effect of l-theanine

And you can get a sustained focus without

the jitters.

Okay, that might be something.

But I have the MFTR gene problem,

which means I probably shouldn't be

fooling around with green tea,

if I remember that correctly.

Here's another one that never has bothered

me, and that's yerba mate.

you get the caffeine and the theobromine

bromine for you know a smooth energy curve

without the crash i've always done good

with yerba monte i might i might want

to think about that and then hot cocoa

folks not the american way the hot cocoa

like they do it in el salvador where

it's just the cocoa and water and they

steeped it you know that's about it

So you get all the benefits of a

small amount of caffeine,

but you're also getting a whole lot of

really wonderful things that's in that

cocoa.

So,

and you want to make sure you source

that stuff.

I mean,

I hear there's a lot of nasty things

and a lot of cocoa out there.

So you want to make sure you've got

a good source.

And then of course you can do the

high protein smoothies and stuff like

that.

So in fact,

you can even add some of that stuff

to your smoothie if that's the way you

choose to roll.

All right, next one here.

is seven herbal sleep remedies that deepen

restful sleep,

restore nervous system function.

And by the way, y'all,

I was talking about that human garage.

They even have a routine for you to

sleep even better.

And most of their stuff is free.

You can find it.

I mean,

you can go to their YouTube channel and

you're going to find a lot of this

stuff that's free.

I would do that.

Fifteen minute reset.

And, you know,

do that every single day and see how

you feel.

See if it moves the needle a little

bit on you.

So, yeah, seven herbal sleep remedies.

Here's another one because, you know,

so many people are using melatonin,

which you should not be doing.

Um,

you should not be messing with that stuff.

Folks.

It's definitely not longterm.

I knew people that use that stuff every

single night.

So here's some things that you can do.

I mean,

Valerian chamomile and passion flower

increased GABA,

which is going to help you chill.

It adds, has like a sedation effect.

I almost said lavender.

Yeah.

Lavender aromatheria increases slow sleep

wave, slow wave sleep,

whatever that means.

William, you're the sleep guy,

whatever that means.

Lavender sounds like your substitute

teaching in the hood.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Lavender.

Lavender.

Yeah, so here's another one.

Oswaganda lowers cortisol levels to

address stress-related insomnia.

Lemon balm, that's really good.

There's a whole lot of other things these

herbs work for, folks.

You don't need to go to the pharmacist

to get a lot of relief out of

this stuff, folks.

And honestly,

with the way the world's getting right

now,

I know it hasn't really hit the U.S.

yet.

But I'm telling you what,

the Stratiform moose is down,

and they're talking about dropping some of

the other ones.

So you better be holding on to your

hat.

You might want to think about growing some

of this stuff.

So here's another one.

Honey consumption rises as research

suggests the health benefits.

I guess people are just now figuring that

out.

Okay.

So, yeah.

Here's what you want to do.

Look,

I can sit here and tell you this

study.

Here's the bottom line.

Get your honey as local as can be.

If it's pasteurized,

you need to take a tap hammer,

tack hammer,

wrap them in the head a couple of

times and ask them,

why are you pasteurizing honey?

I mean,

that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard

in my life.

People bragging about it.

Oh, we pasteurize our honey.

It was already perfect to begin with.

Here's how we do it right here at

Permapastors Farm.

It comes out of the frame.

Well, it's out of the hive,

comes out of the frame.

I spin the frame in a little hand

crank that I do to this day by

hand.

I got an electric one,

but it doesn't make sense.

Spin it by hand,

collect it at the bottom of the collector,

Only processing we do is that all I

do is strain out the wax and bee

parts that might've gotten in the honey.

And then it comes out the bottom and

then it's ready for consumption.

And of course our bees out here,

unlike everybody else around us,

they get absolutely no help.

They don't get any sugar water.

They don't get anything else.

In fact,

it's getting starting to be that time here

before too long where I'll put the pollen

traps on there and I'll collect all that

pollen out of there.

Something William and I learned from Dr.

Schmidt.

And that is your multivitamin every single

day.

At least for me, it is.

I put it on my salad every single

day.

So I'll put that on the bees.

You know,

right now they're doing their own thing,

but there will come a time later in

the season while I put those pollen traps

on there.

When the bees go through,

the pollen falls off and lands in the

trap.

You leave it on for about a week

at a time.

So it doesn't really weaken your hives at

all.

And then you take it off and then

you collect it.

I freeze dry it and then I use

it all year long.

That's where I get my multivitamins,

folks.

That's how it rolls.

I mean,

they got every single thing in there.

Dr.

Jana Schmidt has done work after work

after work discussing that very thing.

So, yeah, I'll get mine from nature.

But anyway, as far as the honey,

that's all.

And then from there,

it goes in the jar.

Steve the blacksmith, a friend of mine,

he and his wife,

I just dropped off your mom and I

dropped off.

I think it was on.

We went over to visit him on Saturday

and dropped off some honey.

And then in turn,

they got cows and they raise, you know,

cows that don't have any drugs in them.

And these people are very fastidious about

what goes in their bodies.

So it's always cool when they hand us

back a bunch of cheese and milk.

So we're giving them honey.

with bees that don't get any kind of

mite treatment, nothing.

Only mite treatment we have is running our

chickens through there twice,

maybe three times a year.

That's how we look after our bees.

And if the hives aren't strong enough to

ward off any pests, then guess what?

Who needs you anyway?

So yeah,

there's a lot of beekeepers out there.

They're calling their honey this and that,

that and this,

but we don't put anything in it and

we keep only the strong.

