Summary

Most people come to permaculture because of a desire to produce their own food and it is to be fair a huge part of the discipline. In fact people often say that permaculture is a system of “permanent agriculture”. This is understandable as even the founders have on occasion said such things or at least things you can interpret this way. The key though is to understand that when David Holmgren and Bill Mollison created this system, it didn’t exist. While obvious it is the kind of thing we tend to gloss over. When they began and wrote Permaculture One it did indeed focus almost exclusively … Continue reading →

0:00.0	Hi folks, Jack Spirco here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.
0:07.1	Commercial free versions of past episodes. Podcasts blasts from the pasts. I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations. These podcasts will appear in standard iTunes, Stitcher, and other feeds, but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.
0:24.5	Today we rewind a short four years back to February 23rd, 2021.
0:30.8	Originally episode 2828, seeing permaculture in a different light.
0:35.1	I would like to say this was one of my better solo episodes that I've ever done, specifically on the topic of permaculture. It is the kind
0:42.7	of show that I like to do for you. And the reason we're having a rewind again today is
0:46.9	twofold. One, my guest canceled on me, which is probably for the best. The other reason
0:53.6	is that I am still dealing with the flu. And I actually,
0:57.2	when my guest canceled, I reached out to Nicole Sauce about doing something and she was willing to,
1:02.8	and as I was trying to think of what to do, I realized that I'm just not going to give you a good
1:06.1	performance today. My voice is asked, and if I go for an hour even, so if it was me and Nicole for an
1:13.3	hour and a half, maybe I'm on 45 minutes of that. It's just going to be completely hammered by
1:18.4	the end of it, and it's just not going to be a good show. And I'd rather do a rewind than give
1:22.5	you a poor performance. So with that, really take this episode in, and with it only being about four years old, many of you probably will remember parts of it, but I think this is a very deep episode that shows how much bigger than just growing a cool garden permaculture can be. I also want to let you guys know about an upcoming webinar that I will be in
1:45.9	great shape for because I've still got another week out yet. It's on me on the 13th of March.
1:49.9	And it is a collaboration with the Price Pottinger Foundation, which I am deeply honored
1:54.9	that they reached out and asked me to do this. We're going to be talking about Biochar. In fact,
1:59.2	they have titled the webinar, Biochar 101 Secrets for Thriving Gardens and Farms. It will be at 1 p.m. Pacific
2:07.2	time, which is what 3 p.m. Central time on the 13th. That's a Thursday next week. Thursday,
2:14.6	March 13th, 2025.
2:22.2	Nora Gradagas is going to be my co-host for that.
2:25.5	She'll be, I'll be presenting for about 40 minutes.
