Original Transplants

Episode 10 of the Original Transplants podcast features Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will updating listeners on happenings in the apiary, chicken coop, and edible landscape. Will commends the bees on an uptick in activity during the fall bloom, Sarah threatens the chickens with eviction if they don't start laying eggs, and both conjecture that deer are to blame for the missing leaves on the hardy kiwi vines. We discuss fall preparations for cold season plantings and cover crops in the biointensive kitchen garden and review agricultural news from Lancaster Farming on the topics of soil identification, neonicotinoids, local conservation efforts, and food waste. We'll post a transcript of this show with notes and references to http://spreadcasts.tumblr.com, and you can find more information about Satoyama Homestead at http://www.satoyamahs.org.
