The Revolutionary's Garden – Details, episodes & analysis

We're alive!

We will have more episodes coming to the feed soon, but in the meantime enjoy this yogurt mini epsiode!

While we have previously released an epsiode on dairy preservation, in which we talk about yogurt making. But since then we have made quite alot of yogurt, and felt a small update to the yogurt making process would be helpful. 

Welcome to the sequel to our garden 101 basics series! in this follow up guide, we will cover some of the slightly more involved garden tools, like building of hedges, using livestock in the garden, or employing alternative planting methods. 

In this first of our Garden 102 series, we will cover some of the more common alterntive planting styles, instead of just plantinf directly into the soil. We cover lots of styles both ancient and modern, fom terracing and mound gardens, to raised beds, hugelkulture, and Ruth Stout muclh gardening. We talk about the basics of each method, as well as go over some of their pros and cons! 

Thank you for tuning into this January farm update! While winter is a sleepy time on the farm, we still have to deal with horny goats, crazy storms ripping roofs away, and more! We also update you on the some of the upcoming interview episodes, a bonus series, and much much more.

Welcome to the final installment (For now) of our Garden 101 series!

In this episode, we cover the proper setup for a good garden and harvest storage system, from harvesting tools, to the wash station, to the kitchen. We cover the general methods of harvest for major vegetable types, and how to get them into storage or your kitchen quickly, cleanly, and efficiently. After all, all of this garden advice does little good if you don't actually get to eat or share what you grow.

This is a reupload of our intial episode on Cranberries. something happened in the upload that seriously degraded the audio quality, well below our modest standars. so this is a rerecorded and reuploaded epiosde, with much better audio.

In this episode we discuss the history, selection, and growing of the most underappreciated berry in north America. First clarifying the muddy definition of cranberry, then following its history from the indigenous nations of north America, through colonization, up to today. We cover how to grow cranberries, both in your home garden, as well as a guerilla gardening plant. and finally we wrap up with the many easy ways to prepare and preserve this incredible little berry.

Today we would like to recommend The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen, by Sean Sherman https://sioux-chef.com/

To celebrate the solstice, We'll be releasing this Patron only special bonus episode, The Apple Tree Man. While tangentially Garden related, this is an old folk tale from Britain, that is dear to my heart, and a perfect tale for the season.

Enjoy, and happy solstice!

Wile we most thoroughly cover general bio security to prevent diseases, we also cover how to manage a disease outbreak once it occurs.

As always our show is produced on occupied Abanaki land, specifically the land of the Kennebeck nation. We pay a portion of our show proceeds to the Wabanaki alliance in the form of rent. Remember, land acknowledgements are a good first step, and rents are better, but nothing is a substitute for land back and indigenous sovereignty. 

Today we would like to recommend the afro-indigenous farmer Chris Newman and his cooperative farm network Sylvanaqua farms. On top of a lot of great articles trashing colonizer farming, Joel Salatin, and more, Chris Newman shows all of the great work being done by his cooperative farm network and mutual aid projects. While you learn a lot just by following him on social media, if you subscribe to his patreon you get hands on round tables discussing cooperative farm practices and more.
