72: Episode 72 – July’s garden job checklist

July 24, 2020July 24, 2020 Carl Mintern Leave a comment

As summer deepens it’s easy to be distracted by the rewards of harvesting, but there’s plenty of other things that need our attention to make certain we can reap those rewards long into the autumn and winter.

67: Episode 67 – Homestead Kitchen

July 13, 2020July 13, 2020 Carl Mintern Leave a comment

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!

66: Episode 66 – stacking functions

July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 Carl Mintern Leave a comment

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.

July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 Carl Mintern Leave a comment

Half the year is behind us but it’s certainly not too late to start growing food! Today is a run down of what you can still sow from seed even in July for a crop this year.
