SEp 067: Having a Healthy Relationship with your Skin & the Sun

Welcome to the Sow Edible Farm Podcast.  Join our family as we build our permaculture sustainable farm and off grid homestead.   With nature as our example, we are shaping the farm with edible food forests, perennials, hugelkulture beds, swales, and keyline water systems.  We share our experience in beekeeping and animal husbandry where we pasture raise ducks, chickens, and pigs through the use of rotational grazing and all natural care.  As first time farmers, we are learning how to work the land without pesticides, using heirloom plants, and beyond organic gardening techniques.  We hope that you will join our family as we embark on this adventure together.

In this episode we share how to set up a simple irrigation system run off of timers as well as an update on all the happenings around the farm.  It is also listener question time, where we answer questions on soil building, mulch, caring and planting in food forests and orchards, and much more!
