Comparing Corn Shellers Esoteric Agriculture 2018-11-01 | Esoteric Agriculture, Episode 41, Comparing Corn Shellers. In this episode I demonstrate the use of three different corn ( Maize) shellers. All three shellers are human muscle powered, and two out of three are antiques. Corn shellers were an essential and ubiquitous component of historic North American farms and homesteads. I demonstrate the Mountville Hero two hole corn sheller with seed cleaner, the Root-Heath Corn sheller, and the Decker tiny hand held sheller. All 3 have their uses and their pros and cons. Please check out the excellent corn sheller video by Oxbow Farm!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y7UOnFSKZqc&feature=youtu.be Opening title music- Mary Celeste by Kevin MacLeod.Mary Celeste by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500016Artist: http://incompetech.comEnd Music- Deep Horrors by Kevin MacLeod.Music courtesy of YouTube Free Audio Library.

Crevice Garden Build including Reptile Hibernaculum, Recycling Concrete into a Cactus Garden Esoteric Agriculture 2021-11-21 | One year in the making, this episode documents my construction of a crevice/crack/rock garden built primarily out of recycled concrete rubble aka urbanite. I also incorporated a reptile hibernaculum, or hibernation den/chamber into the build. In addition, I also briefly discuss building a second reptile or amphibian hibernation chamber from only wood and wood products. This rubble crevice garden was heavily inspired by the recycled concrete crevice garden built by Plant Delights Nursery. However, their concrete consists of slabs of fairly regular size, while my rubble is irregular rough chunks more resembling tufa than anything else.youtu.be/THLN33Ab5WMOpening music- - Synthwave Rhythmics ( Eurythmics New Retro Wave 80’s Synth Pop 2018.By Aries Beats.

NORTHMOST SEEDWOOL, Growing Cotton in the North. *Anglish* Esoteric Agriculture 2020-11-24 | EPISODE SIXTY FIVE NORTHMOST SEEDWOOL Growing Cotton in the NorthIn this episode I discuss my experiences growing Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum , in my cold USDA zone 6b Pennsylvania garden.As an intellectual exercise I decided to use Anglish for all the text in this video. It was fun but challenging to make this one. If you aren’t familiar Anglish is a movement towards English linguistic purism, it basically is the attempt to only use words with a broadly Germanic etymological origin. There is an active movement of language enthusiasts online who enjoy these sorts of things. Hopefully the casual viewing audience won’t be too irritated with me for this !Regarding Cotton- In my climate, it’s impossible to harvest any significant quantities of cotton fiber if you grow the plants in the open garden. It is generally possible to harvest a few mature pods with ripe seeds each year IF you start by planting out large started plants into the garden. I’ve typically used 4.5” pots and planted seedlings about 8-10” tall. All of my seed was sourced from Sandhill Preservation, but Southern Exposure Seed Exchange is also a great source of cotton seeds for planting. sandhillpreservation.com/cottonsouthernexposure.com/categories/cottonGrowing Cotton is very worthwhile as an educational experience. It’s interesting to learn how hard to pick and how hard to separate the seeds from the fibers can be. There is enormous historical value in these old colored fiber cotton strains, not all pleasant, but it’s a part of history and should be preserved. Cotton makes an pleasing ornamental as it’s in the Hibiscus family, Malvaceae. It bears the typical showy Hibiscus flowers, and the pods can be useful in dried arrangements, wreaths, or other crafts. If you want to learn more about growing Cotton, check out this guide from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. southernexposure.com/cotton-growing-guideIf you want to learn more about Anglish, check out the following links-Langfocus YouTube- youtu.be/IIo-17SIkwsThe Anglish Moot- anglish.fandom.com/wiki/Main_leafr/anglish subreddit- reddit.com/r/anglishThis video was originally recorded October 17, 2017.

DESTER TOMATO, the best backyard beefsteak? Esoteric Agriculture 2020-11-17 | EPISODE SIXTY FOUR DESTER TOMATO In this episode I discuss my experience growing and eating the ‘Dester’ tomato variety. Dester is a large, oblate, pink beefsteak tomato. The fruits routinely reach over 1 pound, 500 grams, and are very meaty, with few seeds. Texture is quite soft, and skin is thin, so not a great shipping tomato. Reasonably productive although like most beefsteak heirloom tomatoes, it will not set fruit in higher temperatures. It is a fairly early variety for it’s class, I was able to get ripe fruits in approximately 60-75 days. Disease resistance is better than average for an heirloom, some Septoria, but holds on a long time before succumbing. My seed source was Baker Creek. rareseeds.com/store/vegetables/tomato/pink/desterPlants are extremely vigorous regular leaf indeterminate vines. I had 9 feet, 2.47 meter vines in 60-75 days. My location is Southern Pennsylvania, USA, USDA zone 6b. Video was originally recorded July 30, 2019. Thanks for watching!!

ABSOLUTE ANCHOTE, The best crop you’ve never heard of. Episode 63. Esoteric Agriculture 2020-11-14 | In this episode I describe my experience growing, harvesting, storing, and eating Anchote, Coccinia abyssinica. This unusual Ethiopian tuber crop has tremendous potential to be grown in areas outside of Africa. I sourced the seeds from J.L. Hudson, Seedsman. jlhudsonseeds.netMy growing environment is USDA Zone 6b, United States, Pennsylvania, North America. I document leaves, flowers, immature and mature fruits, and tubers. I discuss my attempts to store the tubers, and I record myself tasting the fruits and my reactions to the flavor. Anchote is in the squash family, Cucurbitaceae, but the tuber is the edible and tasty portion instead of the fruits. I believe this may be the only video on YouTube documenting growing Anchote. It’s probably also the only video of anyone eating Anchote fruit.

