In the dark, I play my dreams.

Firm of fortune flows like sweet springs.

I'm the daddy with the know-how seed.

Green in the world like it's meant to

be.

I'm the hope to be, I'm the beat,

I'm the king.

Black is love in everything.

Bring a change, make it last.

Welcome to episode four eighty one 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

prostitutes.

Well,

good to be here with y'all on this

Monday.

Wow.

Man,

I can't believe how this whole year is

just passing by, man.

I can't even believe we're near the end

of August and almost to my birthday.

And son, don't let me forget.

We got to talk about my birthday here

in a second because I'm going to say

something that's going to make me look

very, very stupid.

Anyway, this episode, as always,

brought to you by the Sovereign Health

Summit.

That's going to be October twenty seventh

through the thirty first TPC.

We'll get you a five percent off.

Almost messed up there.

Yeah.

Go check us out.

It's going to be in Harmony,

North Carolina.

We got Barbara O'Neill coming in.

Anyway, MyRedLight.com,

BB-Five and BB-Thirty will get you, well,

you'll get twenty five percent off any

single item and thirty percent off any

bundled item.

That's from my former guest,

Jonathan Otto.

So go over there and check that out,

especially on these chemtrailing days.

You might want to be looking for some

options out there.

Believe me.

All right.

So let's just jump right into it, son.

Yeah, my birthday is on the thirtieth.

Yeah.

I was going around telling everybody I was

fifty five, man.

I'm actually fifty four.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's twenty twenty six.

You're going to be fifty five.

I was like, dude,

I had I put in.

OK, here's how I found out.

Here's the dumb part.

I had to fill out some application online

and they're asking for the birth date.

It was something like that.

And then when it said fifty, you know,

I'm going through redo it, you know,

looking at the application and it says age

fifty four.

I'm like, what?

Man, this thing's all kind of messed up,

man.

I go back.

I look at.

Oh, yeah, I'm actually fifty four.

I'm telling everybody I'm fifty five

forever in a day because honestly,

there are I have extraordinary recall for

certain things.

Other things I cannot remember if you paid

me to.

My birthday has always been insignificant

to me.

I mean,

it's just another day on the calendar.

Well, honestly,

until your mom started making that

chocolate cake.

Now I remember my birthday because she's

going to make one and she's like half

of it.

She's going to make it the way I

like.

And then the other half,

she's going to make it the way she

likes, which, you know,

it's not going to have any nuts on

it.

It's going to be a German chocolate and

sun.

You want to tell everybody about this

cake?

That German chocolate cake is the best

cake in the world.

I've never had anything that even comes

close to being as good.

Yeah.

How many different types of chocolate are

there from different parts of the world?

I don't even know, man,

this cake has got to be two hundred

bucks to make.

I mean, which, you know,

good thing birthdays only come around once

a year because she's got to order this

stuff, man.

I mean,

it's like she's up here whipping up

something out of Harry Potter, man.

She's pulling up, she's pulling up,

you know,

chocolate that came from this part of

Africa.

And folks, I'm not overselling it.

I'm telling you,

this is by far the best cake that

has ever been made.

And yeah,

It's that one dude's recipe.

That one chef's recipe.

Yeah, it's Bobby Flay's.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's Bobby Flay's recipe.

Anyway, she...

But other people have attempted to make

it.

And one of the person's son...

I won't mention the name,

but they were back there in Texas.

And you can't buy lousy ingredients and

expect to have the same flavor.

I don't care what it is.

You cannot buy...

And I don't care what it is.

You can't buy, you know,

it sure is funny that this person would

spend tons of money on luggage,

tons of money on certain things.

But when it came to the food they

ate, it was best choice, this and that,

that and this.

I mean, yeah, there's some recipes,

most recipes, at least in my view,

where you can't put in,

if it calls for butter, man,

don't put in margarine.

I was just thinking the same thing.

You can't do stuff like that.

Anyway, yeah,

it turns out I am actually fifty four.

So, yeah, bad on me.

All right.

I'm going to jump right into the farm

news.

OK,

I'm out here cooking up some bone sauce.

We finally got a

I mean, it rained every day,

I want to say for a month,

every single day.

And here it is.

We got one day where it's not raining,

so I'm making more bone sauce.

Hopefully I'll have that on the website by

tomorrow.

But folks,

I don't cut any corners on this stuff.

I mean, if I don't have it,

I know people are blowing us up on

the email and everything else,

but I'll be completely straight up with

you.

I don't water it down.

I don't do anything.

I give it to you exactly as it

has to be made.

My integrity is on the line for everything

that we sell,

and I'm not going to water this stuff

down, even though, you know,

especially in light of everything that's

just recently happened, son,

like with the avocado oil scandal.

If y'all didn't know, that is still,

that was emotional damage to dad after he

found out Siete wasn't using real avocado

oil.

I was furious and I still am because

check this out.

The only person of all the people that

were called out,

the only one to make a statement was

Mark Sisson from Primal Kitchen.

And if you look at his statement,

it basically says, no, we didn't.

Okay.

I will also point out something that the

ones who did this article didn't provide

any evidence.

They didn't provide any evidence.

So all they said was,

this is what we found,

but they didn't provide any results.

But you would think this would require a

statement from Siete and all the others

that were mixed up in it.

And you know, son,

the only ones that came out and dropped

the statement the other day was the CEO

of Azure, who I happen to know.

I got his phone number.

And...

I couldn't have been more proud of

promoting Azure as I was after listening

to his statement.

And I'm gonna, hopefully,

I was gonna do a front porch talk

about it, but I got really, really busy,

but I really wanna put a spotlight on

them because he explains exactly what's

going on in the avocado industry and why

they don't have avocado potato chips and

why they use what they use.

And why they don't get more of it,

because they're well aware of the fact

they've already been down this road.

They're well aware of the fact that if

you push on these suppliers,

you're going to wind up getting some junk.

So, yeah, that's definitely a big,

big deal out there for me.

And I'm going to...

I'm going to do some kind of monologue,

maybe even during the week talking about

that very thing, because here it is.

The one person that wasn't implicated in

it was explaining why it happens and,

you know, why,

and he didn't do it by pushing down

the other companies.

He didn't do any of that,

even though I'd have been completely fine

with it,

but he didn't do any of that.

And he explains how, you know,

because of their methods,

This is why they're definitely on top of

it.

So, yeah, I'm not happy about that.

Anyway,

bone sauce is going to be back in

the saddle tomorrow.

Okay, since we don't have rain,

we had a ton of humidity,

even at three thousand feet here in the

mountains, which is absolutely unheard of.

Son,

it seems they've gone back to not messing

with the weather right now.

We got as close to blue as you

can get up there right now.

And at the same time, low, low,

low humidity.

So it's like it was for the first

five years that we lived here,

at least right now.

So let's hope we get more of it

because that's exactly how it was.

Every single day where we live used to

be perfect weather every single day.

And then all of a sudden they really

started messing with the weather and,

you know, it hasn't been that way.

Other things, oh,

got some apples off the trees today.

So folks,

this is exactly the reason why you want

early, mid, and late of everything.

So let's say you had an early frost

or late frost.

It doesn't affect you in the same way

that it does everybody else.

And I'm talking early, mid,

late of everything you grow.

Apples, peaches, pears, it doesn't matter.

Anyway,

I'm yanking these apples off the trees.

And like I was with the pears,

I was telling people,

Pears actually do have a smell.

Not all of them, but some of them.

But you're never going to get that from

the stuff in the grocery store, ever.

Because just like apples, they pick them,

you know, if not a year prior,

pretty darn close to it.

But anyway,

I'm yanking apples off this tree.

I don't even know what the cultivar is,

but it tastes fantastic.

People might have known or noticed that I

put out a lot more shorts as of

late.

It's been driving me crazy that I can't

do long-form videos, but I'm like, okay,

well, what can I do in the meantime?

