Acerca de Obsessed with Plants Podcast

Welcome to the Obsessed with Plants podcast with David Starbird and Kristofer Edler.  This deep-dive podcast will cover some of the nerdy topics that need a little more attention in the permaculture community.  Both David and Kris have extensive backgrounds in regenerative agriculture with years of growing experience.  In this introductory prelude to the podcast, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know your hosts a bit and learn about their passion and experience.And along for the journey are our friends, a diverse group of plant, animal, and ecosystem enthusiasts; we all share a passion for education and learning. However, with a group that loves to ramble for hours... and hours, it's hard to condense their info into a short video. So that's where this podcast comes in! The goal of the podcast is to provide useful information that we normally summarize into very brief snippets.And to give an outlet to ramble on about our love for plants. Each episode will be themed and cover a range of topics. We hope you love our rambling about plants, and we hope to see you in the garden!!

Ep. 10: How to Get Rid of Weeds in a Food Forest

Weeds, which are often referred to as the right plants in the wrong places, can be a nuisance for some food foresters and gardeners.  In this episode, we'll share ways to control weeds in a food forest or agroforestry system.  Before we jump in, we'll talk a bit about why they are there in the first place. Understanding the concept behind their presence in the landscape will help us navigate them in our own garden spaces.   This episode covers weeding strategies like hand-pulling tips, smother crops, edible weeds, adding beneficial understory plants, utilizing chickens and livestock, burning, and more.  Weeds and other understory can be utilized in a way that provides for pollinators, cover the soil, and build organic matter.  However, as land stewards, it's our job to orchestrate their presence and work with the natural processes.  So, instead of working against what nature is doing - let's learn to help nature accomplish its goal of covering the soil and building organic matter.   Link to the food forest designer website!  https://permaculturefx.com/how-to-plant-a-food-forest-part-4-installing/

Episode 9: Pro-Tips for Hiring a Food Forest Designer or Installer

Should you hire a permaculture designer or simply do it yourself?  Both are viable options, but it's important to understand the journey a bit before getting started. This podcast episode explores the benefits and drawbacks of Homesteading DIY vs Hiring.   If you want to do it yourself, we have some really practical strategies on how to streamline the process for your homestead.  Not to mention...a few pro-tips! If you are interested in hiring a designer (or installer), we also offer some practical tips, tricks, questions, and considerations to weigh before hiring someone.  In this episode, we'll cover practical questions to ask your designer, how to spot designers that are not going to be a good fit, common pricing concerns, and how to explore mentorship after your food forest is planted.    Whether you are just getting started with a homestead design or you already have a food forest and need to be mentored on how to maximize production - this permaculture podcast episode will give you some gold-nugget tips.  And a few interesting bunny trails (i.e. a rant on growing apples in Florida).

Episode 8: Do you need to mulch with woodchips forever?

One of the most effective initial ways to cover, build, and protect your soil is to blanket new garden areas with a deep layer of wood chip mulch.  As they decompose, the mulch builds organic matter and increases the soil biology, resulting in healthier plants and more abundant fruit. Although there are many benefits for a land steward when we choose to continue the wood chipping process, it's not a blanket scenario that needs to happen indefinitely. So, if you are wondering how long you need to keep mulching the food forest or garden... the answers here might surprise you.   This episode covers practical ways you can wean off wood chips and find other creative ways to keep your soil covered and microbiology protected.

Episode 7: How to Help a Food Forest Recover

How do you help your garden or food forest after a natural disaster? Regardless of where you live, increasing weather extremes can have a massive impact on the food forest and home garden.  If you are in the cooler climates, the harder (and dry) winter months can wreak havoc on your fruit trees.  In the coastal regions, hurricanes can leave us in panic mode before or after the storm hits.  And nation-wide, hail, drought, or tornado threats can cause unnecessary stress.  This podcast gives practical and strategic ways to help your food forest and garden recover when you experience any of these external stressors.  We'll talk about how to strengthen the root systems naturally, the best ways to cover the soil, how and when to prune a fruit tree.  We will specifically talk about how to help plants recover from a deep freeze, and give several more practical tips to boost your food forest and improve the recovery process. Get ready for a great episode of our permaculture, planty podcast. Link to the food forest designer website!  https://permaculturefx.com/how-to-plant-a-food-forest-part-4-installing/

Episode 6: The ABC's of Soil Amending

A successful food forest starts with rich and living soil.  If you want to experience high yields of fruit and vegetables from your food forest, the soil life is the key to abundance.  As with all things, there are many ways to approach soil building, amending, and fertilization within a regenerative system.  Some methods require human interaction, while others invite animals within the system.  Some methods are free, while others will cost money for the whole ingredients.   This episode covers the gold standards of fertilizing fruit trees and food forests, how to engage in best practices for chop-and-drop, composting methods, and dives into whole ingredient soil amending.  So, if you are wondering how to organically fertilize a food forest - this episode is worth saving and bookmarking for future reference.
