The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 68: Rookie Numbers finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah surprised to discover that Feedspot has named us #8 in the 20 best horticulture podcasts in the world. We introduce plans for a NCAA-style fruit bracket to determine once and for all what is the best fruit produced on the homestead. We visit the apiary, where Will is treating for varroa mite and recounting his adventures speaking about bees at a library with a resident observation hive. Will's beekeeping thriller, Here, the Bees Sting, is available everywhere books are bought (...and even on some pirating sites!). Almost one-year-old Lucy enjoys tea-time visits to the chicken coop, where matriarch seven-year-old black australorp brooder hen Mayapple still lays the occasional egg. Sarah is embarking on a pasture management project to establish white clover and replace encroaching weeds. In the edible landscape, tomatoes, peppers, okra are performing well, while summer and winter squash and melon are struggling along. Sarah discovered a new favorite way to prepare okra, with a tomato-yogurt sauce as the north Indian dish dahi bhindi. The stewards are busy reclaiming the yard from nature after Sarah's pregnancy-induced hiatus, and are trying to 'mulch all the things' before this winter's snowpack. For homestead fun, the stewards enjoyed watching a family of wrens raise their fledglings in the bark cavity of a natural white oak fence post along their garden, and are looking forward to filling the chest freezer with produce, chiles rellenos, sustainably farm-raised meat, and venison. For homestead chores, Will has been on varmint control, while Sarah has installed downspout diverter kits on both rain barrels to stave off foundation damage. In agriculture news, Will shares a detective story about a persimmon orchard submitted by listener Wyoming (now Georgia) Jo, and Sarah goes nuts for nut trees with the Northern Nut Growers Association and Chestnut Growers in America when Lancaster Farming reports on their conference in Reading, PA.Episode NotesFeedspot - 20 Best Horticulture Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/horticulture_podcasts/ PennState Extension - Weed Management in Pastures https://extension.psu.edu/weed-management-in-pasturesPooja - Dahi Bhindi/Tangy Indian Okra in Yogurt http://poojascookery.com/dahi-bhindi-tangy-indian-okra/elizapples - "In the early 1900s, there was an Illinois attorney, Floyd Sonneman, who had it bad for persimmons."Dan Sullivan for Lancaster Farming - Nut Tree Growers Converge in Reading, PA for Annual Conference https://www.lancasterfarming.com/news/main_edition/nut-tree-growers-converge-in-reading-pennsylvania-for-annual-conference/article_77d486f4-1827-11ed-bc0f-c35fe142fde9.html

Episode 68: Rookie Numbers

Original Transplants Podcast Episode 67: is sponsored by Will's forthcoming book, Here, The Bees Sting [https://mercenarypen.substack.com/p/here-the-bees-sting-dropping-52022], available from Amazon and other major booksellers. Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah are busy with spring activities. In the bee yard, Will is hoping the newly installed bee packages will grow in strength and number - or be supplemented by a trapped swarm or two - after a cold and rainy start to spring that saw a lot of tree blossoms nipped by late frosts.  In the chicken coop, broody hen Mayapple is isolated in the barn to break her broodiness, and the rest of the chickens are testing their boundaries. Sarah is working on rehabilitating the edible landscape, using a mattock or "grub axe" to restore an overgrown garden bed. The currants and raspberries experienced a significant die-off, the peach buds all frosted off, and the apple trees are infested with eastern tent caterpillars. In better news, the homesteaders are harvesting sorrel, arugula, spinach, radishes, and asparagus, with strawberries not far behind. One of the pawpaw trees bloomed for the first time this year, and the homesteaders have enjoyed gifts of locally harvested rainbow trout from neighbors. Sarah just transplanted hot and sweet peppers and is on-track to transplant tomatoes, okra, and squash over the coming weeks. In other homestead chores, the trusty wood stove will have to be repaired or replaced. For homestead fun, Will explains culinary experiments with caul fat burgers and maple sugaring, and the joys of mowing during a heavy frost. The homesteaders are sharing their love of backyard birding with baby Lucy, who has taken a special liking to the hummingbirds. Sarah is enjoying her new ditch scythe from Scythe Supply [https://scythesupply.com/]. For agricultural news, Will shares new research on fungi language, Sarah spots a trend in articles on alternatives to turf lawns, and a new baby formula factory receives FDA approval in Reading, PA.Show NotesHere, the Bees Sting book by Will Caverly Scythe Supply https://scythesupply.com/Eastern Tent Caterpillar - Penn State Extension https://extension.psu.edu/eastern-tent-caterpillarCaul Fat Burger - Meat Eater https://www.themeateater.com/cook/recipes/caul-fat-burger-recipe Mushrooms Communicate with Each Other  - The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/apr/06/fungi-electrical-impulses-human-language-studyAmerica's Love Affair with the Lawn is Getting Messy - AP https://apnews.com/article/environment-gardening-white-plains-b2a0c7ab8940f93e872a90d86ea9c6f4Eco-friendly Alternatives to Lawn Grass - Family Handyman https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/eco-friendly-alternatives-to-lawn-grass/Baby Formula Poised to Feed Dairy Industry - Lancaster Farming https://www.lancasterfarming.com/farming/dairy/baby-formula-poised-to-feed-dairy-industry/article_1d28e1ae-d12e-11ec-9f56-77591ba479fa.htmlWhere There is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook http://www

