Ep. 127 – How to Design Your Garden Around Your Diet – with Homestead Padre

New health challenges require Homestead Padre to rethink and redesign his garden to adapt to those changes.

Mediterranean Diet

Padre shares about IBS and Crohn’s Disease.

After some health issues, Homestead Padre and his wife are adopting the Mediterranean Diet.

Unlike American Italian Food, the Mediterranean Diet is heavy emphasis on vegetables, seafood, lean meats, fat from olive oil, and whole wheat pasta (if they have pasta).

Padre is realigning his garden around those foods. Changing what he will grow in his garden – based on new dietary needs. Come and listen to how he plans out his journey.

Highly recommend Joseph Lofthouse’s Landrace Gardening book:

Gear that I use and recommend: Meadow Creature Broadfork 14. I have used this to turn over sod for new Milpa garden beds, and even hand dug swales with it. Bulletproof.
