welcome to episode of the permaculture

pimp cast where pimp stands for

permaculture is my passion the only pimp

cast on this earth that discusses

permaculture preparedness practical living

and sometimes

Oh, good to be here with everybody today,

the day after this holiday weekend.

Well, this episode, as always,

brought to you by the Sovereign Health

Summit.

That's going to be October twenty seventh

through the thirty first and TPC Tango

Papa Charlie will get you five percent

off.

If you want to be there live, wonderful.

We got tickets online for that.

If you want to be there virtually,

we got that covered too.

So be there, be square.

TPC will get you five percent off.

Also, Nessa's hemp.

Yeah,

I've been using that stuff pretty much

every single day for months and months and

months now because it does make a

difference, especially with my sleep.

So perma will get you ten percent off.

You know,

it also it's really good if you got

to be around a bunch of people that

are going to try your patients.

You might want to take a dropper full

of that stuff before you go around them.

All right, y'all,

I'm going to be riding solo today.

William is in transit right now,

so he can't be on here with us.

All right.

I want to thank everybody in the chat

here.

If you have any questions,

make sure you put them in capital letters

so I can see them with these birth

control glasses.

So, all right,

I'll just jump right into it.

Man,

am I the only one out there that

just kind of wasn't feeling it this whole

Fourth of July?

I mean,

judging by that fair that they had in

D.C., I mean,

apparently a whole I think I saw twelve

people out there at this thing.

Twelve, maybe twenty.

And I'm sitting here watching Dr. Oz lie.

And, you know, he's on there,

he's on the stage and he's like, wow,

look at this crowd.

And then somebody else with the cameras

like pointing around like, dude,

what are you talking about?

There's like maybe fifteen people out of

here.

Anyway,

I don't think that I'm the only one

not feeling it.

I'm wondering how many other people.

Yeah.

Well, oh,

somebody from Western Permaculture

Healing, Western Massachusetts.

Yeah,

I got family over there in Western

Massachusetts.

So...

Yeah, you know,

speaking of Western Massachusetts or all

of Massachusetts where all of this began,

you know, some of the biggest, you know,

people like John Adams, man, they were,

you know, Samuel Adams, you know,

they were cousins, man.

And they they were at the forefront of

this whole thing.

And it just feels like everything's just,

I don't know, man.

I'm just wondering.

Let me know in the chat, folks.

Are you guys with it?

Because I remember the bicentennial.

I was a little sprout at that time,

but I still remember how big a deal

it was growing up.

And they had all these commemorative

things on certain things.

And I remember it just being a really,

really big deal back in nineteen seventy

six.

Here we are, fifty years later, and wow,

it just I don't know about y'all,

but man, I'm just not feeling it.

Feels like everything is just not what the

founding fathers would want it to be,

especially you don't have to go that far

back to look at it.

But considering how bastardized they have

our history,

it's a wonder most people don't even know

about it.

I mean, for example,

let me just hit this one up, y'all,

real quick.

So everybody says we fought the revolution

over no taxation without representation.

You know,

it's kind of absurd when you stop to

think about it.

Okay, let me ask everybody out there.

When is the last time you ever made

a list of grievances and buried the most

important thing that you had to say about

your grievances in the middle of a

document?

Because if you go there and read it,

you'll find out number seventeen,

if I'm not mistaken on the list,

is no taxation without representation.

In most cases,

in every single example I could ever think

of throughout history,

if you had a list of grievances,

you're going to put the most important

thing either at the very beginning or at

the end to put an exclamation point on

it.

And in a lot of cases,

you'll reiterate it at the beginning and

end.

But why is no taxation without

representation number seventeen on the

list?

And nobody seems to know that.

Go read the document for yourself, folks.

I came out with this a couple of

years ago, and then lo and behold,

a bunch of other YouTube channels started

cutting and pasting what I was saying

about it.

Of course, didn't offer any attribution,

but I ought to be used to that

by now.

But the point being,

when has anybody ever taught you that?

It was no taxation without representation.

Well, like I said,

that was number seventeen on the list.

Another thing, Fourth of July.

Yeah,

that's when the document was officially

drawn up,

but folks didn't actually sign it until

about the second, if I'm not mistaken,

of August,

but we celebrated on Fourth of July.

Folks, if you only knew,

there is a really good documentary I think

everybody ought to watch.

Now,

if you're brainwashed through American

history like most of Americans are,

you're not going to want to watch this,

but it's called The Hidden Faith of the

Founding Fathers.

And go there and look at the sources,

look at what they talk about.

And it's a hundred and eighty degrees out

of phase with what David Barton says, who,

by the way, is just I don't know,

in my in my view,

he is definitely not who he pretends to

be.

And I can give you a long list

of reasons why.

But anyway.

Go look at the Hidden Faith of the

Founding Fathers.

It's a really good documentary.

It's long.

And it's just the facts, man,

kind of thing.

It's not skillfully put together like a

lot of other documentaries out there.

But go and verify or try to disprove

things like, you know,

guys who recorded everything like Charles

Thompson.

One of the founding fathers that you never

heard of,

he was basically the recording secretary

of the whole thing.

Basically wrote in his own memoirs.

There was, first of all,

nobody had more accurate records of what

went on during that whole time during the

revolution than Charles Thompson.

And look at what he wrote about it.

He was going to write a tell-all book,

I mean, with reams and reams.

It would have been a magnus opus for

him.

He was going to...

Write this down and reveal what really

happened during the revolution.

And then he writes,

and I'm going to paraphrase it.

Basically, he says, you know what?

I can't just screw up the official

narrative at this point,

so I'm going to burn all these documents.

And that's exactly what he did.

So there's a whole lot that happened

during that time,

a whole lot you've been told about the

founding fathers,

a whole lot of things that they've written

that have never seen the light of day.

But you can find these documents if you

go to look.

And those are just some of the things,

you know,

I just wanted to point out there.

I mean,

there's a whole host of other things that

I could honestly bring out regarding that

whole time.

But most people do not know this stuff.

And so we just blindly believe what

everybody's told us about everything.

Anyway, a lot of these guys,

I'm not going to take anything away from

them right now.

The documents they produced, actually,

the Articles of Confederation is more what

I'd like to go back to.

And by the way,

did you know you can't find an original

document of the Articles of Confederation

anywhere?

Not the Library of Congress, not anywhere.

Did you know that?

Huh.

People like Eustace Mullins.

And, you know,

he blew the whistle on that.

And there was a number of other historians

out there that have kind of rewritten what

we think we know about everything,

especially regarding the Revolution,

World War II.

Everything that you've been told is what

is what.

You know, it's a lie agreed upon.

And I can't remember who that dictator

was.

Man, he's from France.

I can't even think of his name.

But that's exactly what a lot of American

history is.

Oh, my goodness.

Yeah.

If y'all can hear that,

I don't know if you can or not.

We are getting another storm that's

passing by.

So, yeah.

Yeah.

So it is what it is.

All right.

I could honestly spend this whole show

talking about a lot of occulted history,

meaning hidden history that you don't know

about.

You weren't taught about.

And there's a reason why you don't know

about it.

All those things on the dollar bill.

I probably ought to consider another

podcast to really get into all this stuff

because it really needs to get out there.

All right,

so some sad news here on the farm.

We had a little lamb that didn't make

it.

She was one of the triplets that came

from this same mom.

