The Shed Organics Show

This episode I am joined by Swedish biologist and macro-photographer Olle Amcoff, who is taking the world by storm with his incredible shots of the world unseen.

Exploring Swedish forests and landscapes, Olle has managed to capture some incredible plant and insect species that have to be seen to be believed. To see an insect at such detail and blown up to life size, we can see the complexity and unusual forms of these unique creatures, and Olle helps us to understand how these organisms operate in our ecosystems.

In this conversation we touch on Olle's process of capturing these shots, as well as how he got into the field through his love of biology and studies into different moss species. I have no doubt that you will be inspired by Olle's work and will be wanting to follow along on his journey.

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Scott Hall from Syntropia - a mastermind when it comes to understanding syntropic agroforestry and a leading educator in the field.

We spoke about exactly what is meant by a syntropic system and the way in which it differs to neighbouring concepts like permaculture and regenerative farming. Many of these terms have become popular again with a resurgence towards understanding and working with the land.

Scott is here to help us dissect it all and understand the best way in which we can practically manage land, in a way that maximises efficiency for both the people within the system, and the ecosystem itself.

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Tash from the Bay Of Plenty in New Zealand, all about getting started growing food as a beginner!

Tash has journeyed from growing in pots to a small patch in her garden and is proving that no matter how much space you have, you can still grow incredible, nutrient-rich food in abundance. She is a great example of a grower connecting her love of gardening to the greater community and impacting many people along the way.

Not only is she a great grower, but she is wise and insightful into the mindsets required to be a strong content creator and communicator of knowledge online. There is so much to take away from this conversation and I am sure you will agree that it was well worth the time to listen!

This week we are joined by Josh from Yellow Skunk Farms in Virginia, United States. Josh has been building a regenerative indoor creek ecosystem that is enabling him to grow incredible plants and medicine in his garage.

The ecosystem itself features multi layered foundations of sand, silt and clay, a flowing creek into a pond and multiple planting holes of high quality soil. The system is built to be self-sustaining and has everything it needs, all working together.

Josh explains the process of starting this project and how important observation of natural systems has been in his journey to create this natural masterpiece. He uses it to grow medicine and has featured full daily updates on his social media channels - documenting the entire process online!

It was fascinating for me to find out more about this project and I am sure you will find lots of value too! If you enjoyed the conversation please consider subscribing and watching more episodes of the podcast.