Well,

I've been doing a lot of shorts on

YouTube X and some of the other platforms

as well.

And boy,

they are sticking it to us in the

biggest way, man.

Like there's a prime time you can put

up certain things.

And when it's consequential,

And it is blowing my mind how YouTube

seems to every time your mama put up

a video at a time where it would

be seen,

all of a sudden there's some giant

technical glitch.

Like there's only a minute of this ten

minute video I just made.

There'll be something like that.

And then she can't get it up for

hours.

So they're playing games with us, folks.

And the reason why, look,

I'm just going to tell you straight.

the reason why is they don't want y'all

and anybody else in the sound of my

voice or they don't want it going far

and wide because i'm the worst threat in

the world to the status quo let me

explain why and i'm not being i'm not

being i'm not being lofty in my opinion

of myself believe me i'm i'm never that

i trust me i know the full extent

of my ignorance

What they can't have the general public

see is a brown person who's a permaculture

farmer who's showing you and everybody

else out there that you don't have to

be on this system,

not to the extent that they want you

to be.

So I could be a very, very,

very powerful voice out there if they

would let me be seen,

but they can't have that.

Another major thing is that you're not

doing the race baiting thing or, oh,

that's racist or anything like that.

So they would be fine with all the

other stuff as long as you were doing

that at the same time, but you're not.

So that's where the another issue is.

Absolutely,

because if I fall in line and I

do what the powers that shouldn't be want

me to do, yeah,

they'll let it go far and wide.

I'll give you an example right now, Dad.

Or go ahead first,

but I'll give you an example afterwards of

that exactly.

That Sylvan Aqua Farm,

remember that dude from way back?

He went and studied under...

What was that?

Oh, he studied under Joel Salatin.

This was like when we lived in,

I think, Texas still.

I think that's when it happened,

like twenty eighteen ish,

somewhere around there.

Twenty seventeen, something like that.

But he went to Joel Salatin's farm,

learned under Joel Salatin.

He's a black dude, by the way,

learned under Joel Salatin,

took what he learned from there,

applied it to his own farm that I

think, if I remember correctly,

inherited it from his wife.

Right.

From his wife's family or something like

that.

I don't know.

It was something something along those

lines.

I could be wrong on that.

I could be thinking of somebody else.

And then started bashing Joel Salatin

about him being a racist.

B,

his techniques don't work for people who

aren't already like born wealthy and stuff

like that.

He just completely turned on him,

especially whenever Joel was talking about

like.

Oh,

and then I think he got back on

him onto him after the COVID statement

that he made.

But anyway, he's a black dude.

Now,

he's changed his name since that whole

event happened.

It's like Blackbird Farms or something

like that.

And he has skyrocketed.

He's the one that, like,

he gets on the...

If you guys have seen the shorts,

he's the one that gets on the camera

and he says, like, what is it now?

And this fake deep voice that is...

it's yeah it's a fake deep voice and

then he responds to some sort of tick

tock or some sort of video or some

sort of farming content video as well um

yeah he absolutely hates any it's weird

because he absolutely it seems like he's

against the status quo but then argues the

status quo constantly especially if

there's anybody

in line with kind of what joel salatin

is talking about but he does exactly that

he's like kind of against the status quo

but argues for the status quo at the

same time but he plays the race card

heavily all the time well i would say

check it out but i don't really want

to support his content or anything like

that but you probably have already seen it

because he's up to like a million some

subscribers now all by all started from

going off on joel salatin

Yeah, I mean,

if I were to take that role,

if I were to sit here and play

along, look,

there's a whole lot of YouTube channels

and I've been very critical about them who

went from being, you know,

showing you how to do, you know,

we grow this,

grow that into preparedness or buy these

five things or you're going to die kind

of thing like the Macs.

And a number of others out there,

they made that transition because they

knew the numbers favored them.

I'm not playing that game.

I don't keep up with them.

The bottom line is,

if you sit here and sell your soul

for that kind of stuff,

or you sit here and play the race

baiting, look, man,

I'm not going to play that game.

I'd rather be the poorest dirt farmer in

all of North Carolina before I wind up

playing that game.

And it's just simply not going to happen.

Or, you know,

take blood money like Officer Tatum and

some of the other influencers out there.

I'm not that guy.

Never going to be that guy.

And it makes me sick what some of

these people have done.

Selling their soul to just get more

clicks.

How about that?

All right.

Some other things.

Michelle went out there,

had to weed eat the bees or,

you know,

the grass down low so the bees can

get in and out.

And then there's been this thing all day

long, man.

It hit your mom and I at the

same time.

I think there's something electronic going

on in the sky.

I'm not sure what's happening.

But, man,

it was all we could do just to

keep our eyes open midday, like,

I don't know, around maybe twelve or so.

And it hit both of us at the

same time.

Couldn't explain it.

Folks,

they're treating us all like lab rats.

And I am truly hoping that.

I'm hoping that at some point this country

wakes up.

Sadly,

history proves that everybody's going to

have to be in the throes of starvation

before anybody does.

When you hit this level of depravity,

then that's exactly where we are.

So other things, you know,

it's that time of year, it's dead summer,

but we're still moving to animals every

single day because we have to because of

all the moisture and everything.

So that's a good thing.

You know,

there's good and bad to all this stuff.

And then finally,

I think the numbers of the farmers,

cattle farmers who voted for Trump.

I mean,

I don't know how true this is,

but it wouldn't shock me if it was.

It was on X that I want to

say ninety five percent of all cattle

farmers out there voted for Trump.

Well,

they're singing a different tune right

about now.

You know,

this poll cat has betrayed every single

body in his base.

And for those of you who are thinking

I'm some kind of lunatic Democrat,

got news for you.

I'm a political atheist.

It's a unit party.

It's just one party.

So you don't identify with the left or

the right.

They're all working in it together,

especially at the highest levels.

Trump has betrayed everybody in his base,

and now it's the farmers.

And still,

there's only a small portion of them that

are actually waking up.

So, folks,

he's not working in the best interest,

hasn't been.

And I knew this second term.

I told you all before,

the second day he got into office,

when he gave half a trillion—that's with a

T—

Half a trillion bucks to a bunch of

oligarchs to build these data centers and

everything else.

I told you, you've been sold out.

The moment that happened,

second day in office, I told everybody,

and people unsubscribed, oh,

you're a Trump derangement syndrome,

the whole nine yards.

Look, they're all equally worthless.

But anyway, the cattle industry,

like we weren't losing enough farmers

already,

Now they're going to be dropping like

flies.

And I'd like to know where they're getting

this meat from because they didn't call it

beef.

It was like some kind of, I mean,

for all we know, it could be anything,

man.

It could be, you know,

ground up Chinese for all we know.

That's honestly how sinister and

diabolical these people are.

So wouldn't put anything past them.

Anyway,

let me kick it on over to you,

son.

Yeah, it's the soylent green food.

It turns out it's been fake for a

long time.

Yeah, around here,

the weather's been absolutely crazy.

Like we've had overcast all day,

but it's been a weird,

like even haze with like the moguls in

the sky.

We've had that all day, all day today.

And it's still a hundred some degrees

outside, like a hundred.

I think it was one of three again

today,

even though it was supposed to cool off.

We're supposed to get some rain today.

That never happened.

We're supposed to get it tomorrow.

I doubt that'll happen.

They don't even know what's happening as

far as the weather goes.

I've been wondering lately,

are they giving the weather people a heads

up whenever they manipulate it all,

or are the weather people just as confused

as we are about this stuff?