And apparently, according to Michelle,

every single,

it seems like any problem children we've

ever had have come out of this mom.

Even though she gave us triplets this last

time, she's going in the freezer.

Look, folks,

this is exactly what you got to do

when you have an animal that is not

up to snuff,

that is not cutting the mustard.

If you don't process these animals or take

them to the sale barn or something,

if you don't do that,

you're going to have a petting zoo.

You're going to have a bunch of animals

that need constant crutches.

And that's exactly where you don't want to

be,

especially in light of the times we're in.

You need animals that are hardy,

that can make it,

that don't require a whole lot of

So anyway, I took that little lamb and,

you know, put her into the compost pile,

you know, as the great Jeff Lawton says,

if it lived, it can live again.

If it lived, it can live again.

So that's one way you can kind of,

you know,

Michelle gets a little bit tight with

these things, you know,

and she gets really close with these

animals.

But anyway,

I got her out there in the compost

and she'll contribute that way.

So, yeah, that's unfortunate.

Let's see what else we got going on

out here.

I'm trying to get out here and weed

eat, but every time I turn around, y'all,

I don't know about where it is where

you are.

I'm thankful to have the moisture,

but good night, man.

It's like every single time I get ready

to go out and go get some things

done, here comes the rain again.

I'm not going to complain because I know

there's a whole lot of people right now

wishing they had the rain we're getting

right now.

Anyway,

I was going to get some weed eating

done.

That didn't really work out.

All right, so here's some other stuff.

Michelle, for the last couple of days,

really the last three days,

she wasn't feeling really well.

She got back from New York to go

watch our niece graduate,

but I'll bet money she was in a

room with a bunch of vaxxed up people

and she got shit on.

And so it's funny because Mike Adams said

he went exactly through the same exact

thing, and it had like a latency period.

Five days later,

now all of a sudden you're coming down

with some stuff.

She really had it bad yesterday and the

day before.

She's starting to come out of it right

now, but typically with her,

you can't keep her still.

I'm trying to tell her, hey, calm down,

sit still,

and even though you're not feeling well,

and she is the worst patient ever.

Worst patient ever.

You try to tell her, hey, sit down,

chill.

I got everything.

Nope, she won't do it.

So anyway,

she's getting on the mend right now.

But folks,

make sure you take those precautions

because the only time I think either one

of us gets sick is when we go

out in the general population, you dig?

All right,

so here's some other stuff going on,

folks.

Okay, it wasn't just Dr.

Ruby when I had her on the show

the other day.

And by the way, folks,

if you haven't listened to it,

go back and check it out.

you know a few articles of clothing made

out of linen i bought some shorts which

i'm wearing right now and i bought a

shirt i bought two pairs of shorts and

a shirt and um i got the stuff

that was pretty highly touted and verified

um just to see what would happen now

dr ruby was talking about the frequencies

and of course i've you know the highest

frequency out there is linen

And then right underneath that,

or some would say even on the same

level, would be wool,

and then so on and so forth.

It's all your natural fibers.

And of course,

there is no frequency worth a hoot that's

in any of your man-made fibers.

So I said, you know what,

let me go ahead.

I went to the farmer's market,

and I said, okay,

I'm going to put on these shorts.

I'm already grounded.

Now I'm waiting on these grounded

flip-flops that I ordered to show up.

But I got on a linen shirt and

I got on some linen shorts.

Folks, I'm not even going to kid you.

I'm honestly convinced that it made a lot

of difference in my, not just my vitality,

but seriously,

I think it made a massive difference in,

how do I say it?

I mean,

I just felt like a million bucks while

I was wearing it.

So I'm doing more tests right now.

Like I said, I'm wearing it right now,

but I kind of regular cotton shirt on

right now.

So, um, yeah,

I ordered a few more shirts and I'm

going to see exactly how this goes.

I'm going to have to go down to

the five at five and dime.

They got all these thrift stores around

here.

I wonder if I can't pick up some

linen in there.

Man,

I'm almost afraid of what I'll find in

there.

I'll walk out of that place looking like

Prince on a Purple Rain album or

something.

Anyway, I think I'll go check it out.

I had some linen years ago, but honestly,

my younger brother took me to go get

it one time,

and I remember we were going to Mexico,

and he was talking about how great this

stuff was.

And I remember just I would look at

myself in the mirror,

and I looked like somebody that ought to

be pulling a rickshaw in Calcutta.

So I got rid of that stuff.

I mean,

I probably gave it to the – somebody

else is wearing it right now.

I'm wishing I had it today.

But that was some highfalutin stuff.

I don't recall it costing that much money

back then.

So anyway, I'm wearing this stuff,

and here's another thing.

When you wear silk and when you wear

linen, unless you're – I mean,

I guess a lot of women out there

kind of know this,

but guys typically don't wear silk and

linen –

When you do it,

it is a weird feeling when you go

in public because it feels like you're

walking around naked,

especially with silk.

Now, silk long johns,

those are my favorite by far.

If you've got to wear long johns,

always wear silk if you can possibly

because it's not itchy on your skin,

number one.

number two they're very very insulating

with very little material and um you don't

even know they're there but honestly yeah

i love some silk long johns all right

so here's some other things going on

around here um still doing that experiment

with the silica now i got to be

careful about how i say this online um

yeah uh somebody else is laughing like a

rickshaw calcutta that's exactly what it

looked like i looked like

you know like somebody just stepped off

the boat and i was like yeah this

ain't my style man i'm a country boy

i don't you're gonna catch me walking

around like this but anyway got rid of

it so here we are silica i've been

doing that experiment and the in the

diatomaceous earth i've been taking

started with about one teaspoon then i was

taking two and according to the people at

um

I got the idea from the people at

the human garage.

And then also, in addition to that,

they were talking about the best way to

get some of your minerals.

And I did some research on this was

through that Irish sea moss,

which it turns out, yeah,

ninety two minerals in there.

I mean,

that's more than a lot of salts out

there.

Most of them, in fact.

And I said, you know what?

Let me go and give this stuff a

shot.

And folks, I'm here to tell you,

after a few weeks of doing this,

I think I'm seeing massive improvement.

And why am I doing this?

Because I was listening to the latest

interview that William did,

and he was with Logan from Sewing

Prosperity.

They were at Logan's Market in Arkansas.

And they were both discussing how great we

felt in El Salvador,

despite the fact that we were eating –

Believe me,

we were not eating in accordance to what

we should have.

We just ate anything we wanted because you

felt like a million bucks down there

because you have adequate sunlight,

magnetism that's off the charts,

and we were drinking really good water in

most places.

So they were talking about, man,

how good it feels.

And then all of a sudden,

I come back here,

and I think a lot of you would

have the same exact phenomenon unfold.

Get back here,

and then all of a sudden,

saying, man,

why do I go back to feeling yucky

again?

Michelle's vision had improved perfectly

down there.

We get back, and inside of two weeks,

she had to put glasses back on.

You tell me something ain't going on here.

And a lot of it, in my opinion,

has to do with what's going on out

there.

But anyway, back to the silica.

So the people at the Human Garage,

they got kicked off of YouTube for talking

about, and like I said,

I got a tap dance around this.

They were talking about how one of the

things that they're dropping,

everybody knows they're dropping aluminum,

barium, and strontium, okay?

That's just what we know of,

not to mention all the nanotech that's up

there too.

