The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 42: Science Fiction, 2/24/19

Science fiction becomes reality on this podcast, as Sarah and Will provide speculative ideas on the worst invasive species that could possibly come to their homestead. They discuss some literature that would inform the discussion, including a new variety of agriculture in hemp production, as well as how they'll tackle some invasive species in their own backyard. Next up the regularly scheduled work at the homestead. Bees and chickens are in a holding pattern while the edible landscape is about ready to pop. They talk about how you should be careful of what you plant and how this spring, and Sarah also discusses Liquid Copper Sulfate as a fungicide to help your fruit trees.
