1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: Hmm, it's soil Tom. Hello, welcome to it could happen 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: here we're talking about we're talking about dirt today, big big, 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: big dirt fans here. We love we love dirt, we 4 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: love soil. Um. And to help us talk about soil, dirt, ecology, growing, 5 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: for forging all of this kind of stuff, we have 6 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: Andy from the Poor Pearl's Almanac podcast about you know 7 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: what to do after you know, stuff kind of crumbles 8 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: away slowly, kind of kind of like kind of like 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: our podcast. Um. And we're not like our soil hopefully. 10 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Well I got some bad news for you there. Some 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: of us are not great at cultivating soil, which is 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: what we are talking about today is how to avoid 13 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: getting a lot of void, Like, how can we help 14 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: help against our soil just blowing away? Um? Yeah, that 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: is that is that is our discussion. I I wrapped 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: up like a week of research on California's specific climate 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: and drought and what all the farmers are doing. Um, 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: and a lot of their soil is blowing away and 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: so far their solution to that is just spray more 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: water on it, which the problem is there's not tons 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: of water. Um. So let's talk about dirt. Let's talk 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: about soil. I will hand it over to the residents. 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: Soy boy, the soil expert here, because I don't know 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about with dirt. My puns are getting famous, 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I know I have. That was that was just that 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: I was just ripping, ripping off of a title of 27 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: one of his episodes. So that's not original. Blame him 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: for the pond. Sorry, I do that a lot. So 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: in terms of building soil, there's it's really a basic 30 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: idea of how to do it, and it generally comes 31 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: down to understanding what a soil needs and how to 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: let the soil build through rest. And generally speaking, when 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: we plant our annual crops, what happens is you put 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: your tomato plants in the ground, whatever it might be. 35 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: You've got a great harvest, you let them die, clear 36 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: them out, and then the next year, maybe you throw 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: some more compost on it, or maybe you're like, I 38 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: just don't want time, I won't do it, and you'll 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: grow and you might have a pretty decent crop again, 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: and then usually by like the third year, you start 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: to notice that your plants just aren't doing as well, 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: Like all the nutrients and the minerals have started to 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: get taken out of the soil, so you can either 44 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: continuously add new material to it which comes from somewhere. 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: Doesn't seem very sustainable. Yeah, it's absolutely not sustainable. And 46 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the alternative is to think about how can I build 47 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: up that soil without doing that, And there's a couple 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: of different ways we can do that. The soil can 49 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: get built from things like cover crops, so we can 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,559 Speaker 1: add cover crops generally things like nitrogen fixing plants, clovers, 51 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: hairy vetch, and a number of others that we can 52 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: used to help fix nitrogen into the soil, or we 53 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: can add other things to add biomass. So certain grasses 54 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: and things like that can be planted and they'll mind 55 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: deep into the soil to pull up nutrients when they 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: die off, or you can cut them down they start 57 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: breaking down, they return those nutrients back, but they're on 58 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: the top soil now, So that's another way we can 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: do it. Alternatively, if we're talking about a little bit 60 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: more land, you can take advantage of using animals so chickens, rabbits, 61 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: cheap cows, whatever it might be, reintroduce nutrients back into 62 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the soil through things like rotational grazing, and there's a 63 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: you know that that's a whole other subject of you know, 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: how different methods are better or worse for fixing nitrogen 65 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: and all the other nutrients back into the soil. And um, 66 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: we can talk about it. I don't know if you 67 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: want to spend an hour talking about it. I assume 68 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: that that definitely depends on the scale of your operation. 69 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I would assume absolutely. And you can do that on 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: a smaller scale, not necessarily cows, but like chickens. Chickens 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: can be run through chicken tractors, which can be as 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: small as you know, three ft by six ft. And 73 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: we were making yeah, we were making some fertilizer a 74 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: few months ago and basically we raked up well I did. 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: I I watched as people did this because I was lazy. 76 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: I watched people just rake up tons of sheep shit um, 77 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: because there we have there's a little sheep set up. Um. 78 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: And they were just raking up all the ship and 79 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: putting into a pile of dirt. And now it's been 80 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: like a it's been like a month or two, and 81 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: we should have some okay fertilizer by now, which we 82 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: can you know, use however we see fit. But chickens, chickens, 83 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: chickens as well not not everyone probably has sheep or 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: access to sheep um, but chickens are surprisingly easy to get. Yeah, 85 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: and depending on the city or in h you can 86 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: live in pretty dense places and still legally have chickens. 