I swear sometimes I’m just a debunker of Homestead BS™. I despise the controversy that arises from it but if my purpose in sharing anything is to help folks make informed decisions about their choices when raising their own food we’ve got to cut through the nonsense. I’ve been known to get spicy from time to time on issues such as the abuse of essential oils, the fallacy of Dexter’s as a perfect family cow, militant ancient diets, or whether it’s a dumb idea to mimic perennial systems in an annual one. (I fail to see how it’s wise to bring nitrogen-binding, fungal-dominant ramial wood chips from the perennial woods into a bacterial-dominant annual crop garden and pretend it’s the way “God intended” crops to be grown. If He did, wouldn’t you find cabbage growing in the forest?)