Ep. 67: Grub Axe

Original Transplants Episode 66: Let Them Eat BugsOriginal Transplants Episode 66: Let Them Eat Bugs opens with Will's preparations to install new honey bee packages in the bee yard in the next few weeks. Sarah reports that the chickens are generally healthy, although brooder hen Mayapple's indulgence in wild bird seed has caused a mild flare up of sour crop. Activity in the edible landscape is ramping up for spring planting, including pruning in the orchard, repair of the kiwiberry trellis, and planting early season crops in the vegetable nursery: arugula, spinach, buttercrunch lettuce, collards, kale, mustard, bok choy, red and green cabbage, and kohlrabi. The homesteaders finally found a good use for excess ash from the wood stove: dumping on the gravel driveway to kill weeds. Homestead fun features a visit to Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area for the snow goose migration. Rock the Cradle updates the previous discussion of microplastics in newborns with a study correlating microplastics in the gut with digestive disorders. In agricultural news, we compare two stories from Lancaster Farming: one on the purported sustainability benefits of edible insect farming, and one on regenerative farming practices.Show NotesMoore (2017) Pawpaw: In search of America's forgotten fruit http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/960901243Pennsylvania Game News (March 2022) Bird bio: Snow goose (print only)Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area https://www.pgc.pa.gov/InformationResources/AboutUs/ContactInformation/Southeast/MiddleCreekWildlifeManagementArea/Pages/default.aspxAmerican Chemical Society (2021) Infants have more microplastics in their feces than adults, study finds https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2021/september/infants-have-more-microplastics-in-their-feces-than-adults-study-finds.html Sripada et al.

Resilience

Original Transplants Episode 64: Supply Chain ResilienceOriginal Transplants Podcast Episode 64: Supply Chain Resilience finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah planning for the year ahead in 2022 in the bee yard, chicken coop, and edible landscape. Will is researching spring bee package suppliers following the demise of his beehives, with one colony absconding and the other dead-out. In better news, the four pullets he raised from chicks during the summer are fully integrated into the flock and have begun egg-laying. Sarah is slowly prepping the vegetable garden beds for the off-season and plans to identify some of the weeds to see if any are useful and should be saved during clean-up. The homesteaders are enjoying the previous season's harvest, including glazing a roast ham with kiwiberry preserves and using dehydrated vegetables on veggie pizza.

Original Transplants Episode 64: Supply Chain ResilienceOriginal Transplants Podcast Episode 64: Supply Chain Resilience finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah planning for the year ahead in 2022 in the bee yard, chicken coop, and edible landscape. Will is researching spring bee package suppliers following the demise of his beehives, with one colony absconding and the other dead-out. In better news, the four pullets he raised from chicks during the summer are fully integrated into the flock and have begun egg-laying. Sarah is slowly prepping the vegetable garden beds for the off-season and plans to identify some of the weeds to see if any are useful and should be saved during clean-up. The homesteaders are enjoying the previous season's harvest, including glazing a roast ham with kiwiberry preserves and using dehydrated vegetables on veggie pizza. Will explains harvesting vermicompost and leachate from the worm farm, and the homesteaders plan new storage methods to prevent clumping in key homemade soup ingredients borax and washing soda. Sarah looks forward to enjoying bird watching with Lucy and her birdseed bell from Santa, and is browsing seed catalogs to plan next year's vegetable garden.