And they had talked about,

and they had had a number of scientific

people working for them to confirm that

that barium is basically removing a lot of

the silica from you.

And that this was the best way to

put it back in you.

I got to be honest with y'all, y'all.

Y'all, y'all.

I got to be honest with you.

I've been doing this stuff for about,

I think, three weeks now.

And I feel like I am feeling a

massive difference in it.

And I'm going to keep working for a

while.

I know silica doesn't work overnight.

But I'm doing that along with that Irish

sea moss.

I'm using the gel.

You can find some of that at Whole

Foods or something like that.

But

Doing the both of them,

and I feel like I'm seeing a whole

lot of improvement in a massive way.

And now I'm also doing the protocol, too,

with the fascia work,

with the exercises and all.

I'm doing that two, three, four,

five times a day as often as I

can.

And I really think I'm seeing a big,

big difference.

I'll let you all know.

I'll keep you informed.

you know,

abreast of what's going on out there.

So I'm trying to figure out how this

thing works with the whole cell salts

thing and everything.

I'm looking into the cell salts and

friends down the road,

hook me up with a book and I'm

working my way through it to try to

figure out, look,

the more and more I see,

when I see MD out there for the

most part, this isn't in every case,

but in most of them that I'm aware

of,

they seem to think it stands for medical

deity.

And in most cases,

I think it stands for mighty dumb because

they dismiss,

What nature can do.

And that right there, I mean,

especially coming from somebody like me,

where I don't do anything.

I do not do anything.

And I'm going to come to this here

in a second in a bigger way.

I don't do anything that's officially

proclaimed.

I can't think of anything.

And certainly not with farming.

Whatever they tell me to do,

I'm doing the polar opposite of it, okay?

And it seems to be working out pretty

well.

So why on earth would I consider doing

that with my animals or my health?

It was Dr.

Joel Wallach who pointed out something I

think all of us should know.

If we treated our livestock animals in the

same condition that we do humans,

a pound of ground beef would cost you

two hundred bucks a pound.

Think about it.

Think about it.

So they got to use natural means to

keep all these animals.

It's called the law of the minimum, y'all.

And through the law of the minimum,

you find out the minimum standards that

you need for pretty much everything out

there,

kind of like homeopathy does to a certain

extent.

And then you work from there.

So if you're not getting the things that

you need,

then maybe that's where you ought to start

instead of saying, hey, oh,

I got this problem here.

And the doc says, here, take these pills.

No, I don't think so.

I think Dr.

Wallach really brought it home when I

first heard him say that, you know,

if we charged,

if we treated animals the same way,

your meat would be two hundred bucks a

pound.

That is pretty astonishing when you stop

to think about that.

All right.

So here's the last thing I'm going to

talk about in terms of the farm news.

And I'll bet money most of you never

heard anything about it.

This is and I'm going to read this

Trump's National Fertilizer Emergency

Declaration.

Anybody heard about that?

Bet you didn't.

Because if I'm not mistaken,

I think it came out on Friday,

you know, dumping day,

when they don't want anybody to report it,

especially on a holiday weekend.

In a nutshell,

closing down the Straits of Hormuz just

happened to be,

and we've talked about it before,

had to be a really, really big problem.

And I'm starting to wonder right now,

I'm really getting to the point right now

where I'm wondering how much of this whole

oil thing is a ruse.

Because according to their numbers,

we should have been running out in certain

places long before now.

Australia shouldn't even have any oil.

They were supposed to run out, what,

a month ago?

They still got oil.

All these places,

Bangladesh and a number of others,

I think there's some skullduggery being

played here.

And I think there's a game that we

don't know the full extent of.

But one of the things coming out of

that Gulf is going to be a lot

of fertilizers, nitrogen-based,

phosphorus-based, you named it.

It's all coming out of there.

So Trump put out this national

declaration,

National Fertilizer Emergency Declaration,

that nobody's talking about,

nobody on Fix News or MSNBC or any

of them.

Nobody's talking about what that means for

you and me.

You're not going to necessarily see

shortages to the extent that you're going

to see in Africa,

but you're going to see limits on things.

I'm going to make a prediction that by

next harvest season, not this year,

but next year,

you're going to see locusts that probably

rival what we saw during the exodus.

Because all of a sudden,

we're going to find out,

probably in a big way,

maybe next year or the year after,

you know,

we live in the United States of amnesia,

so nobody's going to remember anything.

We're going to find out that this is

going to create a food calamity like

nothing we've ever seen before.

It's already there.

Just it's a slow rolling train.

You don't know until it arrives a long

time later.

But yeah.

National emergency on fertilizer,

and nobody's talking about it.

Do you not think that is newsworthy?

Apparently,

none of the prostitute media thinks so.

And like I said,

I include fixed news in there as well,

along with MSNBC and all the rest of

them.

That should be front page news everywhere,

but nobody's talking about it.

Going back to what I said before,

Folks,

I just mentioned a moment ago that I

don't do anything in accordance to the

national zeitgeist.

If I see everybody doing a certain thing,

it is a big,

big warning for me to do the polar

opposite of everything.

And I mean, folks,

when I say everything I'm talking,

I spent time trying to think about it.

Is there anything I do in accordance to

what everybody else does?

No,

and there's been a couple of times as

of late where I caught myself where I

might be.

So I'm like, oh, no,

you better scale this.

Pull the reins back, brother,

because something stinks.

And this is exactly what I'm talking

about, folks.

So I said all that to say this.

They tell you to go out there,

go buy Miracle-Gro, go buy this,

go buy that.

All it's doing is putting salts in your

soil,

most of which the plants can't even take

up.

Because what these companies fail to tell

you is that they get most of their

nutrients.

If they're going to get it from the

soil,

it has to be done at a microbial

level.

It means that green plant hands out a

shopping list to your bacteria and fungi.

They go out and get that shopping list

because they're like, okay,

I want to be fed,

so this green thing needs to feed me.

I need the exudates coming off this green

whatever it is.

So I'm going to go,

and then we're going to multiply to get

even more of it.

Well, what happens?

All the things that are higher up in

the taxonomy, they eat up those animals,

and that exchange is what creates things

that are bioavailable for your plants out

there.

When you go out there and put salts

in the soil,

which is what that miracle grow and all

the rest of it is,

you are putting yourself back.

That's why I'm telling everybody,

ditch all that garbage.

Make your own compost.

Do it as holistically as you possibly can.

Folks,

William and I got video and video after

video after video of how to do this

in such a way to where no matter

what comes down,

you shouldn't even notice because you

shouldn't be using it anyway.

You don't need it.

And it's only destroying your soil.

so i said all that to say that

look there's an antidote and it's knowing

how to make your own compost it's knowing

not to leave the soil bare it's all

these other things out there folks that

are not difficult that our ancestors did

forever in a day but we do have

something of a renaissance of people

trying to rediscover this stuff it's

available out there but sadly most people

are not going to wake up to any

of this

Until it lands flat on, you know,

until it hits solid in the grocery store.

All right.

So with that said, y'all,

mountain readiness,

July twenty fourth through the twenty

sixth.

That's going to be in Swan Lake, Montana.

Yeah.

Get on up there, folks.

You might want to see what's left of

that glacier before it's all gone.

The way things are going right now,

this I don't know, this El Nino,

El Nino, whatever the case may be.

You know, whatever's going on,

it ain't going to be there much longer.

So if you want to get up there,

go check it out.

