2021 Holiday Special with Ken Zen

https://grantmaundrell.com.au/

In this episode, we welcome back Grant Maundrell, a qualified Landscape Architect, Horticulturalist, and Permacultural Designer, with over 15 years of experience in garden design. I met Grant in Jordan at the "Greening the Desert" site, and he has been a friend, mentor, and a great source of knowledge since then. 

In this eye-opening episode, we venture into the world of weeds, debunking the common perception that they are simply pesky invaders. Join us as we explore the hidden ecological functions of these misunderstood plants and unveil the vital role they play in our ecosystems.

Contrary to popular belief, weeds are not just unwanted nuisances but hold the key to a delicate balance in nature.

Join us as we shed light on the importance of embracing and understanding weeds, and how a deeper appreciation for these green warriors can lead us towards more sustainable and eco-friendly practices. It's time to rethink our perspective on these resilient plants and appreciate their hidden superpowers that contribute to a healthier and harmonious natural world. Get ready to see weeds in a whole new light on this exciting episode of DDON.LIFE!

On tonight's episode of Ddon.Life we are joined by Ricky Heidvogel of Food Forest Abundance, Wisconsin. Ricky and his brother Will, along with their friend Adam, have been going on a food forest installation RAMPAGE, not only in Wisconsin, but now California. Ricky and team prove that permaculture food forests can be shared anywhere, with the average homeowner, for a reasonable price.

Charles is a certified permaculture designer and edible landscape installer. He is the founder of Food Forest Virginia. In this episode, we recap his recent month-long trip to northern Thailand, where he consulted the design and construction of a 50+ acre permaculture site. The term "Freedom Farm Academy" comes from Food Forest Abundance, of which Charles and I are both members. Freedom farm academies are designed as educational, demonstration sites aimed at teaching people how to grow food. Special thanks to Charles for joining us today.