So that way we are,

and plus right now, son,

since I put away that weed eater and

I use it very,

very sparingly only on silver grass,

I no longer go out there and chop

off the seed heads.

I don't do any of that stuff.

And the number one reason why is because

the pollinators,

I'm killing their habitat by, you know,

trying to,

but now I'm letting everything go as

natural as it can be.

And now it's coming back.

I mean,

we got pollinators that are blowing this

place up.

There's plenty enough for our bees and

there's plenty enough for all the natural

pollinators out there.

So,

Yeah, sorry,

I didn't mean to spend so much time

on that.

I know I say that often,

but it's what it is,

or as a ghetto philosopher,

yeah real quick the the pasteurization i

wonder if they're because we are aware of

all the the frauds and fakes as far

as honey goes at the supermarket and now

most of it is completely garbage and not

even honey i wonder if they're doing the

pasteurization on some of them because

they're harvesting the frames too early

before they're capped and they still have

that high water content so i wonder if

they're pasteurizing it because it won't

be shelf stable i wonder if that's part

of the reason

That's a good point there, son.

I didn't even think about that.

And then, folks,

here's another thing to consider.

There was even a documentary,

and you can probably still find it on

Netflix,

where they were talking about the bee

industry and how I want to say maybe

ninety percent of the so-called honey in

that store came from a factory in China

where they manufacture it.

It's as fake as a three dollar bill.

It is fake.

It ain't even real honey.

But they put all these labels on there

and you think, look,

unless you know somebody like me or

another beekeeper around you and you're

aware of their methods, folks,

you don't want to get that stuff.

I mean, in fact, son,

they're so good at faking this so-called

wild honey.

that even the professionals have to put it

under a microscope and you better be a

very very good microscope person to know

the difference well your body knows the

difference and so i don't get mixed up

in any of that stuff so um yeah

real quick there's a there's a question

from kai schlott any recommendations as to

where we can get bees to start a

new hive i want bees next year for

honey the best place that i've ever

noticed to get bee equipment be like

anything uh

colonies anything like that is joining

your local beekeepers group there's always

going to be two old timers there two

old men that are retired and they go

and they get bees from businesses that

don't want bees so like you've seen those

bee removal videos that's exactly what

these two old men do every beekeeping

group has them that i've noticed uh and

they have they already have more bees than

what their wife wants anyway so they got

to get these bees and then get rid

of them or give them away

And they probably have more equipment than

they need.

So they're, and anybody who's getting in,

they get excited about anybody getting

into beekeeping.

So that's what I would recommend is go

to a local beekeepers group and you'll

probably get everything you need pretty

quickly.

Every place has them, y'all.

I'm telling you,

it's one of those things where when you

have these people are so passionate about

their bees that they'd love to see other

people get into it.

So no matter where you are in that

spectrum, I'm telling you what,

they will teach you every single thing you

need to know.

Um,

and you're going to see a lot of

conflicting information when it comes to

bees from so many different people.

You know,

you're going to have one expert over here

telling you to do the very opposite of

what this expert,

you're just going to have to find out

what works for you, where you are.

So that's what it, you know,

when it comes down to brass tacks on

these bees, that's really,

really what it comes down to.

is uh finding out what works for you

at the end of the day look we're

not spraying any junk in here if they

get mites it's because the hive wasn't

strong enough to take care of it so

if they get you know those moths that

get in there we get that problem from

time to time okay i guess you weren't

meant to make it that's how it rolls

around here we're not giving you any drugs

because at the end of the day

Really, if we have a robust environment,

I think they ought to do well.

Now, keep in mind,

that's notwithstanding the fact that

they're dropping garbage from the sky.

So I'm curious to see,

now that we have that buster out there

that's knocking out, you know, we had Dr.

Presser on about a week ago talking about,

you know, what this thing does.

I can't wait to see what the production

on the bees is going to look like.

But I will say, folks,

I'm seeing production on trees that have

never had it before.

So I am quite excited.

I'm waiting with bated breath to see

because last time, man,

we give away just about all of the

honey.

I mean, William,

I think we gave you guys one time

five gallons of it.

Yeah, you give Emily most of the money,

honestly.

Yeah, we give away most of the honey,

and it's a good bartering tool,

or it's a good tool like I was

talking about with Steve the blacksmith.

You know, they don't have bees.

We do.

We don't have cows or, you know,

we don't have milk cows.

They do.

So it's a perfect symbiotic relationship

and you can find those around your folks.

So keep, you know,

keep all that stuff in mind.

All right.

With that said,

we're going to go to my man,

Eric Sider.

Hey,

Eric Sider here with your PimpCast tip of

the day.

Today's tip,

all roads lead to permaculture.

Permaculture is really the only game in

town.

There are plenty of techniques for growing

food and plenty of ways to organize a

community,

but there is no other system of design

that puts it all together in a

regenerative way,

one that is universally applicable across

the globe.

None that I know of, anyway.

People love to waste time debating

techniques as if there is one best way

to do anything.

As always, it depends.

Permaculture is not a technique,

despite how often misinformed or

ill-intentioned people online try to make

it so.

It is a strategic system of design based

in ethics that dictate our intentions.

It is very frustrating how little people

value design.

Most people are walking around with

devices in their pockets that had

thousands of hours and millions of dollars

of design and research put into it.

And it's mostly used to distract ourselves

from real life.

Then the same people look at you sideways

when you try and tell them the importance

of designing their property where they

spend most of their lives and where the

easiest place to create health and wealth.

The biggest issue is the people that see

the need or value permaculture tend to not

have the money and resources to implement

it.