Plus,

you are going to get some fantastic

instruction.

All right.

Also, EMF Rocks,

ten percent off with promo code perma.

I got one right here by my feet

and right next to it sitting on top

of it.

I got a grounding.

I got a grounding mat from Redemption

Shield.

You know me.

I'm G'd up from the feet up, y'all.

And that means grounded.

Ten percent off with promo code perma.

And then finally, Soil Saviors.

We got a link for it down below,

folks.

If you can't make that compost I'm talking

about,

that's going to be your next best bet.

All right.

So let's go into the good news right

quick.

Okay.

Okay.

Amy's saying, question,

before I get into that,

can you please elucidate the difference

between fertilizer and compost extract,

please?

And thank you for putting in capital

letters as I can see it.

Okay.

Okay.

The fertilizer that they're getting from

the store,

they're making it through what's called

the Haber-Bosch process.

Basically, nitrogen-based fertilizers,

guys over there in Germany basically came

up with this process of taking that

nitrogen,

being able to put it in a usable

form that farmers could use.

And it was after World War II that

a lot of this stuff started hitting the

market.

Up until that time, compost, manure,

that was the way we got things done.

And then, you know,

it got to the point where it's become

a really, really, really big problem.

So fertilizer and compost extract.

What I'm doing with the compost extract,

fertilizer,

just look at that as some man-made salt

that you're going to put down there.

Yeah,

it'll help your plants to a certain

degree,

but they're not getting any of the stuff.

Yeah, they're getting NPK.

But that's all they're getting.

You know how many other things that are

down there?

These aggregates that are in that soil

cannot be unlocked unless it's done by

microorganisms.

Your bacteria and the fungi are the only

things that can do that.

So instead of just getting NPK down in

there,

you're getting the whole kaleidoscope of

everything that's available in that soil.

Remember those ninety two minerals I was

talking about that you're getting from

Irish sea moss?

Well,

that's exactly what these guys are doing.

Whether it's sand, silk, clay,

or a combination of them,

it doesn't matter.

These guys will flocculate clay.

They will do all kinds of stuff to

make that stuff bioavailable for your

plants.

And that is the difference.

And then the extract,

all we're doing is taking that compost.

And to a certain extent,

we're stripping off the microorganism and

putting them in the aqueous solution.

That's a fancy way of saying,

you know what?

I'm putting them in water.

Make sure you're not using chlorinated or

fluoridated water because that's going to

ruin the whole process.

Put them in a four hundred micron bag.

Squeeze it really good.

Water should turn brown instantly.

If it doesn't,

you don't have good compost.

OK,

that's your fulvic and humic acids coming

out of there.

Squeeze that stuff really good.

I usually fill up the bag five or

six times.

You know, dilute it a little bit,

put it in some watering cans and then

go out and hit these beds.

That's how I roll with it.

All right.

So, man.

Oh, shoot, man.

These questions are coming out of the

woodwork.

OK,

how would I compost or use pine sawdust

for my sawmill?

OK, David,

you're going to have a high nitrogen

content.

to carbon ratio when it comes to things

like um when it comes to things like

saw or sawdust so what i would do

is probably let that saw dust i would

leave it outside let it age a while

that's the problem unless you get some

You really want all of the woods that

you're going to use in your compost,

if at all possible,

you want it as aged as possible.

If it has fungi growing on it,

that's even better.

So I would age that stuff long before

I would ever stick that in there.

And you're going to have to use it

sparingly because the high nitrogen to

carbon ratio is through the roof on that

kind of stuff,

especially if it's really fresh.

So it's going to be something of a

tricky thing.

You could go out there and sprinkle it

on the surface somewhere.

I would go very lightly with it.

I don't know that I would put that

necessarily in my compost pile,

not unless it was in a big pile

with a bunch of other things.

Or you could put it in an existing

compost pile.

Just kind of go very, very,

very easy with that stuff because it will

kind of take over and it'll cool your

fire faster than anything.

Okay, how would I compost?

Okay, got that one.

Let's see here.

Question.

If you wear shoes while moving the sheep,

what brand?

Okay, Lyndon.

Okay, yeah,

it's hard for me to see with these

glasses.

Anyway, yeah,

I wear shoes out there because there are

going to be some stickers and stuff on

the ground.

That's pretty much the only time,

for the most part,

during the day that I wear shoes.

I wear rubber boots in the morning,

and that's a zero-sum game,

and I don't wear them long.

Because the way it works is we go

out there, we go get these chores done.

As soon as we're done,

we're timing the sunlight when it should

be coming over the mountain.

And we will take those boots off,

take off every bit of clothing I can,

and my pants are around my ankles,

and I'm literally looking right at the

sun, at the sun as it's rising,

if I possibly can,

if there's not chemtrails in the distance.

You know, we're cool above the house,

but that's not where the sun's rising.

So anyway, I'm barefoot out there.

And then when I am out and about,

I have these little grounding straps you

can get from, oh shoot,

I think you can get them from Amazon.

So you can ground them from the inside

of your shoe all the way around until

it comes out on the bottom.

Now you ain't going to keep it long

if you're walking on concrete,

but that is one of the tricks and

one of the tactics you can do out

there.

Another method is somebody else has this

means where you can put like a rivet

or

through your shoe.

And I've, I've never done those,

but I've whole,

I've been told that those actually work.

Uh, Billy, you're promoting stop.

What we saw a YouTube sponsor.

Yeah.

Apparently,

apparently somebody has been taking my

likeness.

I was going to do a whole video

about this.

Somebody has taken my likeness and made AI

out of it and have me endorsing products

that I haven't endorsed.

Um, I don't know who did.

Sorry, y'all.

I need some water.

Um,

Yeah, stopwatch.

Yeah,

somebody else hit me up about this saying,

hey,

I didn't know you were promoting this

product.

No, I didn't.

Somebody took my likeness and is out there

putting AI together,

and apparently I've been in a number of

commercials I don't know about,

and I certainly ain't been paid for it,

so I don't know what's going on there.

It's getting absolutely crazy.

Yeah, Juby Joe says, yeah,

it's hot as hell in Tennessee,

and the humidity is atrocious.

Check this out.

Dane Wigington says,

They've been playing with my emails as of

late, y'all.

I want to let everybody know this.

They have been playing with my emails like

nothing you could imagine.

Dane Wigington sent me an email, what,

six days ago,

asking me to do a little experiment

concerning the weather because they have

been,

and Williams talked about this a number of

times on this podcast,

where they're lying about what the real

weather conditions are.

Dane is finding out left and right and

left and right that it is way hotter

than they are admitting.

And they're lying to everybody about it.

So he was wanting me to do a

couple of things.

But like I said,

I didn't get that email until today.

But yeah, Juby Joe, you're right.

It's way worse than they're telling

people.

And they're absolutely lying about it.

Hey,

did you mention the brand of Irish sea

moss?

Hey, Alabama says, no, I didn't.

That Irish sea moss I use,

I got it.

I got a couple of them, actually.

There is a link to one when you

get the hydration protocol from the human

garage.

go to their website and get their

hydration protocol for free.

They suggest a brand there.

So I ordered that,

but while I was waiting on it to

get here, I went down to, oh,

what was it, Whole Foods?

And believe it or not,

the stuff I got off the shelf,

Don't recall the name of the brand,

but it comes in a jar and it's

a gel that's also mixed with spirulina.

