    About this Episode

    This may be one of the funniest, and perhaps edging into the raunchiest episode ever to appear on this podcast… Heather Holthaus Battles and Ande the Elf jump right into an open and fearless discussion of topics from modern parenting, relationships, and sex toys! Hahaha!  Classic topics of  Maintaining Ground Podcast arise such as pre-internet nostalgic moments, herbalism and homesteading.  After not having a real life conversation in nearly 20 years, these two are absolutely hilarious in this episode. So prepare yourself for some good laughs and a good time.  This episode pairs well with bourbon, a sweet white wine, or a strawberry smoothie. With hints of sherbet, marmalades, blackberries and artichoke dip,  this episode also could enhance your morning jog, a crafting session, or paint scraping job. Enjoy!!!

    The process and dance with nature ever unfolding through seasons of interactive human animal instinctual rhythm has brought me much joy…. The interplay of vectors observed and the forensic botanical stories unveiled before my eyes as seeds are tossed and lops of the chop and drops from the accumulation of bioactive nutrient under my feet are things I find really neat.  My autonomy in the interdependent weave with the ecosystem that I once stewarded encounters the feeling of awe as I realize again and again, the earth stewards me.

    This Episode we go to the island of Kauai and to the heart of a contemporary 12 year old Forest Garden...
    get involved!

    After the edit elves get us in the easy breezy mood, we settle right into a heart felt conversation with Rob Cruz and Ande the Elf.
