This week on Propaganda By the Seed Shorts Iâm talking about composting. It's a big topic so even though this is a bit longer than average for a short episode, it's really just an introduction to the topic. I'll cover how different types of composting work and then focus in on my favorite, the static pile.
In the Q&A we're talking berry rakes.

In this weekâs episode of Propaganda By the Seed Shorts, Iâm talking about garden hoses and how to keep them from being a pain in the butt. Basically you need to keep them in good repair with hose menders / rubber washers, and keep them where they should be with hose guides. I really like the combo of a brass ball valve and a Dramm 400PL Water Breaker for nearly all watering jobs. In the Q&A section Alex is asking about tips for new nursery producers.

In this episode I talk with perennial crops researcher and author Eric Toensmeier about trees with edible leaves. You might not think of tree leaves being suitable as human food, but many of them are quite tasty and their seasonality and nutritional content complement both annual and perennial vegetables. We cover several species, the maintenance techniques that support high productivity and some ideas on how best to cook them. For more information on Ericâs work you can checkout his website, perennialsolutions.org, or follow him on Instagram and/or Patreon. Want more info on trees with edible leaves? Eric wrote a whole book about it, which you can read or download for free at www.perennialagriculture.institute.

In this first episode of Propaganda By the Seed shorts I'll be telling you about grafting, a method of plant propagation that joins 2 individual plants (the scion and the rootstock) and lets them grow as one. These shorter episodes without a guest are an experiment, so please let me know if you like them or have topics you would like to hear covered. âShortâ episodes also have a Q&A segment, so send in those audio notes with questions if you got âem.
I talk about some tools and materials you may want, like a grafting knife, tape, sealer or the grafting starter kit.
You canât reasonably learn to graft from a podcast, so I recommend some local places where you could at least get a short lesson like the MOFGA Seed and Scion Exchange (Sunday, March 30, 12 - 4 p.m.) or the Mt. Joy Orchard Spring Planting festival (Saturday May 10th at Noon). If you canât find a local class or teacher, I recommend the Skillcult grafting series on youtube as a next step. Intro music is clipped out of Like Weeds by His Hero is Gone . Outro music is Capitalism(Is Tearing Us Apart) by Sole & DJ Pain 1

In this episode we chat with 3 time PBTS guest Eliza Greenman and her co-worker Kathleen Rhodes at The Savannah Institute about polyploid plant breeding. Polyploidy is a genetic condition where an organism has extra copies of it's genome in it's cells. Inducing polyploidy or breeding with existing polyploids can be a useful tool to gain traits such as larger fruit, larger leaves, seed sterility along with many other possibilities.
The Savannah Institute is a non-profit focusing on researching and implementing improvements in agroforestry in the midwest.
