WTFU • Rob Cruz • Naturalist, Kauai Food Forest, Permaculture Ninja
Wake The Farm Up! - Maintaining Ground
02/09/24 • 75 min
The process and dance with nature ever unfolding through seasons of interactive human animal instinctual rhythm has brought me much joy.... The interplay of vectors observed and the forensic botanical stories unveiled before my eyes as seeds are tossed and lops of the chop and drops from the accumulation of bioactive nutrient under my feet are things I find really neat. My autonomy in the interdependent weave with the ecosystem that I once stewarded encounters the feeling of awe as I realize again and again, the earth stewards me.
This Episode we go to the island of Kauai and to the heart of a contemporary 12 year old Forest Garden...
get involved!

After the edit elves get us in the easy breezy mood, we settle right into a heart felt conversation with Rob Cruz and Ande the Elf.
