  • Garden Chat: Building a Gardening and Homesteading Advice
    Aug 7 2024
    In this 225th Episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, I recorded a video and audio while I was IN the garden, so this is truly a garden chat with your lovable host Tom. In this episode, I discuss the garden build project including the fencing, the border, mulch, gates, Wicking Bed Planters and Hybrid Rain Gutter Grow System Planters. I talk about cabbage worms eating my broccoli, how my peppers really stink this year and how my tomatoes, zucchini and basil are stars of the garden. Towards the very end of the episode, I talk about Driftless Oaks Farm and provide some advice about where to buy land or a homestead based on our own experience at Driftless Oaks Farm. While it didn’t work out as expected for us, it might be different for you. I would highly recommend that you think long and hard and look long and closely at any property before purchasing it. We got caught up in the idea and excitement, and fortunately the gods smiled upon us. While we podcasting types typically obsess about audio quality, there is something neat about this recording. It is imperfect: there are chickadees chirping, the green heron squawking, planes flying, traffic driving by, Julie talking to a friend, kids chattering as they walk down the street in front of our house and a passing train heading from the Twin Cities to Stevens Point, Wisconsin. This is life in a small town in America in 2024. This is how it should be. We are part of this community, and these things are just part of our life here now. We can be perfectly imperfect because that is what we are. And that, my friends, is a GOOD thing.