Episode 62: Rock the CradleEpisode 62: Rock the Cradle features the return of Original Transplants Podcast hosts Sarah and Will with new(born) co-host Lucy. Sarah introduces a new podcast segment, "Rock the Cradle," which will focus on parenting and child development on the homestead, including the impact of nursing on infants' microbiomes and immunity. The podcast continues with a visit to the neglected bee yard, where Will is winterizing his sole surviving hive; and to the chicken coop, where brooder hen Mayapple is moulting and an uneasy truce prevails between the old guard chickens Mayapple and rooster Jumpy and newly introduced pullets Kiwiberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, and Nightshade. The edible landscape is winding down after successful harvests of squash, peppers, tomatillos, peaches, persimmon, and figs. Will is gearing up for hunting season and discusses the benefits of scouting, and Sarah is hoping to weed invasive stiltgrass and Canada thistle before putting the gardens to bed for winter. Will closes the podcast with new research about the nature of 'wilderness' from indigenous and industrial society perspectives.NotesPoem, Then Hand that Rocks the Cradle by William Ross Wallace (1819-1881)http://www.potw.org/archive/potw391.htmlBreastmilk-Saliva Interactions Boost Innate Immunity by Regulating the Oral Microbiome in Early Infancy (2015)https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0135047Indigenous knowledge and the myth of 'wilderness' (2021)https://phys.org/news/2021-10-indigenous-knowledge-myth-wilderness.html

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 61: Gone CuckooThe Original Transplants Podcast Episode 61, Gone Cuckoo, opens with Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah rating their growing season an 8 out of 10 so far. Will details progress in the bee yard, including a modest honey harvest and first varroa treatment. Sarah describes the drama of introducing the new flock of pullets to the rooster, Jumpy, and brooder hen, Mayapple, who are the lone survivors of Will's recent cull. The edible landscape is in full swing with summer squash, greens, beans, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, and a mayapple, with promises of winter squash, peaches, persimmons, tomatoes, peppers, kiwiberries, elderberries, maypops, and the second raspberry harvest on the horizon. Sarah advises on the use of plant tags in the garden after realizing she's been erroneously harvesting her pinto soup beans as Italian green beans all season. Homestead chores were driven by hosting the recent baby shower; the homesteaders hope to make time for food preservation prior to Baby Caverly's arrival, but will not have a fall planting this season. Will shares his birding discovery of the yellow-billed cuckoo for homestead fun.

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 60: Brood XThe Original Transplants Podcast Episode 60 finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah sharing some personal brood news of their own, and reflecting on successes and failures in the apiary, chicken coop, and edible landscape. Despite a strong spring bloom season, the bees are off to a slow start and do not have strong honey reserves. Broody hen Mayapple rejects the introduced chicks, which are instead being hand-raised in a plastic tote in the garage, confirming experiences shared by listener Wyoming Jo (https://www.instagram.com/jodhopper_g/). The stewards are enjoying decent harvests of strawberries, shell and snap peas, lettuce, and leafy greens, but Sarah is disappointed in a poor showing from her rhubarb, broccoli, and weak tomato seedlings. For homestead fun, the stewards have enjoyed citing songbird fledglings, groundhog pups, and even a pregnant whitetail doe on the property. While Brood X cicadas were a bust on the homestead, Sarah reveals she is busting her waistline at 6 months pregnant with the couple's first child. We look forward to putting Baby Caverly to work on the homestead in the coming years! For homestead chores, the stewards talk turf and path maintenance, invasives management, garden bed prep, and vegetable transplants. The show closes with four agricultural news articles on the topic of "The Law of Unintended Consequences" or, as they say on the DarkHose Podcast, "Welcome to Complex Systems" about ineffective whitetail deer controls, how a pallet shortage will impact produce distribution, new technology to detoxify beehives of insecticides, and the upside of respecting complex systems on a cattle ranch.NotesPeriodical cicada by Greg Hoover and Michael Skvarla for Penn State Extension: https://extension.psu.edu/periodical-cicada'Incredible Waste of Money': America's Most Ineffective Deer Management Program by Patrick Durkin for Meateater: https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/wildlife-management/incredible-waste-of-money-americas-most-ineffective-deer-management-programPallet Shortage Could Hinder Produce Transport from Lancaster Farming Briefs, May 29, 2021, page A10 (not found online)Pollen-sized Technology Protects Bees from Deadly Insecticides by Krishna Ramanujan of Cornell University from Lancaster Farming:https://www.lancasterfarming.com/farm_life/conservation/pollen-sized-technology-protects-bees-from-deadly-insecticides/article_71b59793-9cd9-5624-a6a7-0a04f3e4f57a.htmlPatience Pays for Grass-fed Beef Farmer by Tom Venesky for Lancaster Farming:https://www.lancasterfarming.com/farming/beef/patience-pays-for-grass-fed-beef-farmer/article_f0e154ed-9fd1-5a92-8729-c824cb737eb3.html

