In these videos, you will learn how to establish your own food forest, while increasing soil fertility.

I’ve watched each one of these DVD’s about a dozen times now…and will probably watch them a dozen times more.  So much info to glean and put into action.

This is the kind of info, that can feed and house us, as a people, and at the same time…help heal the planet.

Have fun, creating your own food forest!!

Got Seeds?

GOT SEEDS??

For me, seeds are the most valuable thing…a person can have. It’s LIFE!!! They are a sacred possession..and treated sacredly.

In my opinion, it’s also…MONEY IN THE BANK..as well as food in my tummy.

I collect large amounts of seeds, in many different varieties.

In this video I just wanted to share my growing seed bank with you, and show you how I keep them safe…and extend their lives.

These are just a few companies…that I use. I’m sticking to the heirloom, organic and wild strains, that still have their genetic STRENGTH!!!

Have fun seeking out seeds that speak to you…there’s so many reasons to do this….but SEEK THEM OUT, and start stock piling. I think you’ll be happy you did.

“Seeds are like life-bombs…asymmetrical
bursts of birth/thriving/recession/and death.”