Death By Sauerkraut Four Year Old Sauerkraut Reveal Esoteric Agriculture 2019-12-08 | Esoteric Agriculture Episode Fifty One, Death by Sauerkraut, Four Year Old Sauerkraut Reveal. In this episode I open two Sauerkraut buckets that had been sealed but not canned or frozen, and had been left in my garage for four years. The Sauerkraut was naturally lactofermented by me in the Autumn of 2015. The Cabbage variety was Late Flat Dutch. This isn’t a how to video, it’s meant as more of an entertaining and slightly demented science experiment.If you are interested in Fermentation may I suggest you read ‘ The Art of Fermentation ‘ by Sandor Katz. I don’t know of a finer reference on Fermentation. I own this book and have tried many other things besides Sauerkraut. amazon.com/Art-Fermentation-Depth-Exploration-Essential/dp/160358286X/ref=nodl_Source for Cabbage Late Flat Dutch- sustainableseedco.com/products/late-flat-dutch-cabbage?variant=3172032708648Thanks for watching!

Austrian Apple Polenta Episode 44 Pomaceous Polenta Esoteric Agriculture 2019-07-27 | Austrian Apple Polenta Episode 44 Pomaceous Polenta. In this episode I demonstrate ( somewhat poorly) a traditional Austrian Polenta recipe, suggested by a viewer, Teosinte. Many thanks to Teosinte for making this video possible. Complete recipe below- Polenta mit ApfelnZutaten:.05L Wasser, 1 Prise Salz, ca. 200g Maisgreiss, 5 EL Obers, 2 EL Honig, Vanille, Zitronenschale, (ungespritz) , 100g Butter, ca. 0.5 kg Apfel, 50 g Rosinen, 2 Eier, ein Schuss Rum. Zubereitung: Polenta in das gesalzene Wasser einruhren, kochen lassen bis eine dickliche Masse entsteht, Obers, Gewurze, Eier und Rum einruhren. In einer Aufflaform Butter zergehen lassen, Maismasse einfullen, mit geschnittenen Apfeln, Rosinen bestreuen, man kann sie auch unter die Polenta mischen und im Rohr 20-25 min. Backen.Polenta with apples0.5 Liter Water, one pinch of salt, approximately 200 grams of Polenta corn (coarsely ground) 5 Tablespoons Cream, 2 Tablespoons Honey, lemon zest, (untreated), 100 grams Butter, about 0.5 Kilograms Apples, 50 grams raisins, 2 eggs, a shot of rum. Preparation: Stir the Polenta into the salted water, boil until a thick mass is formed. Stir in the cream, spices, eggs and rum. Melt butter in a casserole, fill it with the corn mixture, sprinkle it with sliced apples and raisins. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. **IMPORTANT NOTE ** Teosinte suggests mixing most of the melted butter into the cornmeal mixture, and only reserving enough butter to grease the casserole dish. Teosinte also suggests sprinkling with powdered sugar when finished. My notes- I used about a teaspoon of vanilla, Bronze Beauty Flint Corn, Goldrush apples, Bulleit Bourbon in place of the rum, and the zest from one small orange as I didn’t have rum or a lemon at the time of baking. I also cooked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.Follow me on Instagram @realesotericagriculture.

Botched Biochar, Episode 38, Chthonic Colliers, Esoteric Agriculture Esoteric Agriculture 2018-09-29 | This episode documents two attempts at making Biochar otherwise known as charcoal, with low tech methods and tools.

SHENK’S FERRY WILDFLOWER PRESERVE Esoteric Agriculture 2018-06-27 | Esoteric Agriculture Episode 34, Eostre Returns, Spring Wildflowers. On May 5 2018 I visited Shenk’s Ferry Wildflower Preserve in Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. This remarkable site consists of a narrow ravine cut by a small stream through limestone. The stream enters the Susquehanna River at this location. Most of the similar ravines in the area lack the limestone , which creates a highly diverse and locally unique flora. Native wildflowers, in particular spring ephemerals, are extraordinarily abundant here. A few highlights are Trillium flexipes, Phlox divaricata, Arisaema triphylla, Asimina triloba, Galearis spectabilis, and many, many others. Some miscellaneous topics or tangents include convergent evolution, pollination strategies of woodland plants, flowers as insect traps, Saxifrage Russell, The Three Mile Island Nuclear Disaster, Sasquatch, Trolls, Tolkien, The Germanic goddess Eostre, Thylacines, and levels of radioactivity that shouldn’t be possible.Opening title music- Mary Celeste by Kevin MacLeod.Mary Celeste by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500016Artist: http://incompetech.comMain sequence music- Canon in D Major by Kevin MacLeod.Canon in D Major by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100301Artist: http://incompetech.comSecond Sequence music- Martian Cowboy by Kevin MacLeod.Martian Cowboy by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100349Artist: http://incompetech.comEnd Music- Deep Horrors by Kevin MacLeod.Music courtesy of YouTube Free Audio Library.
