Won't You Be My Neighbor?

I’m gonna just gonna hit record ok

OK ~ I’ll deliver!

Here’s a listener and awesome teacher! Matt Zoeller to share his garden journey and talking about edible weeds who was on my show back in February 2018 in episode 250.

Listen here to my interview with Matt about Edible Weeds

It’s a privilege to be back here, it’s now the second time I have done a podcast like this the first one was with you jackie like 2 years ago.

so many people have listened to your episode before, I think you are even in my organic oasis guidebook where It all about growing chickens in the suburbs, I spent so much time reading it last year and then I haven’t seen it for a year and then I was on someones podcast the other day

how nutritious they are usually people switch off the station not download it so, this is a cool place to be on the fringe organic gardener podcast which you’ve had some pretty bad-a**ed published guests lately.

I think you are just being humble. I know you dropped lots of great golden seeds. But since I did have Melissa Norris and Jeff Ditchfield my numbers have practically double and so there are a lot of new listeners who haven’t heard

I came up with an acronym…. My name is Matt Zoeller, I teach high school, I have a masters in education but all things health and plants, maybe wearing the color green I do wear a lot of green is something I love but it is not academic, I just have an organic interested, I am always reading and listening!

I live right in Denver, in a suburb, in a neighborhood, IDK how big my house is but it’s not big either

we have a good solid amount of garden space

chickens

salvaging wood

raccoon issue

we got 3 more hens

actually 7 chicks

that are 4 weeks old that’s really exciting

the thing I am kind of becoming famous for

love of eating weeds

my analogy

if you were to move into a house

spring rolls around and suddenly

there’s kale everywhere would you walk out and say we didn’t plant this kale we have to dig them all u

hire some ruminant

you would probably eat it because its kale an its health

most of the main ones we hate the most and probably Canadians

a lot are edible and nutrition

we went there

nutrients panicking

what advice would I have for people if the supply runs out

can’t count on my neighbor

you’re like the perfect guy for this

I came up with an acronym

take it or leave it

Compost

Oeuf (french for egg a plug for chickens)

Vegetable

Immune System

Dehydrate

In the spirit of survival

if I had a blog or we making a book

squeezed it into COVID

Chickens or compost -

I think that is annoying

make a big pile

talking kitchen stuff

do something with it

here’s some ideas

burry it

dig a trench slowly

so practical

your mom does it

whenever this comes up

oh my grandma used to do that

IDK what happened to make altho stop

really good for the soil

I have always

most people have a wrong sense of

don’t throw away biodegradable

the way we compost here

with our food scraps is feed to the chickens

I’l say

that’s it letter

let’s move onto the

Oeuf

so a little

you're listeners

no curses here (12:18

make a little plug for chickens

they’re so low maintenance

got chickens for 2 year

more stuff
