Eco-Efficiency, Mulching with Leaves, and the Scatterseed Project with Legend Will Bonsall

Natalie talks with LEGEND Will Bonsall and we're really excited to bring this conversation to you! Will is legendary for his seed saving efforts, the Scatterseed Project, as well as his radical homesteading in western Maine. He is the first to admit that he is not a market gardener and some of the things he does on his homestead aren't feasible if you're trying to make a living selling food, but many of them are! I love his approach to what he calls "eco efficiency" and there is a lot to learn with how Will has designed his systems to use plants to their maximum capacity and make the most of his land.
