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.

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.

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 41: Bigfeet, January 5th 2019

Fresh on the heels of winter, Will and Sarah discuss the apiary, oxalic acid, and some honey/sugar replacement recipes. In the coop, Kentucky the black hen has a bad molt and requires some R&R, while the chickens shut down production for the winter, though they continue to eat a lot of treats. The edible landscape, while dormant, continues to produce through different preserves. Sarah talks about how one can read a seed catalogue, with all the metatextual analysis you need to make the right decision for your garden. They talk about the giant white oak tree in their yard and the processing wok on their chipper shredder, then quantify the amount of gasoline they’re using each year in these household activities. For fun, they talk about craft projects and a reader question in Backwoodsman Magazine that certainly paints an interesting picture of our national parks.

Autumn has arrived and the homestead has rushed to harvest before it all falls off the vine! Sarah and Will discuss treating bees during the fall, molting in the chicken coop, and some of the treats from the homestead this fall, including their first crop of persimmons. They talk about Will's trip to Delmarva to hunt for Sika deer/elk. Finally, they read an article about a spotted lanternfly scare in New Jersey and a courageous Beagle that prevented a pork head from being smuggled into the country.

Satoyama Homestead survived the rainiest July on record and uses the podcast to talk about it. The apiary benefitted from the rain, happening during the traditional flower nectar dearth, and Will discusses how pleased he is with the year's beekeeping efforts. Sarah and Will go over the difficulties in the chicken coop, including the bullying of the broody hen and the difficulties of a small coop. On the edible landscape, they discuss some of the issues with groundhogs and pervasive rain, but also the successes, like starting squashes late and the bounty of pesto. For homestead fun, Will discusses his archery treestand placement and how it takes years to get good at things. Sarah talks a little about the latest in the spotted lanternfly drama in the yard and then reads an interesting article about ladybug introductions for pest control, and all the ecological and economic problems associated with the little red polka dotted bug.
