Very good info. I, being an old man starting all over on a new property, having to play catch up. My dad being born in 1919, and mom born in 1924, I have a vast knowledge in gardening. My grandma was 107 when she past in 71, was a well of info. She planted wild flowers in the garden to keep bugs away. As a child I would cut down green weeds and brush in the fall (don’t remember which ones) then rake leaves to put in the compost, it would be layered green and then brown. Then all garden waste went into it, that was fertilizer. Spring planting was staggered so everything didn’t ripen at once, the the last planting was all at once,, that was the canning planting. I could go for hours, but you get the idea. Keep up the good work

Great! Thanks for watching and the notes. We've lost so much information in the last century.

Except hunter gatherer societies

@LowTechInstitute Год назад

Hunter-gatherer societies had a variety of social safety nets, but since groups were usually kin-based, it wasn't a big deal. Also, even if they were not living in one place, hunter-gatherers shaped the landscape around the, often encouraging the growth of plants they liked to eat and discouraging noxious ones. Thanks for watching!