And the people with all the money and

resources don't value the system.

But the worse things get out there,

the more people jump on the path to

permaculture.

You can find me on YouTube and Instagram

at Eric Sider.

If you're in need of permaculture

t-shirts,

the official pimp gear of this pimp cast,

or remote permaculture consultation and

design, head over to ericsider.com.

And for more information on my

permaculture community group in the

Sacramento area,

head over to permaculturefairoak.org.

That's my dog right there.

Wow,

hits it out of the park once again.

And also,

it just kind of weaves right into what

we just talked about there.

I mean, sadly, son,

maybe you see it a little bit differently,

but sadly,

I think before a lot of people start

to wake up and smell the corruption,

They're going to have to go through the

crucible of really,

really hard times in this country before

they think, oh, shoot,

where is my food coming from?

Do I have a friend I can go

get, you know, honey from?

Do I have a friend where I can

go get milk from or whatever those cases

may be?

I mean,

there's always going to be that problem.

And sadly,

I think a lot of people are not

going to wake up until the, you know,

till the bullet hits the bone.

Yeah, no, I agree with that.

I don't think there's really going to

be... If you're not awake by now,

I don't think there's going to be another

event that wakes anybody up.

I mean,

having gone through what we just went

through, I mean,

the lies have never been more obvious than

they are right now.

If you haven't... I mean,

I'm not saying it's impossible for anybody

to wake up.

I just don't think any one singular event

is going to wake up the masses.

I think...

Yeah,

I think they're in that delusion at this

point.

Strong delusion, no doubt about that.

Yeah, thanks, Nancy.

Everybody hit that like button if you're

new coming in here.

And no matter what, yeah,

hit the like button.

It lets everybody know at YouTube that

we're live so they can go ahead and

start suppressing us.

So anyway, it might help a little bit.

All right, Nessa's Hemp,

ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

Use that stuff every single day, y'all.

That's another little sleep hack I got

there is, you know,

if you got a little bit of anxiety

before you go to bed,

take a dropper of that or a half

a dropper, whatever you need.

And, you know,

plus everybody has an endocannabinoid

system.

That's what we learned the last time she

was on the program.

Everybody has one of those and it needs

to be filled up.

And that's one way you can go about

it.

All right.

So let's get into the topic here.

And the reason why I really wanted to

cover this is one of the big responses

I get from so many people is, well,

I don't have,

I can't wait to do that.

when I get land or I don't have

enough land or I can't do that.

I get that so much.

In fact,

in the last video that I put out

talking about how you can, you know,

layer your comfrey out there with your

nitrogen fixtures to do your mulching and

never have to buy mulch ever again.

And by the way,

the people that were wanting to update on

that, don't worry,

I'll give it to you when the time's

right.

And I'll explain exactly, you know,

it's a self-licking ice cream cone.

You never have to go out and get

anything again.

Well,

there were so many people in there saying,

man, I can't wait to get land.

In a lot of videos that I do,

folks, it doesn't matter where you are.

And in fact,

that's why I wanted to cover protein in

particular.

Can you produce all of your protein in

one acre?

Now,

keep in mind that unless you live in

the tropics,

the hardest thing to find in nature is

what, son?

It's going to be fat.

That's right.

So if you're into preparedness and all

that stuff, you know,

it's funny how many other people started

coming out saying it after I kind of

put it in the zeitgeist.

And now a lot, you know,

I don't need credit for it.

I'm just saying I put that out there.

Everybody in the preparedness thing would

talk about, you know, protein carbs,

put back your rice and beans and all

this kind of stuff.

And nobody ever talked about fat.

Now, if you live in the tropics,

that comes relatively easy in the form of

so many things like coconut and avocado,

right?

Easy to come by.

I mean, insanely easy to come by.

But when you're in more temperate

environments, not so much.

Or it's a little bit harder to come

by,

but other things may come a little bit

easier.

So let's just talk about protein in this

part right now.

So let's pretend for a moment you're on

one acre.

And William and I had talked about maybe

doing something like this in a video,

like taking a one-acre spot and then just

let's see how much food we can produce

on this one acre,

maybe put some sort of domicile out there.

And we've talked about it over and over.

Maybe in the future we'll have that

opportunity.

But people think they need less protein

than they really do.

Um, typically, you know,

depending on whom you ask anywhere

between.

Fifty to a hundred grams per day,

or maybe not that much,

or maybe way more than that,

depending on what it is you're trying to

do right off the bat.

I think one of the biggest, I mean,

I got so many things I can go

here.

I don't,

I don't want to kick it off and,

um, wipe out Williams list here,

but thank you.

I'm going to,

I'm going to tell you right now,

if you don't get the bigger version of

the hair sheep.

Believe it or not,

that's one of the most efficient protein

sources in the permaculture system that

you could do on an acre.

Because you're converting,

at the end of the day,

you're converting forage into meat while

building soil fertility.

If you do what Eric talked about, design,

you can do none of what we're talking

about.

I don't even know what's on William's

list.

But I'm telling you, folks,

you can't do any of this if you

have a lousy design.

So that's going to be my first one.

I designed my list.

So where I started off with the smallest

possible space and then worked my way out

from there.

So like this is a small property starting

zone zero.

We'll start inside the house and then

we'll build up to bigger and bigger

systems that will graduate to the outside

of the house.

And the first thing I had on my

list,

which isn't going to be it's not going

to be a staple,

but it's going to be.

Some people take it as a supplement,

but it's going to be spirulina,

which can really just take up.

I mean, if you have an extra room,

you could put like a kiddie pool in

there and then do a large scale size

spirulina thing if you wanted to.