I know...

i was looking at max velocity because i

was i usually watch him in the morning

to see kind of an idea of what

today might look like generally um so

typically i watch him and i was looking

at the comments this uh today

his video and people were in texas were

talking about like people were leaving

comments in the in the chat down below

of how hot it was in texas this

year and how like unusual the weather has

been um kind of all over the united

states everybody's kind of making the

remark like man the weather is unusual and

i thought about copying pasting links of

the geoengineering watch

uh website.org website in the in the

youtube chat but i was also thinking like

man this could be a little too much

form all at once at least they're asking

they're they're they're at least have some

sort of observation they're at least

asking the right questions maybe just

leaving them alone they'll eventually

figure it out if they haven't already

figured it out yet um man

yeah the weather's weird uh hot all the

time now something i was harvesting

comfrey earlier i was digging up comfort

earlier and one thing that i noticed that

was kind of bizarre and i don't understand

really what's happening is that the bed in

the back i have a raised bed in

the back dedicated to just perennials

which is largely just moringa and comfrey

and strawberries in that one bed and that

bed that soil in there is

best bed on the property.

Like it's already been inoculated.

It's already perfect crumb structure.

I can dig past the depth of the

bed with just my bare hand easily.

Really good biology in there and things

like that.

But the comfrey in there is struggling.

Meanwhile,

and it's underneath the shade of an elm

tree.

Meanwhile,

the comfrey that I have on the south

side of the house up against the brick

wall is thriving.

the one in the bed is irrigated the

one up against the brick wall is not

and the one up against the brick wall

is it it's as if the heat never

even affected it as if the heat never

even bothered it it doesn't even wilt in

the middle of the day but the one

in the back that one is struggling i'm

wondering i'm just trying to figure out

what's going on that that's a mystery that

i just discovered today and it's not

making a whole lot of sense so

I'll have to do some more deep diving

and I'll have to do some soil tests

and stuff like that to figure out what's

happening.

I mean,

I guess it's possible because it is in

the corner of the property.

I guess it's possible somebody dumped

something into that bed,

but still highly unlikely.

Yeah, I think it has to do.

I think country always does better in beds

that aren't good soil.

So I think that might be your chief

problem right there.

I didn't think it would be that quick,

though.

Okay, if that is the case, you're right.

That is something that does happen.

Comfrey does like crappy soil,

whether it's crappy sand soil,

crappy clay soil, crappy rocky soil,

whatever it is,

Comfrey does like crappy soil.

And if you start it in Miracle-Gro,

you'll have lower germination rates.

I'm saying Miracle-Gro,

but I mean potting soil.

You'll have lower germination rates.

I just didn't think that that soil would

get that good that fast for that to

happen.

That's why I didn't chalk it up to

that.

Maybe that's the case.

Maybe that is the case.

Also,

the comfrey roots in the back were kind

of limp.

They weren't crispy.

They were kind of limp.

I wonder what was going on.

That could have just been because it was

in the middle of the day.

What else do I have on here?

Yeah,

the problem with the comfrey and then,

oh yeah,

I'm about to harvest potatoes as well.

So that'll be cool.

I got a couple of rows of potatoes

out at the demonstration site and I've

got,

I did an experiment with those protein

tubs here at the property.

One I did over here at the house.

I did one with the sweet potatoes and

then I did one with regular potatoes and

it's time to pull those potatoes out.

It's been time to pull those potatoes out,

but I'm going to go ahead and get

that done here soon because now the

demonstration site is ready at the same

time, which this year,

I got to say,

we've grown just so far.

We've grown a lot of food so far

this year.

And we have only done like the heavy

crops.

We've only done tomatoes, peppers,

cucumbers, and things like that so far.

Those have been like the heavier producing

ones, like by weight.

But we still got sweet potatoes coming up.

I got to do the potatoes, the squash,

the pumpkins,

and the watermelons and stuff like that

too.

So we...

produced quite a bit of food this year

so far.

Kind of passively too,

because I've been on the road a long

time.

So that's pretty cool.

Yeah,

we're definitely producing a bunch here.

A lot of our perennial stuff is really

kicking in as well.

Somebody asked a little bit ago in the

chat about microgreens.

I don't know if I can pull up

the question,

but they were asking about microgreens,

I think, and what I thought about them.

Yeah.

Can you guys tell me your opinion on

microgreens and what is your experience?

Well, check this out.

I did a video not long ago of

putting them in between the beans I was

growing.

And it's an awesome thing because those

beans are going to take ninety days to

come around.

I don't know why nobody's ever done this

before, but, you know,

treat the areas in between,

because honestly,

taking some of the work of John Kemp

and some of the others,

you get a micro green seed mix.

Look,

the biology does not ever want to be

bare.

So if I didn't do anything out there,

I would definitely have a mulch layer.

But why not?

why not plant micro greens in there where

i could start harvesting that within seven

to ten days depending on the mix pull

those out put them in my salad every

day while i'm waiting for the beans to

come up now eventually depending on

proximity the beans are going to shade it

out but not before i'm getting a heck

of a harvest out of there so i've

been doing that for a little while now

using micro greens to do the alleys and

folks i'm here to tell you that's the

way to roll that way you don't have

to buy any lettuce in the store

If microgreens are supercharged just by

growing them in an inert medium in your

closet,

what do you think they're going to be

like when they're growing outside,

getting the sunlight they should,

not the stuff from those bulbs?

If they're outside getting the stuff that

they should,

they're in a medium that is absolutely

fantastic for them.

And then at the same time,

there's this commensal relationship that

it has with the things on either side

of it.

because if you go into your forest i

mean just look out there nobody has a

mulch ring out there well they do but

nobody's worried about spacing out there

you can plug a lot of stuff in

there and do a whole lot in fact

eric cider came up with this thing where

he was taking half of his compost and

he was growing worms on one side well

worms through the whole thing but using

part of his compost container

to grow microgreens.

They're going to be light years better

than anything you could dream of buying at

a farmer's market, in the store.

Yeah,

I am a big fan of that also.

There's a bunch of videos.

If you're looking to make it profitable,

there's a bunch of videos, classes,

courses,

all that type of stuff on YouTube on

how to do a profitable microgreen

business.

A lot of people talk about doing...

half a million dollars in revenue in just

microgreens.

Now that is dependent upon how close you

are to a major city.

So keep that in mind.

Yeah, you ain't selling those in DeKalb,

Texas.

I can promise you that.

You know how far I got to drive

to sell those?

They're going to die on the way there.

Yeah, at least two and a half hours.

So, I mean,

you'd have to get to Dallas.

But, yeah, other folks are saying, yeah,

DJT is telling people data centers are

great.

Absolutely he is.

That was from Nancy.

And then Travis the Bet saying weather

apps are always off.

Yeah,

that's why Dane Wigington reached out to

me.

They're intentionally off.

William suspected this years ago.

And he was saying that they were playing

games with it because the weather outside

did not reflect at all what was saying.

And it's been since proven.

But anyway, Dane Wigginson,

and I've talked about this,

sent me an email,

which I didn't get until a week after

he sent it.

And then it shows up in my inbox

all of a sudden.

And it was time sensitive asking me to

conduct these tests.

to find out exactly, you know,

with the humidity and everything else,

finding out what the real weather was

because they're lying about everything.

And, yeah, you know,

it doesn't even matter what it is, folks.

We are an empire of lies right now,

and it ain't getting any better.

All right, so Nessus Hemp,

ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

Yeah,

Andrea says Weatherman Plus is awesome.

Yeah, he is.

I'll come back to him in a minute

because he did something that was

extraordinary during Hurricane Eileen.

Like I said,

I'll come to that in a minute.

That's his hemp.

Ten percent off.

Look,

don't buy that gas station garbage or

anything else.

If you want to get hemp like I

do, I use it every single day,

especially at night before I'm going to

bed.

Man, that's a CBDA.

And this stuff is legit.

Let me tell you,

you want to use this stuff.

It's the good stuff.

And yeah,

it costs a little bit more than that

gas station,

a lot more than the gas station stuff.

But I will pay good money for good

product.

The stuff in the gas station is just

canola oil that somebody's cousin blew

smoke weed or weed smoke on called CBD.

That's exactly what it is.

