Hello 👋 again Olivia, this fella is in the same book, chapter, and page of the book we’re working from. We could actually live more comfortably if I didn’t grow the farm. However, we love the taste of homegrown food that we cook ourselves. Comfortable living is a relative term. I don’t trust the food industry to keep me fed when TSHF. We’ve had a terrible taste left in our mouths around four years ago. I’m late in life for this venture, but it’s still worth setting the playing field for either my kids, grandkids, or even great grandkids. Yes, I’m that old, and very fortunate to have made it this far in life. The land speaks volumes if you have the ability to take the time to listen and observe it. I don’t do what I do as a monetary effort, I do what I do because I love growing and eating things as natural as possible. Please be safe in your journey and enjoy every moment of it. Believe me, it goes by really fast and before you know it, it’s a struggle just to repair a fence. Blessings to you and your family, Bill and Cate, 40 Shades of Green Farm, Jackson Tennessee
Lovely video. I use many mushrooms for medicinal and food uses and have taken a crack at cultivating some with mixed results. It will be interesting to see if I can recreate some of these methods in a much different zone.
I started growing mushrooms just to make soil. I have some land with only an inch or two of topsoil on a bedrock hillside. Plenty of scrub pines that have gotten too big and outgrown the little soil available. So now i am using the spent fruiting blocks that i grew indoor to innoculate piles of cut up trees and fallen deadwood. There are natural crevases and big indentations in the bedrock hiil, so im filling them in like giant planters and pots. Lol

That is pretty cool! Steve was such an inspiration and literally wrote the book on mushrooms and silvopasture! So much to learn from!