Or if all you have is like space

for a fish tank.

You could do a fish tank in the

living room or any extra room that you

have and grow a complete protein that way.

And a lot of people, again,

a lot of people take that as a

supplement.

A lot of vegans and vegetarians take that

as a supplement as well.

So, yeah, spirulina.

You can be in a studio apartment and

still grow spirulina if you wanted to and

still produce a decent amount of protein.

That's a good one, son.

I'll be honest with you.

It didn't even cross my mind.

But now that you said it, I'm like,

boy, that is actually quite...

And that's just one of many benefits you

get from something like Spirulina.

Next one I'm going to come off is

going to seem like a no-brainer, but...

folks think back to what eric said

regarding design this is so important i'm

gonna say okay you're on that one acre

i talked about sheep okay what should you

have go behind them and by the way

there's so many awesome responses right

here in the chat and we're going to

cover some of those uh amy says bean

sprouts are a complete protein great um

yeah uh one-legged woodworker

Goat, sheep, chickens, yeah,

but let's talk about them in context.

I'm going to talk about chickens and

specifically laying birds.

Okay, we're talking about one acre.

So every time your ruminants go through to

bust up that parasite cycle, now look,

you're not gonna get twenty of them out

there, okay?

But to break up that parasite cycle,

you want something going behind them.

It could be ducks.

I'm gonna talk about chickens because of

the versatility and what they're gonna do

in the soil.

They're gonna scratch,

they're gonna break up,

they're gonna go through that poop.

And they're going to make absolutely sure

that they get any of the larvae.

So we want to try to make their

rotation about three days after the

ruminant went through.

Because by that time,

all the fly larva or anything present is

going to be making itself known.

And the chickens will definitely make them

pay.

They're going to pay the piper for that.

But it has to be done in a

holistic system.

So what holistic system that you could

have?

Let's say you're on...

You're in a stationary spot and it can

be mobile.

And let's say you got layers out there.

What system have you and I both talked

about that would work beautifully for a

bunch of laying birds?

The chicken tractor on steroids.

I mean that,

that is an awesome system that i don't

think enough people really tap into

because you produce all of your like if

you're doing layers you produce all of

your eggs for free all of their chickens

are getting all of their food from the

system itself which needs to be combined

with at least a guard i should say

um so that we have garden waste and

compostable material they you produce a

cubic yard of compost per week if you're

if you have the right sizes and everything

um

I mean, it's just a it's a close.

Once you have a chicken tractor on

steroids and a garden on your property and

you have the numbers all figured out as

far as chickens and how much food you

need and feed requirements in order for

them to lay.

Once you have all that figured out,

it's a closed loop system for your

property.

That means it needs no outside inputs in

order for this system to function and

produce excess,

which is what regenerative is.

But yeah.

Keep in mind that this system,

there's going to be a lot of us

right now that have more time than money.

This system is going to be a little

more time.

You're going to have to invest more time

in it, no doubt about that.

But the rewards, I mean,

the chickens lay more in a system like

that.

They work harder.

They're a little rougher looking,

but they're happy birds,

and they're not just sitting here lounging

around waiting for some pellets to come

out there.

So that's going to be my next one

right there.

The next one I have,

which is going to I'm actually going to

answer a couple of things all at the

same time.

My next one I have is comfrey,

and that can be grown inside the house

again or on the front porch if you

wanted to.

Now, if you Google it,

it'll tell you not to eat comfrey.

I say you're an adult.

You can make your free choices.

They did it for centuries before that

Rockefeller study in the early nineties,

uh, with no, I mean,

there have been no documented illnesses

from comfrey outside of that one

particular study that the Rockefellers did

in the nineties and then figured out a

synthesized active compound in it.

Um, but comfrey.

Uh, it's super high in protein.

It, once you have a plant,

you never have to buy the plant again.

Uh, now Kai, uh,

Kai Schlott asked earlier, um,

first of all,

he was asking if we were related.

Yes, that is my dad.

And it is.

son.

And then also he said earlier that he

bought comfrey from the website that I

recommended.

He bought twenty of them and he planted

twenty of them and they were all doing

wonderful.

That was my dad's website that I

recommended.

Permapasturesfarm.com.

If you want to buy comfrey,

go to dad to get it.

But yeah, comfrey.

Same thing with the spirulina.

If you have an extra room to dedicate,

you could turn that extra room into

somewhat of a controlled greenhouse if you

wanted to.

Open up the windows if you wanted,

but you could grow comfrey in that

greenhouse.

It's a low-growing shrub.

It regrows very,

very quickly as long as the temperature is

appropriate.

I just cut some in the back garden

two weeks ago and mulched the garden with

it,

and

Uh, it's already back.

It doesn't look like I can let other

than like the nubs that you can see

on some of the stocks,

it looks like I never even cut it.

Um, so yeah,

comfrey and also two for one,

not only going to be your food can

also go into your first aid kit as

well.

Uh,

there's a guy at my jujitsu gym who

just broke two ribs.

Um,

Fifty-year-old dude rolling around with a

seventeen-year-old,

and they're both white belts,

so that just spells disaster.

Broke two of his ribs,

and he's putting Comfrey Sav on his ribs

right now.

But he has already said that he's only

done it for four days so far,

and he's already noticed a vast

difference.

He can take a deep breath now,

so that's awesome.

Oh, man, that's good news.

Well,

here's another one I'm going to suggest.

And by the way, man, son,

this is exactly why I would love to

do.

We need to get another carrier.

I would love to do a call in

program for exactly the reasons I'm seeing

right now in the chat.