Well, anyway, Nessa's Hemp,

ten percent off with promo code PERMA.

Also, Micronic Silver.

Use that every day, too,

in so many different ways.

Look, you know, you got Nano Silver,

you got Colloidal Silver.

This Micronic Silver is on another level,

way more stable.

And it's something you really want to have

in your medicine cabinet,

especially in these times where everything

turns out to be a fraud.

This is why I only work with the

best.

They don't hit me up, folks.

I hit them up after I try their

products before I ever tell you all about

it.

Anyway, with promo code perma.

On the note about silver,

have you ever tried the deodorant?

The silver deodorant?

Have you tried that one yet?

I haven't tried that.

Okay, cool.

I was going to ask you about it

if you did, but okay.

Yeah, so finally, soil saviors.

We got a link for that below.

Everybody's always asking about it.

So there you have it.

All right,

so let's get into the good news.

Blueberry compound linked to memory

protection.

New review in human trials.

Okay, so basically,

there's anthocyanins that you're going to

get in things that are colorful.

That's why I eat a lot of colorful

food.

That's why we grow a lot of,

instead of, yeah,

sweet potatoes are great.

But why not grow some purple ones along

with it?

Because you're getting a lot of those

anthocyanins in all that stuff.

So, you know, everything that you can,

eggplant, I don't care what it is, man.

I'm trying to eat a kaleidoscope of stuff,

which is why we're growing it.

And then pumpkins, you know,

as it gets later in the year,

pumpkins are kind of like apples.

They're producing at a time of year when

most things aren't.

So,

and then when you're growing these

pumpkins, like, oh my goodness,

your mom's growing out here,

those Cherokee tans.

Man,

if you're buying that garbage in the

store, y'all, and it is garbage,

and you taste a Cherokee tan,

you will lose your ever-loving mind.

She's also grown another variety out there

that I can't recall.

The Cherokee tans are better also because

they're an appropriate size.

How many of us,

especially in smaller families and stuff,

how many of us eat a twenty-pound pumpkin

in one sitting or for one meal or

something like that?

The Cherokee tans are cool because you can

Like, calculate it like, okay,

a pumpkin per person because they're kind

of smaller.

They're, like,

smaller than your head for sure.

Maybe the size of both fists and stuff

like that.

But, yeah, the Cherokee tans,

they're just more appropriately sized.

Yeah,

but think about all these things out there

where, you know,

if it's local and if it's in season,

unless it's fermented,

that's the only exception, right?

If it's local,

I'm eating it and whatever I can't get,

I pick up at the farmer's market or

whatever we don't have, I'll go there.

Um, folks,

I'll try to eat as many colors as

I possibly can, uh,

especially for those reasons as described

in that article.

All right.

So the next one here,

Israeli army officials accused Netanyahu

of seeking to escalate conflict conflicts

to delay elections report says.

Now, why is that good news?

Because hopefully,

hopefully his own people are finally

starting to turn on him.

There's a,

everybody wants to put Israel under one

giant hat.

It's just like the United States of

amnesia.

Most of us are not at all in

line with this.

Now, over there, the most,

I don't know where they are in that

continuum.

I don't watch it that closely.

But this is exactly what a lot of

people have suspected forever and a day,

that if this war ever ends,

then now all of a sudden Netanyahu's going

to go on trial,

which he was supposed to do a while

back.

Lo and behold,

some false flag happens over there.

They blame it on the Gazans.

There's a whole lot of stinky stuff going

on there.

But the reason I'm calling this good news

is that I hope the pressure of what's

going on there,

have these people turn on him.

And that's the only way they're going to

survive this thing.

Because right now,

I am so sick and tired of what

I'm seeing happen over there.

And I know a lot of people are

going to say, well, it's not my backyard.

Yeah, that's the problem with it.

Your government, mine too,

but I don't claim them.

But anyway, this government,

is responsible for making all this happen.

Yeah,

they're the ones pulling the trigger,

but we're providing the guns if you know

what I'm talking about.

I think you brought up a good point,

though, too.

Keep in mind,

most people aren't in line with their

government.

So maybe that should give you more of

a pause to be super enthusiastic to go

to war with another country,

considering a lot of people who aren't

down for what's going on are probably

going to die in the process.

And the people who are responsible for

what's going on probably aren't going to

die in the process.

So...

Yeah,

that's exactly the way it's always been.

Young men die for old men's wars.

And it's always been that way.

And I'm hoping because they're talking,

they're floating out the draft,

which it wouldn't shock me to have another

nine, eleven and all of a sudden, oh,

we got to go to war.

And all these Trump tards are going to

be the first ones lining up.

In fact, I said it before.

It didn't make me a very popular person.

But since when do I care about that?

Mark my words.

If we have boots on the ground somewhere

and it's in defense of Israel,

you're going to find these Trump tards.

These gold star mothers, I promise you,

will brag about the fact that their child

was murdered over there, dying for Israel.

I guarantee it.

And by the way,

this ain't the Israel from the Bible,

ain't even close.

These people don't have any genetic

history.

It's one of the biggest frauds ever.

Yeah,

this was brought around by a whole lot

of interest that I'm not going to get

into right now.

I've talked about it before.

So the last one here is higher protein

meals, lower blood sugar,

regardless of the source.

Bottom line is I'm bringing this article

up because I'm kind of leaning back to

what I do in my own life.

And I've noticed a difference by doing

this.

If I have any carbs,

I might eat twice a day.

Some days I eat three times a day.

It might be a snack.

I really need to try to eat more.

But anyway...

My last meal, what I try to do,

if I'm going to have any carbs during

the day,

I try to have it at breakfast or

lunch.

And then at dinner,

it'll be primarily vegetables like

tonight.

For example,

I'll have a micro green salad along with

a bunch of other stuff in there as

well.

And I mean, this stuff, man,

I got everything in there,

fermented garlic, you name it.

It's all in this salad.

And then I have some salmon.

that I put in there.

Now, according to Dr. Jack Cruz,

you want to be trying to get as

much DHA as you can.

And you're going to get that from fish,

fish oil and stuff like that.

So I try to,

and I've noticed a big difference that

When I don't have carbs at night,

I find out that I sleep a whole

lot better.

And particularly when I have fish at

night, I seem to sleep even better.

So that's exactly what I do.

So tonight it's salmon, you know,

another night or two during this week,

I'll have a herring or something like

that.

It might come out of a can.

I'll have maybe some more salmon and, um,

it makes all the difference in the world.

But honestly, uh,

I just think that I'm way more chill,

and I think I actually sleep light years

better when I do that.

So I wanted to bring that article up.

It's a little hack that I think I

haven't done enough research on it yet in

terms of myself,

but I think I notice a massive difference

when I do that,

when I have very little carbs at night,

and that's actually what Jack Cruz

recommends.

So on the fish note,

you're going to have to take your

granddaughter out trout fishing sometime.

We just got her a Paw Patrol.

We were in Walmart of all places and

she saw this Paw Patrol fishing pole.

She didn't even watch Paw Patrol.

She just likes the fact that there's

puppies on it.

And I saw this Paw Patrol fishing pole

and we ended up getting it.

So you have to take your trout fishing.

Yeah.

I'm going to take my little grandbaby

trout fishing and she's going to catch it

on her little Snoopy pole,

which is Paw Patrol.

Basically the same thing.

Can't wait for that.

All right, y'all.

So we're going to take a little pit

stop here and go to my man,

Eric Sider.

Hey,

Eric Sider here with your PimpCast tip of

the day.

Today's tip, you down with PDC?

You know me.

The PDC or Permaculture Design Certificate

course is the foundation of the

permaculture system.

The decentralized nature has allowed it to

spread far and wide,

but it is also why there is a

large variation in quality of instruction.

As Jeff Lawton says,

the students will eventually filter out

bad teachers.

And once you're certified,

you can teach straight away.