87 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: You might have to get comfortable with the idea of 88 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: slaughtering a rooster, but other than that, you know, there's 89 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: it's funny because what you'll see is like in the 90 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: early spring, everyone gets chickens and then by like July 91 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: u on on Craigslist or Facebook or Instagram, everyone's like, 92 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: free rooster to good home because they can't slaughter themselves. Yeah, 93 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: I've had I've had to watch a few roosters get 94 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: the get the old old acts. There was there was 95 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: this one rooster that would always wake up as we 96 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: were all going to bed. We would have like we 97 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: have like a movie night um, and we're like going 98 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: to bed at four am, and that's when the rooster starts. 99 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: We're like no, we're trying to sleep, and we're like 100 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: we need to kill that rooster. It's only time one 101 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: bad day to be like I cannot listen to that 102 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: sound again at least at least it went to some 103 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: good use. Yeah. Anyway back to dirt. Yeah, let's see 104 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: where were were talking talking about reintroducing stuff via you know, 105 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: chemical means I mean, or or just using animals and stuff, 106 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: or or rotating plants. Yeah. So there's a bunch of 107 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: different ways you can do it, and obviously it's all 108 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: defined by what your site needs. You know, the way 109 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: we're talking at this point has been mostly about like, 110 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: you already have a garden and that soil needs to 111 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: be amended to improve it. But if you're working with, 112 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: say a site that has almost no top soil. So 113 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: for example, a friend of mine out in California lives 114 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: near a highway and they had scraped all the top 115 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: soil around the highway to build up the highway. So 116 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: now there's no top soil, it's just garbage. So how 117 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: do you build that soil up? And there's a bunch 118 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: of different ways we can do that, whether it's through 119 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: taking advantage of free resources like um mulch. Like if 120 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: you see a tree getting cut down and they chip 121 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: it all up, those guys have to pay to get 122 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: rid of it most of the time, or they get 123 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: paid just enough to cover their gas. So if you 124 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: see it down the street and say, hey, you want 125 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: to drop it off in my house, they'll happily do it. Yeah. 126 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: We we just found out there is this business in 127 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: Portland that you can email them to do a chip 128 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: drop where they take all of their mulchion wood chips 129 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: and drop them off in your driveway and it's completely 130 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: free you you you you don't need to pay for it. 131 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: You can just schedule them to drop it off anywhere. 132 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: And a short aside, we also found out that they 133 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: don't require address verification, so you can do this as 134 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: a prank. Um. You can find out where the mayor lives. 135 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: Um or where I don't know a particularly bad person lives. 136 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: Let's say he wears armor and he brutalizes people and 137 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: threatens them with guns while having a badge. You can 138 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: find out if you know where it lives, you can 139 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: just deliver tons of wood chips right right on this driveway. Um. 140 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: And and they have a rule on their website is 141 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: once a delivery has been initiated, it's like once the 142 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: truck leaves you know, their office, it cannot be stopped. 143 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: There's no way, there's no way preventing it, And they 144 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: don't contact the house beforehand, no way preventing it. Just 145 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a random, random wood chip drop anywhere in any driveway. 146 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: It's a magical system. But you can also just use 147 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: this for you know, getting wood chips to help grow things. Yeah, 148 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: and we'll just such an underrated medium. It's like really 149 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: good for like water retention and helping soil not dry 150 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: out too fast. It's it's not just like aesthetically nice 151 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: looking and accessible. It's also like really good for the plants. 152 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: So I'll add two caveats to that, And the first 153 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: is that it's really important to know what species you're 154 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: dealing with that are the woodchips, because certain species have 155 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: chemicals on them that will reduce growth or stop it completely. 156 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: So like black walnuts are really well known on the 157 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: East Coast as having what's called juglone, And there's a 158 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: bunch of different species that again are probably unique to 159 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: where you live that you should just be aware of. 160 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: And the second one is that mulch and wood chips 161 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: are fantastic for your garden. However, the one drawback is 162 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: that for the wood chips to break down, they actually 163 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: utilize a lot of the nitrogen in the soil. So 164 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: that's just so you may have a bit of a 165 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: nitrogen problem or some kind of nitrogen fixing, So it 166 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: would be more important to think about cover crops and 167 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: either adding fresh compost or whatever it might be help 168 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: offset some of that nitrogen absorption. So so it's not 169 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: it's a great resource. It's just not perfect. You just 170 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: have to be aware of the limitations. I would like 171 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: to touch on why we're in a bit of a pickle, 172 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: like what what what what have we done agriculturally to 173 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: kind of make our soil so unfragile? Like what what 174 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: did we do wrong? Um on? Like even on like 175 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: a larger scale, and how how might someone like me 176 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: who just has a small set up, you know, not 177 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: