Hey y'all, welcome to this week's show. Really, I should say take two of this week's show, because as I think I've mentioned before, I live in a very rural area. I mean, my town is like, I think 70 people. It's not really a town, of course. And the county seat is like 400 people. And I live, plus that, I live pretty far deep in the woods. And so I have really lousy internet service.

very few options for internet service and almost no cell coverage. I mean, a lot of times I actually have to drive to the next county to make a phone call. I mean, it's really that bad. And sometimes for like two, three counties, I can't get a call in or out, you know. So I pre-record my shows. And yesterday's, we had some technical problems after doing a good hour-long, very informative show on today's subject, which is growing herbs that are antibiotic and antiseptic. Very important topic.

And several gardening tips and, you know how I tend to go off in various directions. I replayed the show and it sounded like Ben Stein sitting in a massage chair. It was like sped up. My voice was weird and high. I'm not sorry, Ben Stein, Ben Shapiro. That makes a whole lot more sense. It's not, you know, Bueller. I'm talking Ben Shapiro, who talks like a chipmunk.

And it's not a true conservative, by the way. Don't let him fool you. He's a real fake. Anyway, it sounded like that. And, of course, I don't talk that fast, and I don't talk that high-pitched. I actually have a little bit of testosterone in my system. Something else, Benstein lacks, as well as conservatism and ethics. The shaky, choppy part, I don't.

I can't explain it all. So I had to just trash the whole show and start over. Getting started on, take two of my presentation, I guess you'd say, five antibiotic and antipseptic herbs and one tree. Remember this all comes from my book, Growing Your Survival Herb Garden. We got to start with garlic. I mean, garlic is just, you know, if I could only choose one or two herbs to have, garlic would be top of the list.

Garlic is so good for you in so many ways. It helps with blood pressure. It helps with circulation. It is antiseptic. It's antibiotic. It can be used on wounds. It can be used internally. And it tastes wonderful.

And you can actually help you not catch a cold. It can be part of your whatever fire cider or whatever you make. It's good for the lungs. It has expectant properties. Garlic is just really one of the best herbs there it is. All the aliums have these properties, onions, shallots, leeks, etc. Ramps are very nice and strong. Ramps usually grow wild, though.

Garlic is generally considered the strongest of the aliums. Now, when you use garlic, generally you want to crush the garlic bulb to release the oil. and let them kind of oxidize a little bit. Yes, that makes the garlic hotter, but it makes it more potent medicinally. When it comes to growing garlic, it's really, really neat because, all right, first of all,

don't try to grow storebog garlic. It's a crapshoot. You could plant 100 little bulbs of garlic, and maybe one or two of them are going to work. And that's because it's cured. You really want to get your garlic from a seed company. And it doesn't have to be terribly expensive. In fact, SeedsNow.com, which sells really inexpensive seeds and offers, I think, usually discounts on shipping.

And like every month, they'll send out a 20% off coupon if you order on this day. I've ordered a lot of seeds from seeds now. They don't give you big packs of seeds. But every year, I think it's like once a year they put their garlic on sale. and it's maybe five bucks, and that's like the most expensive thing they have in their entire catalog. You only get a few clothes, but they're good quality garlic clothes that are going to grow. When garlic forms, when it grows, it forms a head. That head, which is often called a clove, is actually a head of garlic,

and it's comprised of, what, maybe 30 little clothes of garlic. Those are bulbs. Each one of those will sprout into a separate plant. So if you only had three or five garlic cloves that were good to grow, you could grow out five garlic plants, eat three or four of them, and have enough garlic left over to grow 30 or 60 or 100 plants the next season. So it's a really good investment. Garlic has other really good attributes in the garden. It can help propel pests. are some bugs that really don't like garlic, but really what garlic is great at is helping to keep moles out of your garden. Moles love to eat roots, right?