But most thinking individuals would want

to get experience in the field first.

After I took my PDC,

I couldn't get to Australia fast enough.

The recurring theme in my head during my

course was,

I don't know how to do any of

this.

We see permaculture as a specialty

education,

but it should be taught starting in grade

school.

The complexity and the details can be

added each year,

but by high school we should be producing

fully capable permaculture designers and

every school should be a working

permaculture demonstration site for the

community.

It's comically tragic how simple it is to

create communities of abundance,

yet we are ruled by psychopaths who seek

power and dominion over others.

Now, with all the videos and info online,

you might wonder,

is there a reason to take a permaculture

design course these days?

For my money,

there's just something magical that

happens when you go through a properly

structured design course that can't be

replicated by random series of videos.

Bill Mollison was a master strategist and

the structure of the PDC bears this out.

And as Jeff Lawton also says,

you just become terminally infected and

you will never see the world the same

way.

There are as many variations in quality as

there are teachers,

so it is unfortunately up to the student

to determine credibility.

There are online and in person versions.

There's everything to fit your schedule

and budget.

If you're serious about becoming a

designer,

there is no better education on the planet

than Jeff Lawton's online PDC.

But if you're just interested in the

education and or certification,

there are many other options,

some at an incredible value.

We are actually launching our first PDC

here in the Sacramento area,

and we still have a few spots open.

We are running a part-time version that

will be one weekend a month for six

months, and that starts September twelfth.

So if you are interested or know somebody

locally looking for a good quality class

at a very affordable price,

head over to permaculturefairoaks.org.

That's my dog right there, man.

I'm telling you, boy,

like every other time he knocks it out

of the park and I fully agree with

him.

There's something very magical about doing

a PDC in person.

You get to know some of the other

folks out there on a break.

There's just I mean, the online thing.

Yeah.

Jeff Lawton's course is absolutely

fantastic.

It is probably he's probably the best

teacher in the world.

But I'm going to tell you that there

are other options out there.

And I think you ought to get at

least two PDCs.

I think you should get it from two

different instructors.

You're going to see the world.

And like Eric said,

you're never going to see it again.

I remember driving back from Dallas

because when I was doing mine,

I was driving two and a half hours

to get there.

And it was one weekend a month.

And I loved how that was structured

because it gave me time to digest what

I just learned.

And I thought it was absolutely fantastic.

And frankly, that's where I met Eric.

And then later on did Jeff Lawton's

course.

And you're just blown away because all the

stuff that you might have forgotten

because there's so much.

It's like drinking from a fire hose in

a good way.

And I, you know what?

I don't know why that's not in the

homeschool curricula of so many people out

there.

You know,

I would absolutely put that in there.

What do you think, son?

Oh, absolutely.

And I can help you guys try to

figure out a good PDC.

There's a couple rules you can follow when

looking for a permaculture design course,

whether it be in person or online.

If it's at a university, run.

Nine times out of ten, it's not...

It's the exact thing that Bill Mollison

was trying to avoid with it being at

a college.

So keep that in mind.

That being said,

there might be a good one somewhere.

I heard the one in Oregon,

the Oregon State University PDC was

actually decent.

So maybe check that out.

And I think that one's also free.

So it's not like you're investing a whole

lot other than your time.

Also ask the teacher about the three

ethics or they might have the three ethics

posted somewhere.

And if it's EarthCare, PeopleCare,

and FairShare, run.

If it's earth care,

people care and return the surplus to the

first two ethics or a variation of what

I just said.

you're generally going to be good to go.

And then also look at,

it kind of depends on what your experience

is.

Like if you're looking to become a

consultant, then yeah,

you should probably invest a little bit

more into a permaculture design course

like Jeff Lawton's.

If you're just trying to apply this to

your own farm,

then you can go to like one of

the free ones on YouTube,

or I have a cheap one on Patreon.

I mean, it's not cheap.

There's a couple of different options on

what you want to do.

And it's at your own pace.

There's a bunch of different options.

Just keep in mind,

The three ethics of permaculture is a big

one,

and whether or not it's at a university

is also another big one.

But it's funny that he was talking about

it being established at elementary schools

and stuff,

because on the way to the park today,

me and my two-and-a-half-year-old,

almost three-year-old daughter were

talking about photosynthesis and why

trees,

leaves are green and stuff like that.

So that was a fun conversation.

And I almost kicked myself to that.

I almost said,

we'll talk about it when you're a little

bit older.

And then I wanted to punch myself right

then and there just thinking of making

that statement because I was like, well,

no, she can understand this now.

There's no reason she can't understand

this now.

I can explain this in a way where

she can understand it right now.

And she understands.

She now knows the fertility cycle, really.

She knows the fertility cycle between the

sun hitting the leaves of a tree and

Tree shoots down exudates and in exchange

it gets minerals and nutrients and things

like that from the soil.

And she understands that all because she

was wondering why trees leaves are green.

So there we go.

Yeah.

I think,

I think the world would be in a

lot better place if this was seriously.

And then Nancy actually,

she hit it out of the park with

that comment says, Billy,

we can't get schools to include shop class

anymore.

I, I mean,

that is Mike drop as it possibly gets

right there because,

and I think that's a massive mistake.

I loved – in junior high,

I loved shop class,

but I didn't take them in high school

because –

shop class was considered for the dummies.

That's how the teachers presented it.

And like a dummy, I believed them.

And only to find out,

here I am a craftsman, you know,

years later.

The teachers out there, folks,

they are doing,

most of them are doing a massive

disservice by steering people away from

trades and stuff like that.

Because I guarantee you,

most people that are getting out of high

school and going into a trade,

they're making light years more money and

incurring no debt

than the people that are going into

college for a degree in worthlessness.

And that's exactly how it usually works

out.

Trust me.

I got a military education,

a trade education, a college education,

and a farm education.

And the only one that didn't put money

in my pocket was that college education.

And that's two different degrees.

And the same with my wife.

So...

you you you what they're telling you is

the polar opposite of everything that

should be told to you so on the

on the topic of the college education real

quick you got a degree in business right

yeah associates in science and then one in

business yeah did you learn more from that

uh the degree in business than a two-hour

conversation with john willis

I learned, A,

I learned more from Rich Dad, Poor Dad,

Robert Kiyosaki,

and I learned more from podcasts,

people like exactly John Willis,

learned so much more from him,

learned from people like Ed Milet,

all these others,

and there's a lot of it that's mindset

training as well.

So there is so much out there.

This is exactly what Mike Adams actually

was talking in his podcast today,

that people are spending a fortune for

college in an education that you could get

using A.I.,

It is insane.

It is absolutely insane.

Like, you know,

Mars Hill University over here next to me,

when I was paying for a gym membership

over there,

I would ask the kids whenever the

opportunity would arise, you know, hey,

what's your...

You know, what's your major?

By and large,

every last one of them are going into

things like sports psychology.

And I'm like,

what do you do with that?

What do you possibly do with that?

Now, the ones going into nursing, sadly,

they're probably going to have a very,

you know,

a profitable career depending on what

they're putting out for this education.

But I'm here to tell you,

there's a whole lot of people out there.

That's why I did that front porch talk

a while ago talking about Mike Rowe.

And you could be out here operating heavy

equipment, making real nice money,

sitting in an air-conditioned cab.

And people are not even given that option.

You know, shop class.

If I had to do over again, man,

I would have taken shop class over some

of the other things that I did.

Because like you said, son, I mean,

the school of hard knocks is...

definitely a better teacher than anything

that they're going to have.

And I'm glad you pointed out,

don't ever take a PDC at a university

because they're going to whitewash it.

They're going to water it down.

And in fact,

if you take a PDC around here,

even where I live near Asheville,

you're going to find out the very same

thing that these lunatic lefties are going

to get in there and teach you a

bunch of garbage instead of just reading

what's in the doggone manual or witches,

witches are very popular in permaculture

too.

