Ep. 63 – So You Want to Do Solar Energy?

Making Solar Work for You

This is the first episode in a series on Solar energy. Steve of Steve of Regenerative Home Solutions.com gives an overview of solar energy, what questions you should be asking yourself, and drives into an energy audit as the first steps for sizing your solar energy needs.

This is what Steve’s 8kw solar setup looks like on his garage roof.

For more information on Steve’s setup, see his website Regenerative Home Solutions.com – Cultivating a Sustainable Lifestyle.

This was an audio review of a Solar #GSD Workshop that we put on as part of our local community group.

Chestnut seeds for planting, chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
