Harvesting The Cold- An Ice House

The Regenerative Homestead Newsletter

October 21st, 2023 Issue

The Necessity Of Humus I had someone years ago that came to my farm, for one of my seminars. After I was done speaking he came to me and asked if I would be willing to help him start a garden on his property. I told him I would be happy too. He went on to explain though that there was one big problem, he lived on the shore of Lake Michigan and all his pr…

Some House Keeping If you are seeing the message, in the photo just below this paragraph, at the end of your email just ignore it.

The Broadfork or Ubar

The Regenerative Homestead Newsletter

Remineralizing The Soil In the last issue, I shared with you how I prepare my garden beds, by double digging. We talked about how important it is to open up that air flow into the soil, so the soil life can breathe. But in former newsletters, I explained to you that the only way that your “soil livestock,” was going to stick around and thrive, was if the…
