Episode 67 - Homestead Kitchen Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

The homestead kitchen is far more than somewhere to store and prepare meals. Drying, fermenting and cheese making can all be happening at any given moment in my kitchen, with apple cider vinegar fermenting on the worktop, curds hanging from cupboard door handles and sourdough starter bubbling away on top of the fridge all at once!

Episode 66 - stacking functions Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

One of the main ideas in a permaculture system is that of stacking functions. Finding the multiple uses for different elements within our gardens, be they plants, animals or objects, can give us new ways for them to interact with each other and produce new yields in ways we might otherwise have missed.
