Original Transplants

In unlucky episode 13, Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will recount some unfortunate times on the homestead, including how the ornery hive got its name: a tale of two bee package installations, how Henbit's prelaying behavior redesigned the chicken tractor condo, how a mouse saved Sarah's vegetable transplants from a hail storm, adventures with straw, homestead projects gone awry, tool abuse, fire failures, and more. We also review recent news on agriculture and the environment, including chickens challenging evolutionary biology, varroa camouflage, and solar power projects in Morocco.