And I looked at all the other stuff

in there.

So it's a pretty good product.

And I'll take a couple of teaspoons of

that twice a day, three times sometimes.

So yeah,

I don't have the name of the brand,

but if you go to their website,

they'll get you squared away.

Let's see here.

I use Michael Reza in my garden.

Is that good?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's also, oh, my man,

Steve Hall in the house.

Yeah, AI pimping along here.

So that wasn't you promoting enlargement

devices.

No, no, that was not me.

I don't know what's going on,

but apparently I've been in a number of

commercials that I don't know about.

And I don't even think I'm allowed to

do anything about it.

I don't even think legally I could do

anything about it.

Yet a number of people have hit me

up about that and it just got lost.

So Linda says it's a hundred six in

the shade here in mid Arizona.

According to Dane, it is much hotter.

In fact, in DC the other day,

I think he clocked it somewhere around a

hundred and twenty two.

And the local media was saying it was

considerably lower.

Folks,

they are playing games in a big way.

They're creating that lensing effect with

the garbage they're spraying above.

It is a big, big, big, big problem.

And sadly,

most people out there don't know,

don't care,

and don't want to know or care.

All right,

so I'm going to the good news here.

Okay,

here's one of the hidden advantages of

intermittent fasting.

Why timing your meals could be better than

counting calories.

Look, if you read this study,

You're going to find out that in counting

calories, number one,

there's only twenty four hours in a day.

It's kind of cool and it's easier to

maintain if you tell somebody,

you know what,

only eat something between this hour and

this hour.

For me,

I usually don't eat anything until about

ten a.m.

and one day a week.

I'll change that up.

But I usually don't eat anything till

about ten a.m.

and I stop eating at about five.

But

And I've talked about this before.

You got to be careful about being on

the same schedule for so long.

And Dr.

Mindy Peltz has talked about this

extensively.

So what you ought to do,

or I'm not going to tell you what

you do.

Well,

I'll tell you what I do is that

there'll be one week where I fast one

day for thirty six to forty six hours.

I'll do that one day a week.

Then the following week,

I'll have two days where I just fast

for twenty four hours.

And then every other day of the week,

I'll fast for sixteen hours or more.

And then there will be one day of

that week where I'll eat anything I want.

And when I say anything, y'all,

I've been taking that way to the extreme.

It should be within reason.

So it'll be one day where I don't

care about a window.

I don't care.

I'll eat when I want,

eat when I want and what I want.

So that's so a typical day,

maybe first day of the week.

Okay, let's, okay.

Imagine a fast every single day,

except for two days of the week where

I do twenty four hours in one day

where I eat whatever I want all day.

And then the following week,

it'll be one day where every day will

be sixteen hours.

One day will be thirty six hours.

And then one day I eat anything I

want.

You'll find out that when you do something

like that, believe it or not,

once your body is accustomed to that,

you're going to find out just like Dr.

Mindy talks about is you want to keep

your body guessing,

especially if you're trying to lose weight

or something like that.

If you're taking in one meal a day,

your body's going to adapt to it.

And, you know,

you're not going to get any benefits.

That's why you want to keep it guessing.

And that's one of the methods you can

do.

And then one day a month,

my personal thing is one day a month,

I'm going to fast for three days or

more.

So yeah, folks,

it is one awesome healing modality that

the MDs don't talk about.

You dig?

Most of them do not and will never

tell you about that healing modality.

It was like Dr. Jason Fung said,

You know,

there was only one thing that Jesus,

Buddha, and Confucius agreed on,

and that was the benefits of fasting.

Now, obviously,

the other two I don't hold a high

regard for,

but Jesus is my Lord and Savior.

And, you know, it's even said in there,

when you fast,

it is assumed that you will fast.

And folks are going to find out that

you think clearer,

that your body's able to, you know,

through autophagy,

get rid of a whole lot of bad

cells that shouldn't be in you.

The whole reason we eat three meals a

day is because of the Rockefellers.

And of course,

it was people like Edward Bernays who

wrote the book Propaganda that made you

think that breakfast was the most

important meal of the day.

It might very well be,

but the whole notion of eating three meals

a day, that was never, ever,

ever something that,

that was only something royalty ever did.

There were times where people would

probably fast two and three days a week

or eat every other day.

That was not uncommon.

And they were strong as a horse.

So folks,

your body is absolutely made for it.

Don't let anybody tell you opposite.

I mean, go out there,

experiment with yourself and find out what

actually works.

All right, here's another one.

Study links kiwi consumption to reduce

constipation symptoms.

Yeah,

I know there's a lot of you out

there that are clogged up like the Lincoln

Tunnel at rush hour.

You certainly weren't clogged up during

Trump's little state fair thing that he

had going on here,

but I think you get the point.

Kiwi is also really good.

It's also low glycemic,

and it's also a really good way for

you to keep that regularity on point.

A lot of good stuff there, but

I'm going as best I can to try

to eat whatever's in season,

including things like Kiwi.

Now,

I was leaving out of this last weekend,

man.

I was walking out of a hardware store.

Yeah, it was Ace Hardware.

Walking out of there, and they were like,

hey, you want some free food over here?

And I kid you not, the guy says,

we got watermelon.

And I just laughed.

I'm like, really?

Really, dude?

Of course, I don't think anything by it.

And then as soon as I smiled,

you could see the guys like, oh,

I might have messed up here.

And I'm like, dude, forget about it, man.

I'm just kidding.

If you knew who you were talking to,

you would realize...

I don't drip like that.

But the point being is I'm trying to

eat what's in season as best as I

possibly can.

You know,

you want to do like an eighty twenty

split when it comes to all this stuff.

Folks,

I'm not an absolute Nazi when it comes

to this stuff.

And in fact,

there's a couple of days or maybe a

couple of days.

I just go off the deep end.

But I'm trying to be as, you know,

as.

As dedicated as I as I possibly can,

I try to do what's right,

eighty percent of the time.

And for the most part, I'm right.

Here's another little hack I figured out,

y'all.

And this, I mean, it applies to me.

So maybe somebody else might find out as

well.

I find out it was Logan that encouraged

me to increase my DHA.

And you get that from seafood and you

get some from lamb and a few other

sources.

But by and large,

you get your biggest piece of it from

fish and shellfish and stuff like that.

So here's a little experiment I've been

doing.

And this has nothing to do with what

I've been talking about.

But I find out that I sleep,

I think,

twice as good when my last meal of

the day is fish, no carbs,

either just straight up fish like it could

be herring, which I absolutely love,

not a big fan of sardines, salmon, yeah,

I can eat that, my weight in that.

But I found out that if I eat

DHA in large portions of it,

or not large portions,

but make that my last meal for the

day,

Um,

I find out that I sleep light years

better.

So I'm still playing with that to find

it out.

But I mean,

that's something I figured out for myself

and then zero carbs at that meal.

So at dinner,

let's say it's for me at five o'clock,

I usually eat right before I come on

here.

So that'd be my last meal for the

day.

Tonight I had a brisket,

but at least several times a week.

And I know you got to watch out

for the mercury and some of this stuff.

Um,

But when you get smaller fish,

you're less likely to get a high mercury

content because it's not bioaccumulated in

these smaller fish like it is in things

like tuna.

The bigger the fish,

the more bioaccumulation of the negative

things.

So try to eat the small fish.

Anyway, folks, this is what I found out.

