Propagating Wine Caps on Waste Products

theresistancegardencom December 28, 2020 December 28, 2020Uncategorized 0

I’ve posted a few ways recently we’re propagating edible mushrooms at our sites for increasing production next year, and there’s another that’s very worth mentioning: turning cardboard and newspaper into mushroom spawn. Specifically, we’re growing mycelium of wine cap mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoanullata) in these, but I expect some other types…

Inoculating with Wild Oyster Mushrooms: an experiment in the biomass berms

theresistancegardencom December 13, 2020 December 13, 2020Uncategorized 0

Earlier today I went and harvested some oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) from a big dead maple we keep walking and driving past. I grabbed a small chunk of them last week, and since they were getting a bit dried out I didn’t go back. But then with a soaking rain…

Designing the Food Forest: biomass berms and forest biome interplanting

theresistancegardencom December 10, 2020 December 10, 2020Uncategorized 0

This week at the mini farm we’re applying some design principles to more actively start cultivating an area of the forest for food production. We mentioned earlier in the year doing some selective cutting and debris cleanup in order to encourage some patches of berry bushes and small hazelnut trees…

We’re cultivating mushrooms using coffee

theresistancegardencom November 25, 2020 November 25, 2020Uncategorized 0

Here’s some blue oyster mushroom mycellium growing in coffee grinds in a sterilized mason jar. We’re doing this with small batches of grinds to later innoculate garden bed mulch and hay bales, the later of which we’re also conditioning over winter to use as potato beds in the spring. Using…

Surprise! Eggs outside of the run

theresistancegardencom October 14, 2020 October 14, 2020Uncategorized 0

Ostara came late for us, I guess? Real life egg hunt after finding a pile of 13 eggs near a stump I was checking for mushrooms. I guess we figured out why a few of the hens try so hard to get out of their run. Found another half dozen…

Acorns: a forgotten staple

theresistancegardencom October 11, 2020 October 18, 2020Uncategorized bushcraft, cooking, food, foraging, gardening, permaculture 0

Leftists will often stress that the existence of hunger and starvation isn’t a simple matter of resources not being available, but rather of uneven and unjust distribution. More than enough food is grown for everyone in the world, and that’s typically only counting the output of mass, conventional agriculture. The…

Raising chickens: it’s easier than you think, and probably cheaper, too.

theresistancegardencom September 16, 2020 December 18, 2020Uncategorized 0

No small “self sufficient” farm is complete without backyard poultry and they’re a part of the archetypical homesteading image for a reason: chickens are easy to keep, provide a source of protein and fat that gardens typically don’t, and allow a quicker conversion of food scraps into usable soil. The…

Autumnal foraging: autumn olives aka autumn berries

theresistancegardencom September 13, 2020 October 11, 2020Uncategorized 1

Autumn olive (Eleagnus umbellata) is one of our favorite things to forage and also one that we get the most of. This small tree isn’t native to North America, but it’s spread to a lot of the continent. Due to its fast growing and nitrogen fixing qualities, it’s been used…

theresistancegardencom January 12, 2020 January 12, 2020Uncategorized cooking, food, gardening 0

Canning is one of those archetypical homesteading skills that finds itself in the mental picture we all have of the lifestyle. And this isn’t without reason; preserving food in glass jars by way of canning is an extremely useful way to make sure your valuable harvest doesn’t go to waste….

Prepping for Change: disaster preparedness as a toolkit for Liberation and Justice

theresistancegardencom December 28, 2019 December 28, 2019Uncategorized 0

I grew up in what people would now call a “prepping” house. That term wasn’t in vogue for most of my life, but that’s basically what my parents did and as such, influenced how I was raised. Nothing like the Doomsday Preppers made famous by the show of that title…
