Join Rob as he talks asparagus and soil building - using a recipe shared by Nick Ferguson as heard years ago in an expert council show from The Survival Podcast.  All links in show notes!  

Nick uses this technique when building new beds and for the next two consecutive years.

Nick Ferguson’s Soil Recipe

Layer in this order: ½” of compost or manure.  Preferably rabbit or goat manure.  If you don’t have any it’s okay.  This is just a bonus.

1. ¼” of any ground seed mill or ½” of rabbit pellets or layer pellets.  You should be able to get these at your local feed store.  This is worm food.
2. ⅛” bone meal
3. ⅛” dried molasses or 1 gallon liquid molasses per 100 to 200 square feet.  This is bacteria food.
4. Dusting of garden lime.
5. Dusting of phosphate.
6. Earth worms not red wigglers.
7. A sprinkling of local leaf mold.  This is the matter underneath the leaves in a wooded area.  Take carefully from several locations and then recover the earth with the leaves.  This will inoculate your soil with local bacteria.
8. Water it well.
9. Cover with 4” of wood chips or chopped leaves, 12” of whole leaves or 8” of straw.

Today, Rob talks briefly about black walnut trees inhibiting plant growth before discussing an article by Doreen G. Howard on Flower Garden Designs - where we discuss three seasons of color, garden ground rules, a three-season plant list, and tips for success for every season! 

The season comes when, from her three-month's trance,
 The Earth awakens: already her deep heart
 Begins to stir, and send its life abroad.
 –Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–72)

The little white clouds are racing over the sky,   
And the fields are strewn with the gold of the flower of March,   
The daffodil breaks under foot, and the tasseled larch 
Sways and swings as the thrush goes hurrying by. 

–Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

After a conversation this morning with our tenant farmer, Cody - Rob reflects on how the "home" is becoming a functional and operational homestead. 

Gratitude plays a role in understanding and appreciating the dream that is starting to materialize after more than a decade of executing a plan to exit and build with family.   

This led Rob to further reflect and understand what his calling might actually be...something that has become a bit more clear with setting goals, working with community and creating content...all things that YOU can do to document your journey and refine your personal vision. 

The consistency in the process and the documentation leads to these moments of clarity - and often times these little moments of clarity are exactly what we need to get through the daily grind.   

Rob also discusses Solar Cycle 25 Forecasts and Updates - along with observations of prior Solar Cycles and how they correspond with larger scale world events.  

For example, the stock market and housing crash of 2008 occurred at the end of Solar Cycle 23 leading into Solar Cycle 24 and the events regarding SARS-CoV-2 occurred at the end of Solar Cycle 24 leading into Solar Cycle 25.  

• What is in store for Solar Cycle 25?

Let us know what YOU think we can expect during this next 11 year Solar Cycle!
