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
