Listen now
Description
In this episode, we're joined by Buzz Ferver from A Perfect Circle Farms to talk about tree crops, grafting, tree nurseries, acorns, hecans, and much more. What does it look like to build a tree nursery, what should you be considering in that process, and why is it so important to find a niche around which types of trees you're looking to work with? Buzz has worked for 30 years as a consultant to farming operations on every scale, designing and developing on-farm composting as appropriate technology. Buzz has been managing a nursery for tree crops for a decade, and has developed a unique collection of improved native crops as well as some non-native species.   In our interview, he mentions a hard-to-find book around tree selections, check out the link below for a free copy: https://www.songonline.ca/songnews/nutgrowing.html Check out Buzz's nursery at perfectcircle.farm   To support this podcast, join our patreon for early episode access at https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac  For PPA Writing Content, visit: www.agroecologies.org For PPA Restoration Content, visit: www.restorationagroecology.com For PPA Merch, visit: www.poorproles.com For PPA Native Plants, visit: www.nativenurseries.org To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit: www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/
