Ep 56: Take the (ethical) shot!

Original Transplants Podcast episode 56 Take the (Ethical) Shot! begins with questions from new Pennsylvanians [at]theroadstead via Instagram about PA homesteading and composting, and from a new homestead friend via email to satoyamahs[at]gmail[dot]com about rain barrels. Shout out to Camels Hump Rain Barrels in Phoenixville, PA! Will recounts his archery season opening day experience, and Will and Sarah share perspectives on how to prepare to be a successful ethical hunter. We then return to our normal podcast programming, with a visit to the late season beeyard, where Will is combining hives and delivering a final formic acid varroa treatment, and to the chicken coop, where Sarah is providing supportive therapy for molting chickens. The edible landscape enters its third growing season with a light frost days before the fall equinox, and Sarah is still pulling in kiwiberries, leafy greens, soup beans, and tomatoes and peppers from the dedicated chiles rellenos garden. Satoyama stewards prepare for winter by polishing the woodstove and chipping this season's weeds, including stilt grass, to make room for fall leaf drop. Will shares news from Entomology Today about ticks' sixth sense.