If I eat a salad,

make sure there's plenty of fat in that

salad,

and then also kick it off with some

fish.

Sleep twice is good.

If anybody else tries it out,

let me know.

See how it works out for you.

But for me,

it seems to be working like a champ.

All right, so finally here,

beyond the pomegranate,

antioxidant-rich foods that deserve a

place on your plate.

Um,

they're going to tell you a lot about

what I've talked about,

talked about for before,

but I'm talking about it now because a

lot of these things are in season.

For example, things like, uh, blueberries,

I'm still getting currents out there.

I'm still getting blueberries,

blackberries,

anthocyanins in all of these things.

Strawberries.

Yeah.

Like William was talking about,

you got some June bearing strawberries,

raspberries are coming around.

This is that time of year where you

can get a whole lot of good stuff

out there.

So, yeah,

don't forget about those berries, y'all.

Especially if you can get them really,

really local.

But be careful at these farmer's markets,

too, folks.

And the reason I'm saying that,

I haven't seen it here in Asheville,

but I'm sure it does happen.

These people are absolute Nazis.

I mean,

they'll be the first one to line up

to go get a jab,

but they wouldn't touch a GMO to save

their lives.

Explain that one.

Anyway...

Just be careful at these farmers' markets

because there's a lot of them,

and there's one that I'm suspicious of

right now in Asheville because the fruit's

too perfect.

I know what honest food looks like that

hasn't been sprayed in junk like that.

Just because they have it pretty out there

in the setup,

look at the boxes they're pulling it out

of.

Make sure they're not yanking a, okay,

you know doggone well they're not growing

pineapples in western North Carolina.

So where do they come from?

And if that's suspect,

then I know everything else on that table

is suspect.

So just be mindful where you get some

of that stuff.

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, too obvious to notice.

I discovered the genius of eating

watermelon with a spoon the other day.

This solves most of the issues with eating

watermelon, in my opinion.

Either you're tediously cutting it up into

bite-sized pieces,

or you have watermelon juice all over your

face.

Why have I never thought about this

before?

I think sometimes things are so obvious we

don't even see them.

I've recently started growing microgreens

in my worm farm.

It has been excellent so far, and again,

why didn't I think about this before?

It was all inspired by the Permaculture

Pimps video about growing microgreens in

between crops and raised beds.

Heat-tolerant salad greens are few and far

between,

but microgreens are harvested early enough

that the heat doesn't even matter.

And I had zero interest in the soilless

microgreen method you see all over

YouTube.

And using grow lights when the sun is

shining just seems stupid to me.

And I just so happened to have started

a worm farm and an extra one hundred

and fifty gallon fabric pot just seemed

the perfect way to stack functions.

The worm farm is just sitting there and

processing, taking up space.

You need to keep it watered and covered.

So why not use microgreens as the cover?

It's working so well, again,

I feel stupid for not thinking of it

sooner.

But sometimes we only get the information

when we are ready for it.

And there are an infinite number of ways

you can set this up and schedule your

next rotation of seeds and batching and

consumption levels.

But one of the best parts is the

roots you leave behind just become worm

food.

And the nutrition should obviously be off

the charts.

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 permaculturefairoaks.org.

That's my dog right there, y'all.

Yeah,

I remember Eric sending me a picture,

and I think I even talked about it

on this podcast a little bit back.

I think he was a little bit inspired

by one of the video or what made

him kind of jog his memory a little

bit was the video that I did of

growing microgreens down the rows.

Why?

For the very reason Eric just talked about

there.

You can eat them when they're small.

You can eat them when they're big.

I prefer them when they're small because

it just adds an awesome crunch to a

salad.

And when he showed me a video of

what he, or not a video,

but a picture of what he did,

I thought,

you have got to be kidding me, man.

This is absolute genius.

Where half of the worm farm folks,

just imagine a tub full of worms.

You grow microgreens on one side, okay?

Every single thing a worm touches

improved.

I mean,

everything on the inside or the outside of

a worm is massively improved.

Eric was like me, man.

I was like,

the whole notion of growing something in a

sterile medium,

you can tell me it has all this

nutrition, all you want.

but I ain't buying it because I know,

yeah,

these seeds will sprout and everything.

And it may, yeah,

maybe superfood in your eyes,

but can you imagine what it must be

like when you have it growing in an

honest medium?

I mean, they tasted different to me.

There is no way I'm going to sit

here and grow microgreens, like Eric said,

when the sun's shining anyway.

So you can eat them as they're growing

up, and you can constantly cycle through.

And like he said, you clip them off,

now all of a sudden you just fed

the worms over there.

I mean, win, win, win, win, win.

So how cool is that?

So I did it one way,

Eric improved upon it.

And then who knows, maybe down the road,

Eric will come up with another way of

improving upon it.

That's how we advance out here, y'all.

This is how we get rid of the

grocery store to the extent that we can.

Even if you bought,

now think about Eric's idea.

Even if you were to take what he

did and you just supplemented your regular

salad that you had to buy,

let's say from a store or a farmer's

market,

I can't even begin to imagine what the

nutritional content must be on those micro

greens.

Because like I said, I've,

I've grown them under a light here in

this, in the room behind me.

I've done that before.

Yeah.

You know, it's, it's okay,

but I'm telling you what,

everything about them is light years

different when they grow outside in an

honest medium.

And then if you wanted,

you could sell them.

So folks, I think that's a fantastic idea.

So hat tip as always to my man,

Eric.

Wellness Blanket,

ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

Michelle will be hugged up in that thing

here in a few hours.

Like I said,

she's not feeling really well,

so she may be under that thing right

now.

All right.

So, man,

let me just hit some of these questions

over here because I'm seeing stuff I never

saw before.

Somebody says, I don't like sardines.

Hey, Alabama says, I don't like sardines,

so I mix them with salmon and don't

taste it.

Huh?

Never heard of that, man.

I might have to give that a shot.

And then yells may.

I'm sorry if I got your name wrong.

I make sardine salad the way the exact

way you would make tuna salad.

My family.

Well, my family's come to prefer it.

I never even heard of this kind of

stuff.

Y'all might shoot.

Who knows, man?

I might have get get back in the

game on this sardine stuff.

I mean,

I grew up eating sardines like nobody's

business.

I don't know, man.

I'm just not, man.

When you eat herring, you know,

Kipper snacks,

that's what some people call them.

Man, when you eat herring, it's like,

dude, forget a bunch of sardines.

At least that's how I feel about it.

Yeah, Amy, I agree with you.

Eric is a genius.

I think that is a fantastic idea.

And then now all you would have to

do, just going back to Eric's idea.

if you did nothing but take that tub

and then take half of it or a

third of it or a quarter of it,

you grew micro greens right there.

And then you clipped them all out.

You ate them.

Then you use the next quarter next to

it.

Well,

the worms are eating up the roots on

those other ones and then so on and

so forth.

By the time you get back to the

other one, I mean, man,

I just can't even,

I would love somebody to test that

probably Eric's on top of it anyway.

Um,

Yeah.

Uh,

Kyle says I've read that rainbow trout has

more nutrients than sardines.

It might, but I'm looking at,

I'm eating a lot of this stuff because

of the DHA that it has in it.

And, um,

And so rainbow trout,

which I can get here,

which I could fish for.

The good thing is,

is where do you go to find a

clean source ever since that hurricane?