Man,

there are so many awesome ideas out there.

And, folks,

this program just isn't about us.

It's about being able for us to be

able to learn from you,

and we could do it a whole lot

better if we had a call-in program as

well.

So I think in order to do that,

we're going to have to switch up.

Man,

we've really got to put a little bit

of work into that and find out why,

because this is exactly how cool would

this show be if I said, hey,

every caller –

If you're going to call in,

tell me what yours is and give me

the skinny on it.

We could put out the word ahead of

time.

I mean, we could all learn from that.

They're putting out some really good stuff

that I didn't think about.

So, yeah,

we got to seriously think about doing

that.

All right,

so my next one is going to be

meat birds.

Now, it's not a – okay,

so let's say you got layers out there.

Here's the cool thing about that chicken

tractor on steroids.

It works better the bigger the bird

because the more material that can move,

the ideal bird in that system is not

what you've been told.

It's not one, you know,

they give you all the metrics of what

the ideal bird is.

In a system like the chicken tractor on

steroids, instead of just having a layer,

why not get a dual-use bird?

Why not get a Bressie?

or breasts, however two people choose,

why not get a Bielefelder?

Why not get a, I mean,

there's so many of them out there that

are good meat birds and also good layers.

You could extract the birds from that

system and put some straight up chicken on

the table.

You could also use that system to grow

eggs.

It could all be in the same system

if you so chose,

but we're talking about an acre here.

So let's say you have one area where

you did it exclusively

For your layers and another area where you

did it exclusively for your meat birds,

they will work.

You can put them in the same system

if you want it,

or you could separate the system and it's

going to require a little more work,

but you could do that.

You could absolutely do that or leave

layers in there full time and

Raise up some meat birds when they get

big enough,

then you could transfer them into that

system.

Now, look,

you're going to when you integrate birds,

you got to do it right.

Otherwise,

you're going to have a Brown versus Board

of Education moment in there.

It ain't going to be pretty.

And somebody is going to die.

No doubt about that.

But you could easily take a dual use

bird,

a dual purpose bird and do that very

same.

I'm not a big fan of Cornish crosses,

so I don't raise them.

But yeah, get me a dual purpose bird.

Now we can talk turkey or talk chicken.

So you can use that same exact system

in there.

You could use waste streams from bakeries,

Mexican restaurants, Chipotle.

It doesn't even matter, folks.

I got more food coming in than I

can possibly use.

And then here's the deal.

Like William mentioned a minute ago,

in that system,

you're producing anywhere between one to

three cubic yards of compost per week.

Let's say you got all you need.

Huh?

You think maybe you might be able to

sell that high quality compost?

Maybe you take it,

let it cure a little while.

let it really, you know, be really,

really awesome and all the stuff it needs.

And you might be able to have a

little side hustle on the side there.

So yeah, that's my next one.

The next one that I have, again,

working small and then building our way

out would be Moringa.

This was mentioned actually by someone in

the chat, GDHRT Garden, I think.

Yeah, Moringa.

So this I'm picturing being either grown

like up against the side of your house

like i do here on the south side

of the house or uh on the property's

edge or wherever it may be something

that's not gonna because moringa isn't

gonna take up a bunch of space people

automatically assume because it's a tree

it's gonna take a lot of space not

where you're occupying it takes up a lot

of space above your head depending on

where you live and depending on your

growing season for moringa uh i mean so

for some of you it might make sense

to do just keep moringa in pots because

you're gonna have to move them in and

out during the cold and warm weathers

Uh, but Moringa, uh, there's,

I did a video on how to overwinter

if overwintering has been an issue with

you, um, for you growing Moringa,

but Moringa is super,

super high in protein,

has a bunch of vitamins,

has a bunch of minerals.

I can purify water if you want it

to, uh,

once it's established as drought proof.

I mean,

there's a lot of benefits to Moringa,

everything on the property can eat

Moringa, uh,

I think it's like thirty percent protein

once it's dried.

It's a complete protein as well.

So you're not missing any of those amino

acids.

Yeah, it's amazing.

And it doesn't take up a whole lot

of space,

especially if and that's without even like

training it.

If you trained it,

you could make it take up whatever space

you wanted it to.

And it can act as an overstory.

So if you're where I live here in

Texas, you can use your Moringa.

you know,

composite or polar or composite as you're

going into colder temperatures and then

uncover the mulch as you get into warmer

temperatures.

And then as it grows up,

it's going to provide a canopy for your

animals below it, like chickens,

your smaller animals below it.

Once you start getting into those really,

really hot summer temperatures and it's

going to be just fine during your drop

periods.

So yeah, Moringa,

I can take up as little space or

as much space as you want it to.

Man, when I think of Moringa,

Man,

I know this sounds a little bit out

of whack,

but I guarantee you there's a girl in

the hood named Moringa and Ashwagandha.

Moringa, Ashwagandha, Lavander,

all those names.

It'll be a proud family.

Yeah, it's all there, man.

Real quick,

and we'll cover more of these questions,

but here's one that jumped out,

a question from Amy,

because comfrey has such a deep taproot,

planting in a pot,

does it stun the growth?

Uh, I would say with the pot,

like you just got to water it more.

It's not going to really stunt the growth.

It'll consume that entire pot.

I mean,

most pots that most people are going to

move and pick up and,

and stuff like that.

Like anywhere.

I mean,

if you did a five gallon bucket,

five gallon bucket is going to have

different dimensions than the five gallon

pot.

But if you did a ten gallon pot,

five gallon pot, anything like that,

the country is going to fill that pot.