So keep that in mind.

Well, yeah,

it was funny because there was a girl

I had on this program a while back.

I'm glad you brought that up.

She was having a PDC.

I had no idea.

And it was one of the listeners out

there said, hey,

you might want to double check this girl.

She never said anything about being a

freaking witch.

And then sure enough.

Well, she knew,

but didn't bother telling me.

No,

she knew not to tell you is what

I'm saying.

She knew not to tell you.

Yeah, well, found that out.

And so I'm really careful these days about

who I'm going to recommend.

All right,

so let's just jump right into it.

Before we do, remember EMP Shield,

fifty bucks off with promo code PERMA.

Your number one threat isn't necessarily

EMP,

although these days you might be thinking

a little bit differently.

Your number one threat is always going to

be lightning.

Well,

if you use this thing on your house,

it's going to cover EMP and lightning.

But anyway,

if anything gets downstream of it,

they're going to cover you for twenty five

G's.

Find me another product out there that's

going to cover you like that.

That's how well EMP shield works.

Anyway,

fifty bucks off with promo code perma.

All right.

I want to talk about this one in

a big way,

going right back to that farmer's thing.

Stop buying your fertility.

Your farm already is making it.

Now,

I did an interview with Mike Adams last

week.

I think it's going to air this week

sometime.

And

This is why I wanted to talk about

this because so many farmers out there,

so many people that are gardeners,

you go to the store to go buy

your fertility.

And I think you're making a profound

mistake because son,

before I kick this off,

tell when they buy this miracle girl and

they put it in their garden.

Why don't you tell them what's actually

happening out there?

I mean, I mean, there's a,

there's a lot that's going on.

The salts are killing the microbes.

You're creating like a little, um,

uh, hard, uh,

compacted layer on the surface of your

soil,

which is cutting off respiration and also

killing the microbes on the surface of the

soil.

You're also forcing the plants to uptake

nutrients in a way that they don't uptake

nutrients.

It's, uh, you're, you're forcing the, the,

there's roots, there's feeder roots,

and then there's, uh,

roots that soak up water and you're using

the, the roots that soak up water.

You're forcing them to soak up nutrients

at the same time.

If they want this water,

then they have to take the meal,

grow at the same time.

Um,

It's just destroying the biology.

It's not really giving bioavailable

nutrients to the plant.

You might have a bigger plant,

but if it's less nutrient dense or its

ability to acquire nutrients afterwards

goes away,

then it was all for nothing anyway.

You have just basically a carbon structure

filled with flavored water,

and that's kind of it.

You really want to avoid... Now,

if this is your first...

time ever grown if you're brand new to

it and you were just following basically

the recipe from what you saw on youtube

don't stress because you didn't

permanently damage anything we're about to

talk about like some alternatives that you

can do other than buying your milk or

grow but your miracle grow it's it's like

a loop that a lot of commercial farmers

get stuck on and now granted they're not

using straight up like miracle grow

they're using

whatever variation was calculated for

their property but once you start doing it

and once you get on that cycle of

constantly doing it you're kind of stuck

on that cycle without um just to maintain

production to keep those payments keep

paying those payments that you have on all

the equipment

and stuff like that and depending on who

they're insured by uh they might have to

use a certain amount or if their field

looks a certain way they're no longer

insured uh things like that so keep those

in mind for example like if they don't

cultivate between some insurance companies

if they don't cultivate between uh like

rows of corn uh and leave the weeds

to maintain like a living mulch then they

won't be insured anymore on that crop so

Keep that in mind.

It's a sickening system,

but I'm even talking about on the local

level, on the small level,

the personal gardener,

the same things apply.

You don't need that stuff.

And the cost of it is going through

the roof because most of the

nitrogen-based fertilizers are derived

through the Haber-Bosch process.

Well,

you've got a lot of those choke points

that are being cut off or are cut

off right now with these wars that we

have going throughout the world.

Ukraine was one of them.

That's where a third of our stuff came

from.

Of course,

we get a lot out of Canada.

But also,

you don't have to be mixed up in

any of that stuff.

So right off the bat,

I'm going to say manure is an asset,

even your own,

if you know how to manage it.

There is a thing called human ore.

You can manage that stuff.

There was a time where we lived,

you know,

where we had a composting toilet where I

could take all the urine out of there.

We got to do something with it.

Well, there's a whole variety.

I'll come to that hopefully in a minute

if William doesn't jump it,

but I'm just talking about manure.

It doesn't, it's not a waste product.

You know, your chickens, sheep, cattle,

pigs,

they're all mobile fertility factories.

It all comes down to whether or not

you're managing them properly.

Most people are letting their stuff,

they just let them go out there.

They don't move them or they move them

once a week and they think they're being

affected by doing that.

That's not the way you should do it.

And that's not the way nature does it.

So, you know,

you can be putting that carbon in biology

back into production and

But I would also caution you to make

sure you have animals.

If they're in that field,

if you're worming them all the time,

you're going to be killing your top

predator in the soil if you're giving them

dewormer.

So you want to make sure your management

practices are on point.

And the ones that can't pass the mustard,

you need to put them in the freezer.

You can't be friends with your animals.

So I'll kick it over to you.

So manure is my number one.

And if you are worming

uh or if you do have to worm

try to do it in like an area

where you like a sequestered area uh like

a sacrificial plot or something like that

because you are going to be killing the

top predators um the next one I have

is I try to include like areas on

your property they're going to naturally

collect uh you know some fertility that's

not my full list but some of these

are that so the edges on your property

uh your fence lines uh your the where

your pasture meets the forest

the edges on your property where two media

two or more immediate interact that point

at which they interact the edges those are

going to naturally collect um fertility so

let's think of the fence line on my

fence line in the backyard i have tomato

not tomatoes i have sweet potatoes and i

have uh i believe some watermelons or

pumpkins one or the other i think they're

watermelons i have those growing along the

side of my fence line

That's doing two things.

A,

once leaves start falling and there is

already leaves over there,

it's going to naturally collect mulch

because fence lines with the edge effect,

it's going to naturally collect leaves.

As soon as the leaves start falling,

which the elm tree leaves have already

started falling and the wind blows,

it's going to blow them up against that

fence.

It's acting as a net and it's going

to collect fertility in that way.

Also,

birds are going to come over to that

fence and they're going to perch along the

fence.

They do that all the time.

They're going to poop on those leaves,

that nitrogen,

high nitrogen is going to interact with my

high carbon and it's going to slowly break

down over time,

slowly providing the food that my microbes

are going to need along those fence lines.

So most people avoid the fence lines or

keep a gap off their fence lines between

what they grow and the actual fence line.

I'm arguing maybe you should do the

opposite.

grow up against the fence line because

it's going to be passively, uh,

fertilized.

It's going to be passively taken care of.

Also, it gives you another, uh,

in this case,

gives you another dimension to grow in,

you know, vertical.

And you can passively fertilize your crops

that way.

For example,

like the sweet potatoes and the

watermelons have not been fertilized in

any kind of way.

I didn't even add compost extract or

compost or anything like that.

I kind of wanted to see what that

soil would do by itself.

And the only thing that it gets from

me is occasional water.

And I just found out today that the

water that I had set up back there

ain't even reaching the sweet potatoes and

they're still doing pretty fantastic.

uh yeah my mine is the edges on

your property and fence lines those are

going to collect fertility

Great ideas.

My next one is going to be one

I've talked about quite a bit and it's

urine.

It might be one of the most valuable

overlooked resources on a farm and nobody

ever thinks about it.

I keep talking about doing this video

where I take all the ways in which

urine can be very, very, very useful.

I prefer to use it mostly in the

compost pile and looking at the work of

Dr. Ed Group,

And most farmers probably don't even know

about this,

but there's an other world of science out

there that most people are not going to

talk about it.

And when you pee or when you capture

your urine, as I do,

And you got to be careful about it

too.