So you're going to have to go higher

in the mountains and hopefully you can

have some luck up there.

Michelle and I have been talking about

doing it forever in a day because

honestly, folks,

I know I grow animals out here and

I eat them.

But if it were up to me,

I would eat fish seven days a week.

When I came back from Alaska and I

came back with two hundred pounds of coho

and Chinook salmon and fifty pounds,

I think, of halibut.

When I came back with that,

I mean, you can ask Michelle.

I was eating it three or four times

a week, and it was stuff I caught.

Yeah,

can't really do that anymore based on what

we know about our environment.

All right, y'all.

So let me get into it.

So the best trees to plant before the

prices go higher.

Why did I even think about doing this?

Number one,

right now ain't the best time to grow

a tree.

Although I have.

There's a couple of pears down there that

I got on the discount rack.

Homesteading pastor had talked about it,

so I never really thought about doing it.

It was out of season.

It was a dead of summer,

so there were two pear trees that I

brought home.

Both of them are doing well.

They're not structured typical.

You always fight with pears anyway.

They're not structured great,

but they were five dollar trees.

And I'm actually getting pears off of them

this year.

So that ain't a bad deal.

But the reason why I'm talking about it

right now is so you can start getting

your head,

and some of you have got to start

ordering your trees now,

especially if you're getting bare roots.

Let me talk to you about some of

the nastiness that's going on out here.

I've seen it.

Michelle has seen it.

Here's what they're doing right now,

folks.

This is how sleazy some of these nurseries

are.

Not all of them,

but there's a reason why I only endorse

one of them.

They're taking bare root trees,

and they're sticking them in five-gallon

pots.

And they're charging last year,

what was it, eighty bucks?

I didn't even look at what they're

charging this year.

For a bare root that they stuck in

a five-gallon pot,

it is the biggest ripoff ever.

Instead of saying, hey, folks,

I can't even believe this has been done

forever in a day.

But what they're doing now and the prices

that they're charging at a lot of these

highfalutin places is absolutely insane.

So if you're going to order trees,

the best time, if you're in North America,

the best time to plant that tree is

not going to be in the dead of

summer.

If it makes it,

you're going to have to baby that thing

the whole way,

unless it's something like a fig that can

probably take it.

There's going to be exceptions.

But by and large,

you're always going to have the best

success when you plant a tree in the

fall.

Or for some of you in Texas,

when I say fall,

it could be the dead of winter.

And the reason why I'm saying it,

the best time to plant a tree is

when the leaves are off of those deciduous

trees.

That's because all of the energy is put

down in this root production.

There's Dr.

Carl Whitcomb out of the Oklahoma State

University that figured out,

he was the first one to figure out

that trees will be light years better if

you can plant them and you're going to

have to baby them less if you can

plant them in the fall when the leaves

first come off.

Like I said, in Texas,

it might very well be January before you

get out there and plant them.

And the reason for that is they're putting

all that effort all through the fall and

the winter.

Whenever those leaves come off,

they're putting all that energy in the

roots.

So when spring rolls around,

if you lightly prune them,

they are going to blow up like nobody's

business.

My man, Stefan Subkoviak,

talks a lot about this.

So I'm talking about this stuff right now

in the summer because you might

To a lot of places,

if you're wanting to get bare root,

which is always going to be the best

way I would plant it,

because your survivability is going to be

light years better,

it's more likely to be adapted to your

soil than some big tree that you have

in a pot where the roots are awful.

Pick the smaller tree every single time

and you're going to have a better

survivability and it's going to be better

adapted to your property.

So don't be dazzled by this big tree

that you see in a pot when it

will be surpassed.

If it even survives,

it will be surpassed in no time at

all from a small little bitty tree that

you trained up.

So I'm talking about this now because you

might need to order your trees and I

would always get bare root every single

time if it's at all possible.

Or you might want to think about getting

some root stock out there and grafting

your own.

Take some of the twigs off of the

trees you like out there.

Maybe, you know,

find a neighbor down the road.

Hey,

you mind if I get some scion wood

off of here?

And then do your own.

It's not that hard, y'all.

Stephanie even teaches you how to do that.

So

I'm going to go through some of these

trees that I think you really ought to

get,

especially in light of the times right

now.

Right off the bat,

I'm going to talk about, well,

let's talk about staple food trees.

And I'm going to talk about,

first of all, chestnut.

Well,

it's one of the best long-term calorie

crops and it's going to produce for

generations.

I love chestnuts.

And right beside them,

I'm going to say apple.

You know,

it's coming up at that time of year

where everything else is dying back.

You already know my deal on Apple.

It goes well with savory dishes.

It goes well with sweet dishes.

Pear, you know, it's a reliable producer,

excellent storage potential.

Well,

it could be that way for most of

this stuff here.

One of the workhorses out there is a

mulberry.

And the reason why, folks,

you can do Bill Mollison one-on-one and

plant a mulberry above a pond.

It can feed the fish out there in

that pond, and it can also feed you.

And they grow everywhere.

Can't miss that.

You know, you got American persimmon,

pawpaw, peach, plum, cherry, fig.

You know, some of those are, with figs,

you're going to have,

in the colder climates,

I would kind of overlook that.

They might grow,

but getting fruit off of them a lot

of times ain't necessarily going to be a

wonderful thing.

So unless you live in some of the

lower country,

if you're in the higher stuff like me,

it's going to be more ornamental than

anything.

So some of the nut trees out there,

remember folks, in North America,

The hardest thing to find in nature is

fat.

When you're in the tropics,

one of the easiest things to find in

nature is fat.

Now, why am I talking about fat?

Because it's all about permaculture

preparedness and practical living.

For fat, you get nine calories per gram.

Protein and carbs, you only get four.

And then your body,

if it's running on ketones, man,

you can really make it sing if all

you've got is fat.

So think about some of those fat sources

in nature because it's harder to find up

here.

Most of us are going to think you

just get them from animals,

but what about the nuts?

Hazelnuts, I mean,

it's one of the quickest nut crops out

there and it doesn't take long to,

you know, start production.

You know,

one of my favorites out there is going

to be pecan.

Excellent long-term and, you know, I mean,

that thing would be grown for generations

out there.

Here's my favorite that most people don't

even want to fool with.

Black walnut.

If you ask me if I could only

have one nut for the rest of my

life, it would be a black walnut because,

number one, it has the walnut texture,

but it has that very, very aromatic,

flowery kind of taste.

And most people have never even had a

black walnut.

Absolutely my favorite nut,

and there ain't even a close second.

Now, it can be allopathic,

which means you got to be a little

bit careful about what grows around it.

Or not,

because I saw some that seem to produce

every bit as well around it as at

Greg Judy's place.

So, you know,

you bring the right dog to the hunt,

maybe that's not a problem.

You know, hickory, butternut, almond.

I mean, obviously,

you want to be in a drier climate

for something like that,

more of a Mediterranean climate.

And then, of course, Chinese chestnut.

Now,

let me talk about some of those nitrogen

fixtures I would think about right now.

And you shouldn't be paying a fortune for

them.

In fact,

a lot of them you can go get

from seed out there from a pod,

like black locust.

nitrogen fixer probably some of the

hottest firewood out there that you're

ever going to find it's one of its

great virtues is that it doesn't break

down so you can use it as a

fence post fence post

If you got any kind of pollinators out

there, your bees are going to love it.

