The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 43: Garden Math, 3/31/19

Neither of the stewards at Satoyama Homestead are all that math-inclined. Sarah and Will do their best anyway in this 43rd edition of the podcast. Subjects discussed: is that a prime number?; spring honey bee business; chicken crop problems; dealing with a violent rooster; edible food arriving in spring; "garden math" or why you should stop worrying and start calculating your garden; orchard prep; spring cleanup; the Woods in My Backyard series put out by Penn State Extension; and the fox that walked into the wrong chicken coop.