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 59: Meat GardenThe Original Transplants Podcast Episode 59 begins with a visit to the bee yard, including an update on package installations, diagnosing queenlessness, and spring feeding techniques with homestead apiarist Will. Then, Sarah reviews three varieties of spring fever in the chicken coop: broodiness, Mycoplasma flare-ups, and wantonly crossing the road. The edible landscape is back in production as Sarah manages the seedling lifecycle from seed to transplant, including challenges with germination, seed hoarding, and pest predation. Most early season crops are now planted in the garden, with hot season crops starting in the garage nursery. Elsewhere on the edible landscape, the stewards are pulling (and eating!) invasive garlic mustard, pruning berry canes and shrubs, and spraying copper fungicide for pathogen management. For homestead fun, we are hunting morels, sustainably harvesting ramps (wild leeks), and planting a meat garden.

For homestead fun, we are hunting morels, sustainably harvesting ramps (wild leeks), and planting a meat garden. Agricultural news on what we can learn about pathogen resistance from feral honeybee colonies and native pollinators.Notes:Food plots guides by National Deer Association:<a href="https://www.deerassociation.com/manage/food-plots/Feral" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.deerassociation.com/manage/food-plots/Feral</a> colonies provide clues to enhancing honey bee tolerance to pathogens from Penn State News: <a href="https://news.psu.edu/story/644600/2021/01/19/research/feral-colonies-provide-clues-enhancing-honey-bee-toleranceStudy:" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://news.psu.edu/story/644600/2021/01/19/research/feral-colonies-provide-clues-enhancing-honey-bee-toleranceStudy:</a> Bumble bees lacking high-quality habitat have higher pathogen loads from Penn State News:<a href="https://news.psu.edu/story/643015/2020/12/21/research/study-bumble-bees-lacking-high-quality-habitat-have-higher-pathogenBeescape:https://beescape.org/Nesting" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://news.psu.edu/story/643015/2020/12/21/research/study-bumble-bees-lacking-high-quality-habitat-have-higher-pathogenBeescape:https://beescape.org/Nesting</a> resources [for pollinators] by Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation:<a href="https://www.xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/nesting-resourcesPlant" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/nesting-resourcesPlant</a> lists &amp; collections from Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center:<a href="https://www.wildflower.org/collections/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.wildflower.org/collections/</a>

Sarah and Will are informative and I really enjoy the show. I like that they cover the successes and failures that they’ve had and how they are adapting their plans as they go. This show is a good soundtrack to my own Homestead Chores/Fun.

Great show!

Y’all are great. I love the relaxed conversation it really makes the listener feel like we are sitting around the table with you. 
I especially love hearing updates from your homestead because I am trying to get to where I’ll be doing all the things you are doing there.
Please keep up the good work it is greatly appreciated!

Great stories! Great Conversation!

Ep 53 Homesteading for Food Security

Episode 36 begins with Will and Sarah discussing the finer points of swarm trapping, from timing to spacing to construction. Their new bees arrive soon and they also intend to catch some wild swarms using traps in the yard. Next, they discuss a sick chicken and how to quarantine a chicken to help with recovery. They also discuss a home remedy for an injured chicken's comb, in this case, Jumpy the rooster, whose wounds are being picked at by his hens.The difficult spring season is their next subject. They talk about the cold March, the high winds on the day of the podcast (4/15/18), and how they're going to protect their new seedlings from frost. Sarah has worked hard to plant a variety of seedlings and they need their help.Will then talks at length about his run-in with the Firethorn/pyracantha shrub in the yard, from Sarah's first encounter to his allergic reaction that resulted in a visit to the doctor. They end the podcast with an article on the Linnaean-naming convention conspiracy surrounding the holly variety cassina, AKA yaupon, AKA black tea, a native perennial plant whose leaves can produce a caffeinated tea.Yaupon holly: As noted in the podcast, there are varieties of yaupon that are hardy to PA's Zone 6.