make the same mistakes in my own personal garden. Sure, 178 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: so the beginning of the food system becoming what it 179 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: is today really started with oil. Access to things like 180 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: petrochemicals allowed us to start rethinking about how we grew 181 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: food and forgetting about traditional methods pummarily things like using 182 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: the newer I mean you think about it, You eat, 183 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: all the nutrients go out the sewer and then they 184 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: never go back into the soil. And we're constantly taking 185 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: from the same soils year after year, and the only 186 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: way we continue to produce is because we're dumping chemicals 187 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: and forcing the soil, which is just a medium at 188 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: this point, just dirt. It's not soil, and we're just 189 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: making it grow food because we're adding the chemicals the 190 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: plants need. But we've destroyed things like the bacterial community, 191 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: the fungag community, all these different things that are so 192 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: crucial for our food systems to be resilient in terms 193 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: of how can we move forward. Building that soil is 194 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: super important and understanding these cycles of where our food 195 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: comes from. The biggest challenge really is that we're trying 196 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: to create ethical food systems under an inethical economic model. Sure, so, 197 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: like you'll see, like perma culture is like a really 198 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: big thing today and for a lot of good reasons 199 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: because it challenges that methodology. However, because of things like capitalism, 200 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: we can't really have an honest conversation about the fact 201 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: that a lot of people will tell you can make 202 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: money doing perma culture, and you some people do, but 203 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: it's not it's not really what people think, Like there's 204 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: no way to ethically grow food and not have the 205 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: problems of yeah, you're you're facing or competing with somebody 206 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't have any ethical guidelines or framework that you 207 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: have to compete with. And I mean there's plenty of 208 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: things we can say that there are problems with perman culture, 209 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: and if you want, we can talk about that further. 210 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: But this is the primary reason why we can't really 211 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: fundamentally rethink our food system until things either fall apart 212 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: or capitalism no longer exists, or there are major subsidies 213 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: for these alternatives, whatever it might be. Yeah, let's see, 214 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: Like is even something like would you even say, just 215 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: like someone buying pre made fertilizers should be avoided in 216 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: that case, Like would you would you rather you know, 217 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: someone trying to make it ourselves? And like what's cheaper 218 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, like is just buying fertilizer or cheaper than 219 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: I would to actually make it yourself. There's another kind 220 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: of problem with these types of things that it turns out, 221 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, the way to make things better might cost 222 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: some people more money, you know than people who don't 223 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: really have as many resources, you know, just like a 224 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: regular person who's trying to do this, you know, they 225 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: don't have as much money, and would would just buying 226 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: pre made chemicals be you know, easier and cheaper than 227 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: doing work to kind of build it up more like 228 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: ute unquote naturally, I mean obviously, I think under capitalism, 229 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: anything that's efficient in terms of time and um, taking 230 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: advantage of things like scalability, which you know, mining nutrients 231 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: is always going to be more efficient when you're doing 232 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: it on a massive global scale, Like you really can't 233 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: compete dollar for dollar. And that's at least with what 234 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: I do with the poor pros almanac. We don't really 235 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: focus on that and instead say this is how things 236 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: should be, and how do we do that and when 237 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: do we need to start doing that if we know 238 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: that what exists today isn't sustainable and that ultimately this 239 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: is gonna fall apart in some capacity. Yeah, you talked 240 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: more about like trees specifically, and I would love to 241 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: love to hear more about that, you know, outside of 242 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: just you know, making your own like edible garden, doing 243 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: doing other kind of ecology related related work. Sure, so 244 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: trees have you know, so many benefits outside of the 245 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: fact that they can produce food. Um, we could look 246 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: at things like how they can manage a landscape and 247 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: reduce temperature extremes the way they can maintain soil quality 248 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: because of UM reducing things like runoff from major storms, 249 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: which are happening more and more frequently. Further, like I said, 250 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: they do produce food, and they sometimes they produce food 251 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: for us, sometimes they produce food for our livestock. Um. Additionally, 252 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: there's a process called silvil pasture, which is essentially when 253 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: you think of a farm, you think of a cow 254 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: walking around in a field. Instead that cows walking around 255 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: and a managed forest and the forest floor gets enough 256 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: sunlight to grow grass, so you're getting the benefits of 257 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: the grass as well as the trees. And you can 258 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: either be using those trees for lumber or for food 259 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: crops or whatever it might be, and you're getting the 260 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: best of both worlds. And in a lot of ways, 261 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: the civil pasture system more accurately represents the way the 262 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: