There's a better way to do this, let me show you a better way.

And we are live and welcome to episode 3278 of the Survival Podcast.

I think this will be a fun episode if you are listening in audio.

The good news is there's not a whole lot of stream time stuff added into today's episode

where you'll need to look up a video to know what the heck Jack was talking about.

So this will be a good one audio or video.

And I'm not going to dig into at least deeply how to grow a zola or how to make biochar.

I've done previous episodes on that.

I will probably do an episode specifically dedicated to growing, harvesting, propagating, etc. is all in the future.

As I dig deeper into that subject in expansion of my personal experience, which is about five years of playing with that plant now.

But it is because I played with the plant for the last five years that I'm doing today's episode.

Because this is a plant and I recently had someone on that's discovered it and is working on a project with it.

That a lot of people are discovering right now.

And people are discovering in the prepper space, they're discovering it in the scientific space, the ag space,

the regenerative agriculture space, home stethers, permaculture, you name it.

And there's a lot of things thrown around about a zola that aren't exactly wrong but they're not exactly right.

Here would be one example and this is the same thing is thrown around about another aquatic plant called duckweed.

And that is it doubles its size every 48 hours.

You need to add a word to that sentence.

In fact, it's better that you add a few words to that sentence.

And it would be under optimum conditions, it is possible for this plant to double its mass every 48 hours.

And then you can add to that and you probably won't have absolute perfect optimum conditions at any time.
