Description

In this episode, we highlight the fundamentals of compost. What's actually going on in your compost pile, and how does that influence the decisions you make to keep your compost pile healthy? Why does compost sometimes seem to be beneficial and sometimes it doesn't, and what do all of the microbes in the soil have to do with it?

Climate Change got you down? Worried about the fact that *everything* seems to be getting worse? Wondering how we got to this point in the first place, and what can we do to build a more resilient future? We take a look at historical pastoral & agricultural societies to see what worked and what didn’t, as well as what resources we have today to make better decisions to build equitable systems. We don’t just discuss ecology and history but also take a leftist perspective on prepping, foraging, homesteading, weapons, community-building, and basically anything that needs discussing during late-stage capitalism.