Now,

I did a consultation for a lady over

in Arkansas who was moving from she moved

from her property in Louisiana,

moved to Arkansas,

and she had all of her trees in

a pot.

Like she was kind of getting ready for

this move to more land and stuff like

that.

So she grew everything in a pot and

she actually did guilds in a pot.

And so she would do.

And she had big like thirty gallon pots.

They needed like equipment to move these

pots.

But she did like an apple tree or

whatever kind of tree.

And then she did four comfrey,

two to four comfrey around that tree in

the pot.

And that whole pot was consumed with just

comfrey.

Like you couldn't see any bare soil.

But keep in mind,

if it's in a pot,

you're going to have to water a lot

more.

It's not going to stop.

Yeah.

Well,

there's also this rumor out there that you

can't plant comfrey too close.

Look, absolute hogwash.

Yeah, that's another story there, Sam.

But I got hit with that one last

week.

Like, oh, the comfrey's too close.

No, it ain't.

It'll do just fine.

Now you go to digging up the roots.

Yeah,

you might have a problem on an application

like that.

And in some ways,

it might actually be preferable.

So, yeah, it's not a problem.

And I've heard that one many times before.

Yeah, Kyle says,

now when I hear Billy talk about William's

mom, I don't feel so uncomfortable.

Thanks for clarifying.

Yep.

All right.

So my next one here, remember, folks,

in permaculture, we stack functions.

We're talking about one acre.

So maybe you don't want to have rabbits

over here, chickens over there.

So you can stack functions.

Let's say you have a little outbuilding.

It's just a little small one there.

And that's where you're going to grow your

chickens.

Let's say you don't want to do the

chicken tractor on steroids.

Let's say you're just going to do a

deep bedding model,

which you can do holistically.

You can absolutely do that holistically.

And I'm going to talk about another animal

in a minute that you wouldn't believe you

could do it with.

Anyway,

let's say you got chickens out there.

You can take a page out of Polyface

and turn it into a racking house,

meaning a cross between a rabbit and a

chicken.

So now all of a sudden you got

rabbits that are above your chickens in

hutches, okay?

That's where they chill.

That's where they like to hang out.

The rabbit poop falls down,

the chickens don't mind,

and it's going to only make better compost

when you finally dig that stuff out of

there.

So the chickens, the rabbits,

they're all occupying the same space.

And like I said, the more manure,

the clean manure you have in there,

the better that compost is going to be,

the better microorganisms you're going to

have in there.

It's only going to work out even better.

If you want to throw some cow poop

in there as well, no problem.

So...

Every once in a while,

you're going to take all that stuff out

of there, and it's – well,

for the most part,

depending on how long you leave it,

it might very well be compost underneath

that top layer.

So anyway,

you're going to have to get in there

every once in a while,

get all that stuff out,

and then you could use it in your

gardens.

But you've got your rabbits above,

and when you talk about rabbits, I mean,

they may be the most land –

Efficient livestock protein source.

I mean,

producing a large amount of meat with a

very small footprint.

And it may be more applicable.

We're talking about an acre,

but you don't need an acre.

You can be doing everything we're talking

about on a half acre or less.

Every single bit of it.

So, yeah, combine some of these things.

I mean, I'm on...

like a third of an acre.

I'm on pretty small acreage,

this house right now.

And everything that we discussed,

except for the sheep,

is doable on this property for sure.

I mean,

I have chickens in the back and that's

not even done efficiently.

Um, but yeah.

And, and if I were to do sheep,

there's a field right across that I'm

with, they just mow.

I'm pretty sure I could convince them to

let me use, uh,

that field for sheep right over there.

Uh, real quick, uh,

G D H R T garden as, uh,

if you have time and it's in alignment

with the show,

could you tell me if duckweed overgrowth

and ponds has a use case?

Uh,

Absolutely.

Duckweed, azolla,

all that green small leaf stuff that grows

on the very, very small leaf stuff.

Some people mistake it as algae growing on

the top of your ponds.

They definitely have a use case.

Again, there's a protein content in them.

I don't know if it's high enough to

add it to the list,

but you could use it for chicken feed.

You could use it to feed if you

had a pond close by and you had

chickens and you're on the small acreage,

you could use the duckweed to feed your

poultry.

Um,

you could use it to feed your rabbits.

Uh,

you could use it as a compost activator.

It's going to be a high nitrogen and

it's going to add a gel component to

your compost.

You could use it as just straight up

chop and drop on your garden if you

wanted to and use it as like a

mulch,

which you're doing two things at the same

time.

You're rehydrating your soils and then

you're also mulching it.

And then you're doing a slow release,

like you're composting in place,

a slow release, fertilizer,

microbial food, all types of stuff.

Um,

So, yeah,

there's a lot of uses for duckweed for

sure.

But the next one on my list is

going to be a squab.

And this is I mean,

you could do anything from just like a

window perch,

like a window type insert thing where you

use your, you know,

your chickens or your squab,

your pigeons mount to that.

And then it's like a chicken coop type

thing.

Mount it out of your window all the

way to like a dedicated coop just right

outside your back door if you wanted to.

But the cool thing with pigeons is like

all you have to do is provide them

a home and they provide everything else

for themselves.

They get their own water.

They build their own nests.

Once they have like a breeding pair,

then they're like mate for life.

Uh, they get their own food.

They get their own food for their young

as well.

Uh,

and if you have like a pair and

you introduce them to a coop and they

take to that coop,

they're going to keep coming back year

after year after year.

And then you can just multiply outward if

you want it to.

And then there's squab.

You're thinking a pigeon ain't much of a

meal.