landscape had been managed, especially here in the northeast and 263 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: generally the East coast by indigenous people. Um. You know, 264 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: they weren't using cows, they were doing prescribed burns and 265 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: things like that. But those environments are actually better for 266 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: things like a deer, which like like to exist on 267 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: like the margins of forests where they're getting the best 268 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: of both worlds. So that was how they managed a 269 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: wild Essentially they're wild grazing the native species. Yeah. We 270 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: just I'm just trying to think there's like we we 271 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: don't really have anything like that on a on a 272 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: large scale anymore. We've we've just jumped right into like 273 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: the the field and pasture thing. Yeah, I mean, you 274 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: think about it, it it makes sense that we haven't because 275 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: of the fact that to do that requires individuality. In 276 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: terms of how we manage a landscape. You can't run 277 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: a machine through you sbo pasture. You can't just make 278 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: like a template and apply to every situation. Everything is 279 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: much more unique based on their individual environment and ecosystem. Yeah, 280 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: and then it becomes less efficient to manage in terms 281 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: of how we manage things as a successional thing where 282 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: we have you go through the field and you seat 283 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: it with a giant machine, because you can do it 284 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: faster that way, you can add whatever amendments you need 285 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: more quickly. When it's just a flat piece of land 286 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: with nothing in the way, so on and so on. 287 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't It goes right in the face 288 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: of how we think of efficiency despite the fact through 289 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: it's diversity, it's more resilient to what's coming in terms 290 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: of climate change, especially the logs run. Yeah. Um, in 291 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: the last episode we talked a bit about grilling gardening. 292 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: Can this like intersect with with this idea of like 293 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: growing in the forest? Um? Is there? You know? I 294 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: assume there's like a decent cross over there. Absolutely. So 295 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: generally speaking, a lot of people that are into silvil 296 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: pasture are also thinking about things like tree crops. And 297 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: one of the things that I really focus on is 298 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: thinking about foods that we don't traditionally think of as foods, 299 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: or at least not as like staple crops. So like 300 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: while people might be familiar with kind of the odd 301 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: fruits like per simmons, you might know what a persimmon is. 302 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: You might have one or two, or maybe make per 303 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: simmon bread. That's not usually a large part of anyone's diet, no, 304 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: And that's like, that's the challenge that we really have 305 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: is while people like to incorporate these types of things 306 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: in permaculture into you know, how they think about their 307 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: relationship with the environment, Like nobody's giving up their toast 308 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: in the morning and that's you know, a third of 309 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: your diet or whatever it might be, and that's where 310 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: we need to fundamentally shift how we think about food. 311 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: So you're saying that we need to change in order 312 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: to address these large systemic issues that have caused many problems. 313 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 1: We need to change the way we extract resources from 314 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: the earth and maybe reevaluate how much we do. So yeah, 315 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's no small feet, is 316 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I know, I'm just saying, like, you know, 317 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: that's the this specific thing around like food and diet 318 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: is the same route problem we have with climate change 319 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: on a larger scale of like just doing you know, 320 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: progress for progress's sake without realizing that this is not 321 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: a sustainable way to do things. And infinite growing and 322 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: like infinite expansion, maybe it is a bad idea and 323 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: maybe it has some consequence. Who has some costs? Who 324 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: would have thought that infinite growth on a finite planet 325 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: wasn't sustainable? Oops? Yeah, The point that I'm really trying 326 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: to drive home is that we really need to rethink 327 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: what food looks like and it has to be in 328 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: a meaningful way that it can't just be those odds 329 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: and ends. And that the thing I think people forget 330 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: is that food is a huge component of our culture 331 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: and our identity. Absolutely think about food and identity. The 332 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: reason why our identity is surrounded around food is because 333 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: food is the byproduct of the environment that we live in. 334 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: And it's you know, for it's been a couple of generations. 335 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: And we went from the reason why Italians eat x 336 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: y z s because that's what grows there. Two I 337 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: eat this because my family does, but I don't know why. 338 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: And that's the way those things relate to one another 339 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: is have been completely lost, and we need to figure 340 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: out how to do that again. Can you point to 341 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: any examples of these things you're talking about of like 342 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: you know, of systems existing now or in the past 343 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: that of kind of shown these methods of viewing food 344 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 1: and viewing you know, growing and soil cultivation, so like 345 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: any indigenous practice. And like we say indigenous, and we 346 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: usually mean like North America or South America or Australia. 