You might not want to stick it in

the hot weather or it's going to wind

up turning into ammonia.

So I refrigerate mine and I use it

for a whole bunch of things.

So aged urine also has a lot of

good medicinal uses.

I'm not really talking about that right

now, but in your compost pile,

it is a fantastic thing because what's

happening is

If it needs nitrogen out there,

even when it doesn't,

I'll still add it from time to time

because it is a piece of me that's

going into that pile.

And the microbes in that pile all the

way down to the archaea

Believe it or not, according to Dr. Group,

and I tend to think he's right on

this,

is that they are absolutely positively

going to structure your compost in such a

way that benefits you.

There's also ways to use it like in

a watering can or something like that,

where you're able to take that urine.

You're going to want to make sure you

got good water in there,

but you got to be careful too.

So you might want to look at some

recipes on how to go about that.

should you let somebody with medication

pee on your compost i don't think it's

going to make a difference the truth of

it is even if they're on those medications

i think a lot of the toxins are

going to be tied up in so many

different ways the good thing is is that

at the end of the day if you

have a really really solid pile out there

it should be handling all the waste and

tying them up so you shouldn't really have

to worry about that a whole lot

I think the only concern with the

medications,

I think the only concern that people had

was the SRIs or SSRIs,

the serotonin reuptake things, those ones.

I think that's where the concern was.

Now, I don't know,

but I would err on the side of

dad for sure.

Yeah,

I would think a lot of that would

be tied up.

I haven't done the research on that,

but honestly,

I'm not using anything but vitamins and

what's in my soil out here.

So personally,

I'm not concerned about that.

But also, if you're on those things,

you should be trying, as Dr.

Ben or Pharmacist Ben Fuchs often talks

about,

if you're on any kind of medications,

it should be abridged until you find a

way to get off of them.

That's where I'm at.

Anyway, urine is number two.

Honestly,

I need to get that video done and

talk about all the different uses out

there.

My number two is going to be like

if you have any kind of body of

water,

the bottom at the bottom of that body

of water is going to be a collection

of anaerobic,

basically broken down nutrients that are

ready to be applied to the soil as

long as they get turned aerobic first.

So anytime you dredge your pond or even

at the bottom of a swale, I mean,

the swales of the demonstration site,

you can't even see bare soil.

In fact,

you wouldn't even know where the mulch

ends.

And the soil begins in those swales

because it's so many years of breaking

down and things like that.

But if I were to dredge the bottom

of that, that would be really,

really good like fertility that I could

add to my garden or I could add

to like larger scale crops or even

pastures.

The key, though,

is that right now it's anaerobic,

which means it's lacking oxygen.

The key is to make it aerobic first.

Make sure you have like you populated the

area with a bunch of good guys.

That way, you know,

it's going to be beneficial to whatever

you're applying it to.

I know there's a lot of like anaerobic

teas and Johnson Sue bioreactor,

not Johnson Sue bioreactor, the Jadam,

the Korean natural farming and stuff like

that.

I'm not saying that those things don't

work.

But it's something you have to do year

after year after year.

We're trying to remove ourselves from the

fertility cycle because frankly,

it's just not our job.

Our job is to steward the system and

make sure that cycle can actually

function.

But fertility itself should be something

we should be able to remove ourselves from

once we've achieved certain levels on our

property.

And this is one of the ways you

could do it.

So if you have a pond,

you could dredge it,

depending on how old it is.

You could dredge it, make it aerobic,

and then apply it.

If you even have swales,

if you're near a creek,

you could even go to like the edges

of the creek and still get some sort

of dredgeable material,

depending on how fast moving it is and

things like that.

But if it's ever flowed or jumped the

bank,

you notice that there's like debris fields

caught up against the trees and things

like that that would be a good place

to go get uh that one's probably going

to be aerobic if it's not underwater but

that would be a good place to get

material as well onto you dad

Yeah, compost, I mean, obviously,

I can't believe you haven't already

brought it up,

but compost in and of itself, folks,

if you got that right,

everything else kind of falls into place.

That is pretty much all I'm ever going

to use at this point.

I mean,

there might be some amendments or some

things out there that I might try,

but by and large,

if your compost is on point,

Everything else can be on point,

but you want to learn how to make

some compost,

which is why we've done a lot of

content on that very thing out there.

So, I mean, you got your manure.

Let's say, for example,

you're able to collect it from, I mean,

this is where DEI actually works is in

a compost pile.

I mean that.

You want as many different manure sources,

clean ones, if you can find them.

Obviously, the bedding on those animals,

that can be multipurposed.

I mean,

absolutely used in there in your compost

pile.

Spoiled hay, I mean, you know,

you got food scraps, crop residue,

all these different things can be

absolutely positively used in that compost

pile and then creating the fertility for

you to never, ever, ever,

have to go back and buy this stuff.

In fact, you shouldn't be buying it now.

You don't need it.

That's the bottom line.

I mean, those victory gardens, y'all,

what were they using?

They didn't have this stuff you have now.

They were making incredible gardens just

from compost.

Now,

I will make the argument as far as

fertility.

It depends.

I would argue if you're buying like the

Kyber Bosch produced nitrogen-based

fertilizers or any of those types of

salt-based fertilizers, then yeah,

don't buy it for sure.

But if you're buying fertility in the form

of like, hey, doing the Greg Judy route,

then I would say, yeah,

as long as you're treating that as like

an investment,

like you're making these purchases now

with the intent of getting off of these

purchases in the future,

I would say buying fertility that way

probably...

a good idea.

But my next one is going to be

like mobile animal systems,

mobile animal systems with a long rest

period,

because it doesn't make any it doesn't

make a difference if you have a mobile

animal system,

but they hit the same spot every two

weeks.

That's not going to be beneficial and

that's not going to produce fertility on

your property.

But if you can use mobile animal systems,

all your animals are moving the way they

would be in nature.

All your animals are moving and they're

giving the land a long rest period.

That's going to increase and provide

fertility to your property.

The animals are going to come through.

They're going to stimulate growth by

eating part of the grass.

They're going to poop in the area.

Then the chickens can come through and

scratch up the poop and spread it around.

Or just over time,

the manure itself will kind of get spread

around through microbes and things like

that.

But that is providing fertility that the

system itself, the method itself,

the technique is providing fertility on

your property because you could have ten

cows on a piece of property and them

being like, you know,

a detriment to the property.

Or you could have a ten cows on

a piece of property and they're building

the forage quality and the fertility of

the property,

all depending upon the system that you're

using them in.

Yeah.

Yeah,

my next one is going to be just

straight up wood chips.

You know,

you got that video from Paul Gouchy.

I think it was back to Eden Garden

thing.

There was a few things left out there,

but by and large,

like William said,

we want to throw in the fertility and

then get to a point where we don't

really have to,

we can kind of write ourselves out of

the equation.

And depending on what it is you're doing,

like in our orchard systems and things

like that.

Good night, man.

Wood chips.

I can't even,

we got soiled down there around some of

these trees.

That's so incredibly punchy.

I could put a,

I could put a foot worth of wood

chips down there and it's ground level in

months.

Now, I'm using aged wood chips.

I know a lot of people aren't.

But still,

to take wood chips and for those to

be transformed in the soil...

is absolutely astonishing so yeah i'm not

going to spend a whole lot of time

on there but in so many different ways

like in our food forest down there it's

completely on autopilot at this point it

is highly fungal dominant and this thing

really requires now i need to go out

there and do some pruning on the aisles

and stuff like that but everything we put

in there when it was low you know

we were able to grow some strawberries out

there now that it's getting a little bit

grown up

Okay,

strawberries aren't necessarily going to

work out there, but other things are.

Things I didn't expect to be blowing it

up.

And right now,

those wood chips are really,

really the number one way to go about

it.

Requires very little maintenance.

You know, when it rains too much,

those wood chips,

when they're broken down,

it captures all of it.