The, the squab,

which is the teenage pigeon is actually

bigger than his parents at that time.

And then you eat that.

Um, they're ugly things,

so it ain't too difficult to eat them.

They're not cute or anything like that.

You're not thinking, oh,

I can't eat a little baby chicken looking

thing.

Doesn't look like that at all.

You feel like you're putting it out of

its misery whenever you look at that

thing.

So, yeah, squab.

That doesn't take up much space at all.

Here's one right here, folks.

You're going to think I lost my mind,

but I'm telling you, it can be done.

In fact, Jason,

it's so the land recently or not recently,

a couple of years ago, did it.

And, wow,

you can get a whole lot of fat

and get a whole lot of meat,

and that's pigs.

In an area, in a carport – now,

I will qualify this here in a minute

– in a carport –

That's what he had there,

and I want to say it might have

been somewhere in the neighborhood.

The footprint might have been,

I don't know,

maybe sixteen by sixteen somewhere there

about.

But if you were to have an area

about that big that was covered facing to

the south is what I would recommend in

the northern hemisphere.

And the reason why I wouldn't face it

toward the north is that it's just going

to catch a bunch of wind,

but I would face it to the south

because then that way they're not going to

get overheated when the sun rises in the

east, sets in the west.

So, have I lost my mind?

Absolutely not.

And you will never smell them if you

do what I'm telling you.

If you had a couple of pigs,

you could even... Folks, remember,

we're talking an acre.

You could do everything I talked about

here on this one acre easily.

If you had a footprint of a twenty

by twenty,

you might be able to get three or

four pigs up in there.

But you could at least get two.

Now,

depending on the type you get.

And I wouldn't be getting any of these

designer things out there.

I wouldn't be getting a Guinea hog or

anything like that.

Not unless that's what you want, but man,

if you're in it for the meat,

Man,

I don't even want to start thinking about

you could at least get off of each

pig somewhere in the neighborhood of

about, let's say,

let them get up to about three hundred

pounds somewhere thereabouts.

You're getting a hundred pounds of meat

off of each one of them.

And I ain't even counting the fat that

you could render and all the other things.

So anyway, pigs,

you could do everything I just told you

about the chickens.

You can do that with the pigs,

you know, find them.

Or let's say you raised up chickens first.

Here's another little way.

Let's say you had a smaller footprint.

Let's say you raised up a bunch of

meat birds.

They're in a freezer.

You're thinking, okay, man,

I don't want to deal with all that

compost right now.

You know, the deep bedding out there.

Now you run your pigs in there in

the same doggone environment.

And if you have things down there that

are fermenting,

those pigs will tear that place apart

trying to get that corn at the bottom

of there so you can put in some

corn that has now been fermented by the

time those chickens are done.

And it's going to be down there anyway

because if you had feed,

there's going to be some that didn't make

it.

Pigs are going to go down there.

They are going to absolutely turn that

pile like nothing you've ever seen before

just to get a kernel of corn at

the bottom of there that may be

fermenting.

Drives them crazy.

So you could raise them in the very

same deep bedding model that you used on

pigs, on chickens.

You can do it on pigs.

Same exact thing.

So it works well with all omnivores.

You can have them in that area now.

preferably it's always going to be better

if you could have these guys out in

the natural environment,

but it can be done there and, uh,

you know, give them things they can do.

Give them a little ball.

If you have a bigger area, yeah,

you could do it there,

but you want to make sure you keep

down the smell.

So carbon is your best friend in an

area like that.

So you're going to want a good carbon

source, wood chips.

Um, it can be any number of things.

And then ultimately that's going to turn

into compost as well.

That was my last one, son.

if real quick on the wood chip thing

the carbon thing if you've ever looked at

like let's say you chip drop came and

dropped off some wood chips and you're

looking at the pile and you're wondering

hmm i wonder if this is enough wood

chips the answer is always no you never

have enough wood chips the answer is

always going to be no unless you just

literally unless it's cutting off access

if it's cutting off access then it's

you're you're good you have enough

But if it's not cutting off access and

it ain't catching fire and it's not near

a fire source, no,

you do not have enough wood chips.

And then we had a question earlier.

I don't know who asked it,

but they were asking,

is it best for the rabbits to raise

them in a small cage?

It doesn't seem humane.

Believe it or not, some people will say,

I would say if the rabbits can get

on the ground somehow doing like a rabbit

tractor,

that's always going to be a better option

than raising them in the cages.

But some people say the rabbits are

actually happier in a smaller confined

space because they're bottom of the food

chain prey.

And if they're in a big open space,

they're not going to get relaxed.

They're not going to get comfortable

because they're in a big open space and

they're vulnerable.

But if they're in some sort of cage

like that,

they actually feel safer and become a lot

more comfortable.

I did hear about this one lady who

was trying to do like a...

free range rabbitry or whatever.

And she had a lot of open space

for them to run around.

And I think she was intending for them

to graze, but her, uh,

fertility rates went way up once she

started enclosing the rabbits.

Um,

I don't know what that means for the

rabbits, but it just,

I think it shows that they like smaller

confined spaces compared to those big open

spaces.

uh but the next uh if that's the

last one for you then i'll just do

the last ones that i have written down

and keep in mind everything that we've

listed here today could all fit on one

properly designed property like it's not

like you have to pick one or two

from what we've listed and then apply

those to your small property everything

we've listed and more can be done on

a one acre property um next one i

had uh kind of goes hand in hand

sunflowers

uh and legumes you can use they can

occupy the same dog on space they're both

producing protein sunflower the heads of

them the seeds produce a decent amount of

protein uh everything that we've listed so

far will eat sunflower heads as well i

remember being shocked how much uh the

sheep ate on the sunflowers i thought they

were just gonna eat some of the leaves

They left nubs.