347 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: But even if you look across Europe, you know, before 348 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: capitalism kind of got its clause into the rest of 349 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: Europe or all of Europe, like there were plenty of 350 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: indigenous practices and in some places they continue and the 351 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: way that people lived um reflected the needs of their 352 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: ecology and how people could relate to that ecology. The 353 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: reason why Nordic countries have high amounts of meat in 354 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: their diet is because of what grows there and what 355 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: how they can utilize what grows there to feed themselves 356 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: through animals and things like that. Hmm, yeah, I mean 357 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: that is that is generally what we we hear is 358 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, look at the various indigenous methods of growing 359 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: um and how they how they fed people in their 360 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: media area, and thinking like, how can we take those 361 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: similar ideas and scale it up? Because I mean, they 362 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: weren't growing food for seven billion people. But I know, 363 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: like we grow way too much food for what for 364 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: many people, maybe not too much food, just we distribute 365 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: it in a very unefficient way because we don't do 366 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: it for what we need. We do it for profits, 367 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: and like we we we throw away so much food 368 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: that we grow as you know, globally UM. But I 369 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, when I think of these more like older 370 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: methods of growing food, it's it's harder for me to 371 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: picture that, you know, feeding an entire city, right, And 372 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution is here. This isn't 373 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: really the thing I focus on a lot. But is 374 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: there a way to kind of scale up these like 375 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: smaller scale things that you know, people can do in 376 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: their own yards on any kind of mass level or 377 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: is that just kind of rely back on the same thing. 378 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: We've need to like re reevaluate how much we consume 379 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: and how we consume it. So I think there's a 380 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: little bit of both. I think we do need to 381 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: reevaluate what we're consuming and the volume that we're consuming, 382 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: as well as um, you know, the the waste specifically 383 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: in terms of those two things that we tend to 384 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: lose a lot of food that otherwise is useful um. 385 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: But also there is a lot of opportunity and wild 386 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: places like maybe New York City because of the development 387 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: around the city, might not there might not be any 388 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: way possible to grow food like within the metropolitan or 389 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 1: even the region. We know that, like, and this is 390 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: something I probably should have checked before the staff, But 391 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: it's something like there's four acres of arable land for 392 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: every person on Earth, and four acres is like that's plenty, 393 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: that's plenty, That's absolutely plenty. UM. But like, one of 394 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: the things that's really important is to start thinking about 395 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: how we can decentralize these systems in order to have 396 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: those clusters of places where those things are more um 397 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: capable of growing and handling the production that's necessary. And 398 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: so maybe rethink about what what urbanization really should be 399 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: and what it should look like. And you know, in 400 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: the future, while things might seem like, well, you can't 401 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: ask people to leave New York City as climate change 402 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: worsens in our food systems start to fall apart, that 403 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: might be a much easier conversation to have, while today 404 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: that seems kind of radical. Yeah, and at the very least, 405 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: maybe we should maybe we shouldn't make any more New 406 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: York cities absolutely. Um, is there any like resources online 407 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: that you can point to that talks more about these 408 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: types of topics, or like books or like anything in 409 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: this general was growing on the growing side of things 410 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: and then like the more like ecology side of things. 411 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: So Tom Wessels has this really great book called The 412 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: Myth of Progress, which talks about complex system science and 413 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: essentially what that is is decentralization and um, the benefits 414 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: of having diversity within a community and in fact that 415 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: any any power that's you know, centered in one specific 416 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: place ends up having imbalances and has less resiliency, and 417 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: that plays until it's focused around ecology. But I think 418 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: it's really helpful, especially if you're an anarchist. I think 419 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: you can through the lens. Yeah. Yeah, so that that's 420 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: definitely one place to look in terms of like growing food. 421 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's really any books that really 422 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: address it from this perspective of climate change and decentralization, 423 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: but there's plenty of work online about silver pasture and 424 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, food force, any of these types of things. 425 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: YouTube has like a vast array of resources, and of 426 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: course if you're interested in this kind of stuff, you 427 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: can come check us out on our podcast or proslamanac 428 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: we Uh, the entire show is pretty much around this 429 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: subject matter, So you want to learn more about it 430 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: and check it out.

We 437 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: are we are not super avid to plant people like 438 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: we're trying to start growing more stuff to our ourselves personally. 439 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: But I'm definitely not educated to talk on this, and 440 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm very very happy that you were able to when 441 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: you're generous with your time and knowledge.