Ep. 31 - Special Drain the Swamp Edition

Sarah and Will respond to a listener letter in Episode 37, giving their thoughts and some useful information on wood stoves. They cover the pros and cons of wood stoves in the home, ending up on the pro side, but being realistic about the maintenance and care necessary to have a stove. Other subjects about wood stoves covered: creosote and cleaning, cooking on the stove, and Philadelphia's own Benjamin Franklin, who invented the precursor to the wood stove.They resume the normal podcast proceedings by talking a little about the bees and Ross Round frames. Mayapple is back in the brooder coop and the rooster isn't pleased. The edible landscape has popped off and they are enjoying sorrel and other lettuces from the garden. They discuss asparagus shoots, rubarb harvests, and the new additions to the homestead: two fig trees to replace the devilish pyracantha/firethorn tree that they just cut down (see Episode 36).Sarah and Will finish the podcast with a discussion of an article on plant communication and the ethics of how humans interact with plants.Notes:ON WOOD STOVES:Condar - wood stove supplies http://www.condar.com/Chimney Safety Institute of America - Guides to getting a chimney sweep - http://www.csia.org/hiringchimneysweeps.htmlChimney Safety Institute of America - Chimney Fires guide - http://www.csia.org/chimneyfires.htmlEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) - Guide to wood stove emissions - https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/burn-wise-frequently-asked-questionsEnergy Department - guide to wood stove installation - https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/home-heating-systems/wood-and-pellet-heating US Fire Administration - safety guide for wood burning - https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/outreach/heating.htmlRutland Fire Clay Company, Rutland Products - great source for fireplace cleaning tools - https://www.rutland.com/Sam Whiteleather, Backwoodsman Magazine Jan/Feb 2018 issue, "Making the Most of Your Woodstove"Cam Mather, Mother Earth News October/November 2017 issue - Homestead Hacks, "Build the Perfect Woodstove Fire" ON OTHER ITEMS IN THE PODCAST:Blue Sky Bee Supply - Ross Rounds - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iawjr7Th3MEcologial Society of America - The story of the fig and its wasp - https://www.esa.org/esablog/research/the-story-of-the-fig-and-its-wasp/Velemir Ninkovic, PLOS ONE, "Aboveground mechanical stimuli affect belowground plant-plant communication" http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0195646Michael Pollan, the New Yorker December 2013 issue, "The Intelligent Plant", https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/12/23/the-intelligent-plantWendell Berry, "The Unsettling of America", 1997Aldo Leopold, "A Sand County Almanac," 1949Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology (ECNH), "The Dignity of Living Beings With Regard to Plants: Moral Consideration of Plants for Their Own Sake", http://www.ekah.admin.ch/fileadmin/ekah-dateien/dokumentation/publikationen/e-Broschure-Wurde-Pflanze-2008.pdfSatoyama Homestead 里山Gardening outside the lines.satoyamahs.org | satoyamahs@gmail.com | 484-247-GROW (4769)TAGS#podcast#satoyama homestead#homesteading#permaculture#beekeeping#honey bees#apiculture#fire#wood stove#apiculture#backyard chickens#chickens#chicks#broody#rooster#edible landscape#gardening#gardeners#spring#weather#homestead#plants#communication#asparagus#seedlings