I don't know how they got those sunflower

heads,

but they figured it out and they got

nubs.

They left nubs afterwards.

Your chickens will go crazy for them.

Your pigs will go crazy for them.

All of your birds will go crazy for

sunflower seeds.

Get your sunflowers established first and

then grow your legumes at the base of

your sunflowers.

The legumes can climb up your sunflowers,

occupying less total space than if you

were to do a trellis.

Or if you were to do some other

separate system for your legumes.

I say legumes broadly because they're all

generally higher in protein.

And depending on where you live determines

which legume you're going to go with.

And then another one that I had is

quail, which is another small bird that,

I mean...

if you wanted to you could raise inside

your house if you wanted to but that's

going to be funky if you've ever had

a chicken brooder in your house you know

how funky these birds can get even when

you're staying on top of it so quail

if you want to inside the house but

coil for sure outside the house um i

wouldn't say that the most efficient

protein source that you could grow on your

property but they're definitely something

you can supplement your protein with

another one is ducks again

Ducks require more square footage per duck

than chickens do, in my opinion.

Chickens can...

cohabitate with certain systems like lawn

systems,

ducks cohabitate with like forested and

pond systems,

and they will poop on and flatten

everything else.

Uh, and their poop is slippery.

So like, I remember at Jeff Lawton's,

when we're trying to fit in the numbers

on the Muscovy ducks, uh,

we were slipping and sliding all over the

place.

And we just, you,

you have to accept the fact that you

have to take a shower after working with

ducks.

especially if you're trying to catch them

in their pens.

But ducks, they can maintain,

like a lot of people,

let's say they have a small pond.

People will get like in the teens worth

of ducks or twenty ducks thinking it takes

that many ducks to maintain that pond.

Very few ducks are required to maintain a

pond because they do so much damage.

They flatten so much.

They poop on so much.

They do so much damage.

Granted,

they're not tilling things up like

chickens would or scratch things up like

chickens would or even pecking holes in

things like chickens would,

but they will flatten and poop on

everything.

So all that to say is that all

of this needs to be properly designed.

Without proper design,

all of this is going to fail.

These are all just different cogs that you

can put in the wheel of your particular

piece of property.

Man,

I wish we did have a call-in show,

man.

So many good ideas out here in the

chat.

Here's one I didn't know.

Moringa can be used as a microgreen.

I did not know that.

Let's see here.

What else we got here?

My daughter treats it like a microgreen.

Every single day,

she'll grab a couple of leaves.

Now that the trees are outside,

we have to wait until she's outside,

but she'll grab a couple of leaves and

hand a couple to everybody and say,

eat this.

We'll wait there until you do eat it.

How big does comfrey need to be when

first growing before you start taking

leaves to use?

It really doesn't.

I mean,

there's people out there telling you that

it's got to be a certain size or

whatever.

It's never mattered.

I mean, let's say a foot, you know,

when you get some leaves on there,

you know, remember,

we don't want to rape the environment.

You just take what you need and then

leave some back, you know,

so you don't maybe got multiple plants

where you can get those from.

I think we may have gotten through.

Let's see here.

I want rabbits from Manitou.

Yeah, okay.

I think you already covered that one.

Yeah,

we got to see about doing a call-in

show, man, because there are so many.

Okay, here's another one from Amy.

Question,

do sheep require a livestock guardian dog?

Depends on where you are.

Remember, you're on one acre.

Maybe you're surrounded by a bunch of

one-acre places.

I like them for multiple reasons because

those livestock guardian dogs even chase

off birds of prey if you get a

good one.

Milk Boy does that.

If there's any hawks flying over,

believe me,

he's over there yelling at them.

So you can use them for multiple things.

It depends.

That's one of those answers I know nobody

wants to hear, but yes,

it really does depend.

And something that might be

counterproductive to that or

counterintuitive to that would be I would

need a livestock guardian dog more if I

were to graze that pasture right across

the street from me than if I were

in the middle of nowhere because of the

amount of factor in not only your natural

predators and stuff,

but also how many dogs are running loose.

Because if I put sheep in that field

right across me and I don't put a

livestock guardian dog out there,

Those sheep are going to get all kinds

of mess with.

They're going to get pushed out of the

fencing.

They're going to get attacked in certain

cases.

And also,

the livestock guardian dog is going to be

working more here than he would be in

the middle of nowhere.

Keep in mind that they've got a pretty

loud bark.

If you've got a great Pyrenees,

that bark can...

echo for a long, long way.

So if you're in a neighborhood or you

got people close around you,

you're going to be keeping them up at

night because they're going to be hearing

things that may not be an immediate

threat.

They'll hear things in the distance and

they're going to bark and they're going to

react to it.

So just keep that in mind.

All right.

I want to thank everybody for checking

this out.

Remember,

check out the Sovereign Health Summit for

all of you folks out there that are

Man, in this time, in this world,

you wonder why we talk about health so

much on this podcast.

Well,

it's becoming a more and more and more

toxic world.

Things are getting crazier and crazier

every day.

But, man,

it's such a joy to be able to

come on here and talk about some of

the solutions.

All right, y'all.

Until next time, stay alert.

Stay alive.

Thank you.

Listen to the earth, they've got us.

Let's seize the chance.

Watch the world spin.

From the smallest sprout to the harmony

begin.

In the cycle of life,

where the magic's alive.

Turn it to the beat.

Feel the fire inside.

So much wisdom.
