Original Transplants

Episode 23 of the Original Transplants podcast finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will dusting off the recording equipment and updating listeners on winterizing the homestead. We feed the bees in the apiary, coddle the chickens through their molt, mulch and cover the garden beds, save seeds, shred leaves, and watch for juncos - harbingers of winter. We also update listeners on agricultural and environmental news from Lancaster Farming on the topics of black market seeds, processing surplus pumpkins, horizontal gene transfer with implications for GMOs, and the rehabilitative power of gardens in prison.
