On episode 66 of The Permaculture Vine Podcast, Cormac Harkin of Vine Permaculture chats to Scott Miller of Thriving The Future Podcast.

Scott lives on 10 acres in rural NE Kansas, US. 

Along with horses, a donkey, and chickens, Scott’s specialties are food forest guilds, nut trees, and creating new garden beds using Milpa.

Here is my perennial guild plot, planted last year with narrow leaf plantain, horseradish, oregano, walking onions, yarrow, and bloody dock sorrel, bordered by Goji berry, hazelnut, comfrey, and elderberry. This is in a corner of my garden.

Many of my annuals have failed this Spring, so it was good to have such successful perennials to provide greens for my family and the chickens.

Bloody dock sorrel:

Although this looks like a mess, it is my apple guild.

Here is the article with more info:

How I created an Apple Guild – Permaculture

I unfortunately have heavy clay soil. So I created new garden bed using Milpa, a mix of 20-40 seeds, including corn, beans, squash, and greens. I broadfork the clay sod over, add a layer of compost, seed with the Milpa seed mix, and add a light layer of wood chips. It gives me some abundance while building soil. 

When my annuals failed the Spring, I planted a row of Milpa and the mustard greens, sunflower, and buckwheat became dominant.

After facing the challenges of growing hazelnut and chestnut trees in Kansas, I started growing nut trees from locally foraged as well as acquired seed. This has grown into GrowNutTrees.com, a successful local and online business with nut trees adapted to the Midwest.

Elderberry has been especially successful and popular this Spring, with elderberry grown from cuttings and sprouts.