So you got to think about those things.

Alder, you know, it's fast growing.

It's a soil builder.

Honey locust,

I'm not as big a fan of,

but it's a good livestock fodder and it's

good shade.

But man,

them spikes are coming out of everywhere

on those guys.

I know people have managed to get some

that aren't as spiky,

but you want to be thinking about those.

It is a good nitrogen fixture and the

bees are going to love it as well.

And then don't forget about those shrubs.

Siberian pea shrub, well,

it has an edible seed in there that

you can eat and your animals can eat.

So you might want to think about that

as well.

And then plus, remember,

every one of these nitrogen fixtures,

folks,

if you plant them every third tree in

your row out there,

not only does it take an atmospheric

nitrogen putting it down to the soil for

the benefit of everything else around

there,

it's also harboring all of the beneficial

insects that are going to protect your

fruit trees and your shrubs and berries

and everything else.

I mean,

it's like the good Lord knew what he

was doing.

How about that?

Let's not forget about the medicinal stuff

out there.

Elderberry, willow, serviceberry,

American crabapple.

I got some out there.

It's a good pollinator for pretty much

every apple out there.

And depending on where you live,

I'm going to suggest even Moringa.

You can eat every part of that tree.

Massive medicinal stuff.

I mean, purifies water, you name it.

It is like the miracle tree if ever

there was one.

And I believe William sells it.

I don't know if it's on Etsy or

whatever.

You'll have to go to his website and

find it or his YouTube channel and find

out.

But Moringa, I mean, animals love it.

You can eat it.

It's good for you all the way around.

Medicinal qualities.

It's like the tree version of comfrey to

me.

So we're thinking about those medicinal

wildlife trees and then timber and legacy

trees.

I mean, for me,

that's not something you got to worry

about here in this part.

We got white oak everywhere, but you got,

you know, you got red oak, white oak,

you know, tulip poplar.

I mean, eastern white pine, sugar maple,

river birch.

There's a whole gang of stuff out there

you can be doing right now.

um in so many different ways celeste thank

you for the thirteen bucks appreciate your

content my dad's favorite ice cream was

black walnut you know what same here and

you know the doggone thing about it is

i can't find none of it there's a

lady that makes ice cream here in town

my favorite

And I don't know how many times I

was asking her, like, could she,

because she makes these strange flavors

that I absolutely love.

And I was like, man,

I wonder if anybody can make like a

butter pecan, but out of walnut.

I don't know if it would work with

black walnut,

but that is absolutely positively.

I've taken it before and I've sprinkled it

over like vanilla ice cream and just kind

of,

or coffee ice cream and mixed it up

in there.

But man, I really think people don't,

folks, I'm telling you,

you don't know what you're missing when it

comes to these black walnut trees.

And let's not forget also,

Of all the timber out there,

if you can get a veneer grade of

black walnut,

I'm talking like two feet in diameter with

no metal,

and it goes straight for twenty feet, man,

you're looking at a, I don't know,

back then, I don't know,

fifteen years ago,

that was like a five thousand dollar tree.

I don't even know what you can get

for it these days.

I mean, that same tree would probably be,

I don't know, ten, twenty thousand.

All those highfalutin stocks out there.

What do you think that's made out of?

Black walnut.

I mean,

it's one of the most prized trees out

there.

It's not number one.

It's number two.

And it's a real close fight out there.

So black walnut in so many different ways.

And then plus, honestly,

the hulls on those will give you another

little trick that other folks don't know

about.

You can take the husks on those black

walnuts.

They're pests to a whole lot of people

out there.

It's like this black ink that comes off

of them.

If you ever found yourself in a bind

and you needed some worms to go fishing

with, take a bunch of those husks,

put them in a bag,

put them in a five-gallon bucket of water,

or just put them in a bucket of

water

Mix it up in there and then pour

it on the ground and watch what happens.

If there's any worms in those soils,

they're going to come flying out of the

ground like something out of an Alfred

Hitchcock movie.

I'm telling you,

you ain't never seen nothing like it.

Or this might allegedly be illegal in

every state.

I might have allegedly even done it.

You could take an old onion bag,

put a bunch of those husks in there

from black walnuts,

stick it out in a body of water

with a string attached to it,

throw it out in there,

and then watch what happens.

Now, allegedly,

you might have a whole bunch of fish

that are shocked and they rise to the

surface.

You could pull them in with a butterfly

net.

Deadly serious.

And it shocks them.

It doesn't kill them.

Well, the truth is,

I allegedly wasn't sticking around to wait

for the option because I was like, okay,

I got to see if this really works.

So right there at Lake Jeanette over at

the lake at Leavenworth, Kansas,

near the VA hospital.

Anybody seeing all those fish floating

over there?

Yeah.

Yours truly was responsible for that one.

So, um, yeah, apparently they'll,

they'll come back around, you know,

they just be shocked for a little while,

but it is highly, highly,

highly illegal in just about every state

out there.

And most people don't know that,

but you may find yourself in a position

here in the near future where you don't

necessarily care about what the laws are

because you've got to do some feet.

You got to do some eating folks.

I kid you not black Walnut.

will blow your mind if you take those

husks.

Like I said,

stick them in an onion bag,

put a rope on them,

throw them out in a body of water,

and watch what happens.

You ain't going to believe it.

Um, our fish and worms,

you ain't going to believe it.

So yeah,

these are those survival things that

great, great,

great grandparents know about that a lot

of us don't longer know about these days.

So, um, yeah, it's always some, yeah.

Seabury is a great nitrogen fixer.

Mary Jane, thank you so much.

Saskatoon and Juneberry.

Yeah.

I mean,

there's some excellent options out there.

And some really cool tricks out there.

So, look, folks,

I want to thank everybody for checking us

out.

William will be back around with us next

time.

I think I've got to interview this

Wednesday with a gentleman who's going to

be telling you all about some mushrooms

and some products that I'm actually trying

out right now, taking them for a really,

really good test drive.

All right, y'all, I want to thank you.

Oh, somebody's asking,

when are you moving to El Salvador?

Not sure I am moving to El Salvador.

Like I said, folks,

I zig when everybody else is zagging.

So there might be a conversation about

that in the near future.

I may or may not.

I don't know where I don't feel the

Lord pulling me there.

And every time I make a decision,

a stupid decision where I'm not doing what

the Lord told me,

one hundred percent of the time I come

to regret it.

And I think I'm wise enough at this

point where I think I've kind of learned

enough of those lessons.

I think I'm ready to start listening.

So right now, I don't necessarily have a,

you know, it may be a plan B.

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Right now,

there are some other things that I'm

considering.

And I have the benefit of knowing some

people that are very much in the know

of a lot of what's going on right

now.

So I'm kind of getting with some of

these other people,

and I'm just weighing everything out.

So, you know,

looking to see what's going to work and

looking to see what won't.

All right, y'all.

I want to thank everybody out there for

checking us out.

Like I said,

William will be here next time out.

I want to thank everybody in the chat.

Thank you, everybody,

for all your support.

If you're listening to us online,

give us a review.

Five stars.

You know what time it is.

Until next time,

stay alert and stay alive.

Let the ideas unfold.

I'm grooving with the truth, truth, truth.

Feeling that just boop, boop, boop.

We've got the answers,

all we need to do.

Listen to the earth, they've got us all.

See the change.

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 and thrive.

So much wisdom in this song.