They discuss asparagus shoots, rubarb harvests, and the new additions to the homestead: two fig trees to replace the devilish pyracantha/firethorn tree that they just cut down (see Episode 36).Sarah and Will finish the podcast with a discussion of an article on plant communication and the ethics of how humans interact with plants.Notes:ON WOOD STOVES:Condar - wood stove supplies <a href="http://www.condar.com/Chimney" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.condar.com/Chimney</a> Safety Institute of America - Guides to getting a chimney sweep - <a href="http://www.csia.org/hiringchimneysweeps.htmlChimney" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.csia.org/hiringchimneysweeps.htmlChimney</a> Safety Institute of America - Chimney Fires guide - <a href="http://www.csia.org/chimneyfires.htmlEnvironmental" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.csia.org/chimneyfires.htmlEnvironmental</a> Protection Agency (EPA) - Guide to wood stove emissions - <a href="https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/burn-wise-frequently-asked-questionsEnergy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/burn-wise-frequently-asked-questionsEnergy</a> Department - guide to wood stove installation - <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/home-heating-systems/wood-and-pellet-heating" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/home-heating-systems/wood-and-pellet-heating</a> US Fire Administration - safety guide for wood burning - <a href="https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/outreach/heating.htmlRutland" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/outreach/heating.htmlRutland</a> Fire Clay Company, Rutland Products - great source for fireplace cleaning tools - <a href="https://www.rutland.com/Sam" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.rutland.com/Sam</a> Whiteleather, Backwoodsman Magazine Jan/Feb 2018 issue, "Making the Most of Your Woodstove"Cam Mather, Mother Earth News October/November 2017 issue - Homestead Hacks, "Build the Perfect Woodstove Fire" ON OTHER ITEMS IN THE PODCAST:Blue Sky Bee Supply - Ross Rounds - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iawjr7Th3MEcologial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iawjr7Th3MEcologial</a> Society of America - The story of the fig and its wasp - <a href="https://www.esa.org/esablog/research/the-story-of-the-fig-and-its-wasp/Velemir" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.esa.org/esablog/research/the-story-of-the-fig-and-its-wasp/Velemir</a> Ninkovic, PLOS ONE, "Aboveground mechanical stimuli affect belowground plant-plant communication" <a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0195646Michael" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0195646Michael</a> Pollan, the New Yorker December 2013 issue, "The Intelligent Plant", <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/12/23/the-intelligent-plantWendell" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/12/23/the-intelligent-plantWendell</a> Berry, "The Unsettling of America", 1997Aldo Leopold, "A Sand County Almanac," 1949Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology (ECNH), "The Dignity of Living Beings With Regard to Plants: Moral Consideration of Plants for Their Own Sake", <a href="http://www.ekah.admin.ch/fileadmin/ekah-dateien/dokumentation/publikationen/e-Broschure-Wurde-Pflanze-2008.pdfSatoyama" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ekah.admin.ch/fileadmin/ekah-dateien/dokumentation/publikationen/e-Broschure-Wurde-Pflanze-2008.pdfSatoyama</a> Homestead 里山Gardening outside the <a href="http://lines.satoyamahs.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lines.satoyamahs.org</a> | satoyamahs@gmail.com | 484-247-GROW (4769)TAGS#podcast#satoyama homestead#homesteading#permaculture#beekeeping#honey bees#apiculture#fire#wood stove#apiculture#backyard chickens#chickens#chicks#broody#rooster#edible landscape#gardening#gardeners#spring#weather#homestead#plants#communication#asparagus#seedlings

Episode 26 of the Original Transplants Podcast finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will recovering from the installation of a testy package of honey bees.  Hear their tips for bee package installation, dealing with a defective queen cage and observing behavioral indicators for queenrightness.  After a brief visit to the chicken coop, the Satoyama stewards discuss seasonal chores in the edible landscape, including pruning, vegetable seed starting and transplanting, weeding and mulching.  This is a great time of year to remove invasives like garlic mustard - which, incidentally, makes a tasty pesto.  We close out this episode with an analysis of late-winter temperature variability and its impact on honey bee colonies, and a discussion of the unintended consequences (hint: radioactive wild boars) of nuclear power.

Summer has arrived and the homestead is filled with miracles and madness. Sarah and Will respond to a listener letter about scything and sheet composing/lasagna gardening, explaining the ins and outs of their turf management. They next discuss the apiary and their friend Walt who does moonlight beekeeping. A miracle queen was born. A simpler method of beekeeping, the keeping of mason/orchard/leafcutter bees is discussed as well. Next, Will tells a long-winded story about how tough he had it with Sarah away. Chicken madness, snakes living in the house, and sleeping outside to protect their miracle momma Mayapple and her chicks all figure heavily into the drama. Next, Sarah and Will discuss the upper respiratory disease the chickens experienced and how they managed to get the flock through the worst of it.The edible landscape really has started to pay dividends, with berries galore, as well as peas, greens, and other goods for consumption and preservation. On the homestead, Will breaks his bow, they discuss building new steps in the yard, and the happiness of sharing food with others. Finally, Sarah gives an update on the menacing Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive species now showing up en masse on the homestead.Notes:MENTIONED ITEMS IN THE PODCAST:"Let it Rot" by Stu Campbell, 1975Walt at Swarmbustin' Honey, https://www.911honey.com/"Mason bees in the home garden," Penn State Extension https://extension.psu.edu/mason-bees-in-the-home-garden"Black and Decker Complete Guide to Patios - 3rd Edition - A DIY Guide to Building Patios, Walkways, and Outdoor Steps", February 2010Spotted Lanternfly at Penn State Extension, https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternflySatoyama Homestead Gardening outside the lines.satoyamahs.org | satoyamahs@gmail.com | 484-247-GROW (4769)TAGS#podcast#satoyama homestead#scythe#compost#composting#bee hotel#gardening#gardeners#landscaping#mason bee#mason bees#orchard#berries#strawberry#blackberry#raspberry#spotted Lanternfly#homesteading#permaculture#beekeeping#honey bees#apiculture#fire#wood stove#apiculture#backyard chickens#chickens#chicks#broody#rooster#edible landscape#gardening#gardeners#spring#weather#homestead
