The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 41: Bigfeet, January 5th 2019 Fresh on the heels of winter, Will and Sarah discuss the apiary, oxalic acid, and some honey/sugar replacement recipes. In the coop, Kentucky the black hen has a bad molt and requires some R&R, while the chickens shut down production for the winter, though they continue to eat a lot of treats. The edible landscape, while dormant, continues to produce through different preserves. Sarah talks about how one can read a seed catalogue, with all the metatextual analysis you need to make the right decision for your garden. They talk about the giant white oak tree in their yard and the processing wok on their chipper shredder, then quantify the amount of gasoline they’re using each year in these household activities. For fun, they talk about craft projects and a reader question in Backwoodsman Magazine that certainly paints an interesting picture of our national parks.
