Our first show on growing food since the extremely popular episode 667 "Community Successes" back in 2013. We begin with the densest material on the show, a reading of Ivan Illich's single page "Declaration on Soil" from 1990. Next we hear an interview with Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running - How Mushrooms can save the world. After explaining how he got into mushrooms, he explains some of his discoveries about their remarkable ability, and he suggests, their remarkable intelligence - and their expertise at repairing damaged land and in building soil. After a short music break, we hear Sandor Katz speaking in 2012 on The Art of Fermentation. Sadly, the recording quality is very low and even after improvement, it remains variable. I wouldn't normally consider such a poor recording, but the talk is so interesting and practical that I decided to include it. We conclude the show with Dave Hamilton, a promoter of the self-sufficientish living - who gives down to earth advice on how to start producing food.
