I’m starting to schedule interviews and I’ve got a bunch of plants I’m interested in cover where I don’t have a guest in mind.

What plant would you like to see highlighted on a future episode of Propaganda By the Seed? Bonus points if you recommend a person to interview on that topic.

Today I’m talking about composting. It's a big topic so even though this is a bit longer than average for a short episode, it's really just an intro to the topic. I'll cover how different types of composting work and then focus in on my favorite, the static pile. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

Not sure why you would want to, but you can now listen to propaganda by the seed on YouTube. I really dislike doing video production, so I basically don’t do it. There are some handy seed cleaning tutorials on there too that @youngsole put together. m.youtube.com/@infiniteohms

I meant to include this with the grafting episode of Propaganda By the Seed… This shows a tool for splitting rootstocks for cleft grafting. A scrap of thin wood with a 3/8” hole drilled in it. It lets you to cut towards the hand holding the rootstock without risking cutting your hand if you slip.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Definitely going to do more collaborations with them. I dilute urine for fertilizer 5-10 X. Ideally I would apply to soil around plants on a rainy day and dilute 5x, if I’m doing on a sunny day and not water, I might dilute more like 10x. I use it during the growing season.

You can find the zine for free here: www.tangledwilderness.org/features/edi...
