Jack SpirkoHOST
Uh, again, I can't remember his name, but it's the something method.
Jack SpirkoHOST
But this exact method for regular potatoes is in the Permaculture One, not the designer's manual, Permaculture One, written in the nineteen seventies by David Holmgren and Bill Mollison.
Jack SpirkoHOST
And they refer to, like, this is, everybody already know this.
Jack SpirkoHOST
Like, this literally was lost between the time that that was published and today and has become resurrected by YouTube creators and such.

And then you look at, you look at people that say they can't afford good food, and you're just thinking, man, like, is not every solution staring us in the face? What...
Jack SpirkoHOST
I think Bill Mollison said the solutions are embarrassingly simple.
Robin GreenfieldGUEST
Yeah, they are.
Robin GreenfieldGUEST

Robin GreenfieldGUEST
they are.
RobGUEST
I mean, but we never, like the horseradish was right next to the front door.
RobGUEST
I don't know if you remember the Bill Mollison book.
RobGUEST
He had a spiral herb garden that had a little pond at the bottom of it.
RobGUEST
And it was like – anyway, I built that thing right next to the front porch there on the house, and that's where the horseradish first started growing.
BillyHOST
Maybe you got a person over here that has gardens, maybe another person over here can grow or likes to grow fruit trees, maybe another person has chickens.
BillyHOST
This was, uh, the guy that wrote The Permaculture Design Manual with Bill Mollison, uh, J- uh, David Hol- Holmgren.
BillyHOST
I can never seem to say his name right.
WilliamHOST
Same.
Judson CarrollGUEST
I got the Master Gardener thing because my grandfather was a A farmer, and he was like a pioneer in that field.
Judson CarrollGUEST
He was permaculture before Bill Mollison ever coined the term.
Judson CarrollGUEST
I mean, you know, he studied Thomas Jefferson.
Judson CarrollGUEST
He went up to Mancello and, like, looked at how he put everything together and up to Washington's place.
Julia SpencerGUEST
Gurus, yeah, that had created the concept.
Julia SpencerGUEST
But it was originally started by a guy named Bill Mollison.
Julia SpencerGUEST
And he wrote the first textbook.
Julia SpencerGUEST
Literally, there's a textbook.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, Bill Mollison, the father of permaculture, said, there's no way we can possibly win, but we have to.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I think that's kind of the motto, really.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, we're up against the billionaires and the gazillionaires and the trillionaires and the, you know, we're up against Terminator.
50 MINS LATER
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think that's a constructive way forward to be much more holistic about sometimes you've just got to stand up against the big money.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
the dark web and the algorithm, you know.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And, and I, you know, Bill Mollison, the father of permaculture, said, there's no way we can possibly win, but we have to.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I think that's kind of the motto, really.
Shane HowardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, we're up against the billionaires and the gazillionaires and the trillionaires and the, you know, it's, we're up against Terminator, like it's, you know, Elon Musk wants a billion robots.
Yasmin AlrabieiGUEST
I think it's less of an over awareness and more of just that kind of an understanding that's like less connected to, for example, neuroscience and art.
Yasmin AlrabieiGUEST
But I do think about this thing that Bill Mollison has spoken about in his book Permaculture, which is about.
Yasmin AlrabieiGUEST
designing agricultural systems that can sustain themselves or that are like sustainable and he talks about this thing called the edge effect and lots of people have done before but it's the edge or the contact zone between two different ecosystems which each have their own like independent resources But there's a certain richness.
Yasmin AlrabieiGUEST
It yields a lot of biodiversity in the edge between those two independent habitats where just a sufficient enough amount of resources from both these separate worlds.
