I love that he’s talking about pre-colonial “permaculture.” We need more conversations like this. Great episode Morag!

Your guest talks about hybrid seeds my question is do you or him consider open pollinated "hybrids" bad or was he talking more along the lines of GMO,s??? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience love the videos! From Maine in the United States

The traditional open pollinated seeds that they used were replaced in the green revolution with hybrids from the companies (pre-GMOs) that required great levels of irrigation and chemical fertiliser to maintain - a focus too on cash-cropping. This sweeping change, supported by the government and enforced by the military, completely changed the farming landscape and saw a rapid decline in the availability of the seeds that were so suited to feeding families, and growing in the soils and climates without the huge inputs. Of course they would have been improving them over generations, but that's different - you can save seeds from these. The commercial hybrids you have to buy each year.

I have a question I did the newspaper and straw garden this year But what do I do in the fall And then again in the spring Dig it in or layer more on? Tks

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 5 жыл бұрын

I simply layer more on. If the garden is not weedy, I just add more compost and mulch.
