Original Transplants

Episode 12 of the Original Transplants podcast features the return of Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will discussing updates from the apiary, chicken coop, and edible landscape. We'll talk about winterizing the hives and chicken tractor condo, transplanting and mulching strawberry crowns, preserving the fruits of our labors, and raking and shredding fall leaves for mulch. We wrap up by reviewing three weeks worth of agricultural news from Lancaster Farming and beyond on the topics of new research on soil nitrogen renewal, the 2015 pumpkin harvest, sustainability and the 2015 Dietary Guidelines, the Food Waste Challenge, and what happens when a farmer digs up mammoth bones in his field.