When it doesn't rain enough, well,

they provide it.

It all works out.

So wood chips, in a big, big way,

can turn your stuff really on another

level,

but it's going to take a little bit

of time.

Real quick,

I did want to show this comment real

quick.

Clothes Circuit said that Blackbird guy is

a crook, man.

Race grifter alert,

which the main thing I wanted to point

out there was the term race grifter.

I've never heard that before,

but that perfectly applies to that dude

right there.

Race grifter.

My next one is going to be speaking

of food for us.

Chop and drop.

There's no reason.

Let's scale it down to like a small

garden or let's say you're growing

tomatoes in your garden.

I have tomatoes out in my garden right

now.

There's no reason my tomatoes this year

can't provide the fertility for my

tomatoes next year.

Meaning I'm only going to eat of the

biomass of that plant.

I'm only going to eat like ten percent

of the biomass from that plant,

the red fruit from that plant,

the rest of the stalk,

the leaves and stuff like that.

That's not edible to me.

And if it is,

I'm not aware of how.

And so what I can do is take

that stock after it's done producing,

take that stock,

chop it down and let it decompose on

the ground.

The finer I chop it,

the faster it's going to decompose and

might be the easier to work with depending

on what you're going to plant next after

that.

But as it decomposes,

as it provides food for the microbes in

the soil and covers the soil at the

same time,

it's going to provide fertility for my

tomatoes next year.

It's providing food for the microbes that

are going to provide fertility for the for

the tomatoes next year.

It's not directly,

but it's an indirect fertility, I guess,

download for the tomatoes next year.

So keep that in mind.

Your crop could potentially provide the

fertility for the same crop next year.

Sweet potatoes are another good one.

If you're not eating the vines and the

leaves,

there's a lot of biomass that comes off

of sweet potatoes.

And I would say the volume is probably

like sixty, forty,

probably sixty or volume.

It might be higher than that,

like seventy, thirty,

seventy percent of being something that

most people don't even eat.

You can turn that into fertility.

You can use it in compost,

turn it into fertility.

That way you can let it chop and

drop right on the ground,

whatever you want to do.

But it can provide the fertility for your

sweet potato crop next year.

onto you.

Yeah.

I'm all about that, man.

I mean, as far as man,

people don't believe me when I say I

don't weed, I really don't weed.

I mean,

it's stuff like that where I'm like,

and then honestly,

with some of the things that I've been

learning as of late, and I hope to,

you know,

from like people like John Kemp and some

of the others I'm realizing,

and I have actually,

before I even heard John Kemp talk about

it, I was already employing,

like I was talking earlier with the micro

greens in between the aisles that if you

can get a bunch of different families in

there, then all of a sudden,

There's an incredible amount of

cooperation that's all happening at the

same time.

So yeah, I'm a big believer of that.

Also,

I'm going to say my last one's going

to be turning somebody else's waste

problems into your fertility.

I mean,

this is why Greg Judy doesn't hay his

own property.

If he's going to use hay,

he's going to bring it in from somewhere

else from a place that's reliable.

Put that fertility on your own property.

I'm a big, big fan of that.

And I was talking about it a moment

ago with the wood chips.

But it could be something,

it could be businesses.

You know,

you got coffee grounds out there.

We got brewery, you know,

stuff coming off that brewery thing.

Feed a whole lot of animals with that.

And of course,

take their fertility out of the back end

and put it to work for you.

Spoiled produce.

So many different ways you can go about

using that,

either directly into your compost pile or

into your pigs or chickens.

You know, restaurant scraps.

I think I blew Mike Adams' mind when

I was talking about how we actually do

that.

I was talking about how one trip to

Chipotle was enough to feed six pigs and

a hundred chickens for a week,

and that's non-GMO food.

It's better than anything you could hope

to buy, and it's free.

I mean,

notwithstanding the amount of travel you

had to go to get there,

but

I'm going to be smart about this and

bundle it into another trip that I had

going anyway.

So there's so many different ways you can

go about this in so many different ways

where you can take all of that fertility

and you can take somebody else's problem

and turn it into your solution.

Another thing I talked about were the

Asian grocery stores around here.

They got to pay a dumpster guy to

come out twice a week.

Well,

you taking stuff that doesn't necessarily

have to hit that dumpster

could provide that fertility for you and

provide a blessing to them because instead

of going twice a week,

now it's only once a week.

So there's so many different ways you can

go about this.

All right, son, that's my last one there.

What do you got?

My last one is a leaf mold from

a forest floor of all the soil tests

that I've done.

Everybody across the board,

very few people, there's only been,

I think two tests where people were

lacking bacteria.

And one of them was right after doing

the silo sharp experiment.

Everybody's generally good on bacteria.

What everybody across the board is lacking

is fungi.

That's across the board.

I haven't gone to,

I haven't done a single soil test,

not a compost test,

but a single soil test where somebody's

fungal content was squared away for what

they were trying to grow on that

particular piece of area.

So what you can do is go into

an older forest

start kicking over like leaves that have

been there for a long time you should

see thick white strands underneath and if

you do see those then collect those or

even if you see like some different

colored strands or different size strands

of like a fungal network then collect

those bring them back and make compost out

of them or add them to your compost

or add them directly to your raised beds

whatever you want to do

there's a bunch of different ways to apply

it to your soil but it's very very

important to get that fungal content to

your soil it'll naturally show up but this

is a way as long as you're doing

everything correctly it'll naturally show

up eventually or you could go get it

bring it to you properly and immediately

start inoculating it um inoculating your

soils with a little bit more fungi now

on top of that i also wanted to

add one more thing

And you might have to buy,

you might not need to,

if you are in the business of buying

fertility right now, you might need,

or you might not have to buy as

much as you have been

once you sequester the fertility leaving

your property that's that's something else

that some people don't really factor in is

that you're losing fertility anytime you

have an erosion event you're losing

fertility anytime you leave the soil bare

you're losing fertility anytime i mean

there used to be a saying amongst uh

amongst farmers not too long ago that they

would only sell what could walk off their

property with on their own

will,

like with their own four legs or their

own two legs.

They didn't sell crops.

The crops stayed on the property.

They sold the animals that could walk off

the property on their own because they

left their fertility behind.

The crops,

if you remove the crop and then sell

that,

you're not leaving the fertility behind.

Depending on what it is,

like with the example with the tomatoes

and sweet potatoes,

if you do it correctly,

you could potentially leave the fertility

behind.

But most people aren't.

Most people aren't going that route.

So try to figure out like if you

have erosion anywhere,

try to sequester the erosion.

If you have any bare spots,

try to cover those up, things like that.

And that that'll help you in a way

of like not having to produce as much

fertility because now you're not losing as

much fertility anymore.

Yeah,

I think if I'm going to sum up

everything that we're doing here,

that we're saying here, look, folks,

bottom line is things are getting hard and

they're going to get harder,

as a lot of you well know in

the sound of my voice.

But before you drive to the farm store

and buy another bag of what they call

fertility, walk around your property.

You might be standing on what you were

about to pay for in a nutshell is

what I really want to get to.

And by the way, folks,

before we close this out,

if anybody hasn't given us a five-star

review in all these different platforms,

please do.

It definitely helps us to get to more

people out there because that's exactly

what we need right now.

We need more people that are able,

absolutely positively able to go out here

and start making a big, big difference.

in how they acquire their food because,

like I said, folks,

it's going to get crazy.

All right, y'all,

hopefully this was a blessing to you.

I want to thank everybody that caught us

live.

Until next time, stay alert.

Stay live.

Listen to the earth, they've got us.

The last seeds of shame.

Watch the world spin.

From the smallest sprout.

Till the harmony begins.

In the cycle of life.

Where the magic's alive.

Turn it to the beat.

Till the fire can thrive.

Those that make it true, true, true.

Through the flipping earth, through,

through.

So much wisdom in the
