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.
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.
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.
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.
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,

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.