They will tunnel under your garden and they're real pests. I mean, you can use mole traps. You know, my great-grandfather was constantly trapping moles. Those are really, well, it's really some of the first trapping I was exposed to. And there's a lot of strategy involved. And the traps themselves are spring-loaded with these like blades that come down or spikes. I mean, kind of fascinating to a little kid, you know. Moles and voles are different.

Moles go underground. Voles, which are really more like mice. Anyway, they're both rodents. Anyway, they go kind of under mulch. They go under pine straw. So actually, if you kind of rake stuff back from your garden, and put in a little layer of pea gravel around the edges, if you have a problem with voles, that really helped.

Because when they get that pea gravel, or it can be larger gravel, but they really don't want to go through rocks, and they won't find your garden that way. Moles will just tunnel under. Well, one thing moles really hate is garlic. So when you plant your garlic, I like to think of it as a border crop. I plant it around my beds to keep the moles out.

There's actually several plants that are really good at keeping the critters out of your garden. Some of them help even repel insects. A lot of their more aromatic herbs. Bugs just don't like them. But rabbits can be a problem for folks. Rabbits do not like wormwood and they don't like lemon grass. Neither do deer. Now deer are a little trickier because the deer actually has to be down and like browsing and grazing the ground to encounter the wormwood or the lemon grass. So sometimes they just kind of jump over it and they don't even notice it's there. But rabbits usually will not go through a barrier of those plants. Deer really, though, hates sorghum and they hate lima beans. If you do a border around your vegetable garden,

or if it's landscaping, of, say, maybe three staggered rows of sorghum, which is a very useful crop. You can do a lot of stuff with sorghum. It's a really great sugar substitute. You can make beer out of sorghum. You can make sorghum molasses. I mean, you know, you can eat it as a grain. It's a really good plant. Easy, super easy to grow. I mean, sorghum compared to corn is like a no-brainer. And then plant your lima beans right there with them. The lymabines will grow up the sorghum. They will make a natural fence to fenced out deer. Now, of course, you can also see that your attracting critters can be a benefit. For instance, I kind of arrange things so that the rabbits come to a certain point and I catch them in rabbit boxes and it becomes a food source. To the extent

that I can in the season, I like to take deer the same way. I don't have a need to go set up a tree stand and, you know, go full camo, rambo in the woods to get my deer meat. I just set up and take the ones that come to my yard. Yeah, I shoot the yard deer. It makes sense to me, and it helps protect my garden, and that makes the pest an asset. Same with bear. You know, we got a lot of bears in my area. I just keep an eye on the ones coming through the yard. They do. They really like to browse around, and so the old sow I'm looking for, wait too cold, perfect day to take that bear. You could do the same with raccoons. Raccoon cook the way is actually very good meat. We're not talking garbage can raters. We're talking the ones that

live in the woods and eat natural clean stuff. Same with possums, actually. And in my book, the omnivores guide to home cooking, I really get into how to trap coons and possums, give them a nice clean diet for a while, and then prepare them in a way that you're going to find remarkably tasty if you've never tried it before. And yes, I know possums can be kind of nasty, but again there's an Appalachian tradition of keeping them and raising them almost like chickens giving you a clean diet and you know harvesting when the time comes it's true many animals especially where I live groundhogs we have huge groundhogs I mean it is nothing to take a 15 pound groundhog I mean they're big they're not those little groundhogs that you get in other areas and they're super clean vegetarian animals very

actually very wary and quite a challenge to hunt. I have a friend who lives in upstate New York, and his groundhogs are pretty darn big too. And his father taught him to, well, he's a big bow hunter. And it's, I mean, you want to challenge, try to hunt groundhogs with a bow and arrow. I mean, it's tough. They will smell you coming like 200 yards away.

Okay, they have bad vision, but they have incredible noses and ears. But what his father taught him to do is take a little trend. is to radio and, you know, wait till the groundhog's in its burrow, come up and put it just, you know, a few yards away and turn it on to a normal volume, and then run away real quick and wait. That curious groundhog has to come up and see what that noise is. He cannot help themselves, and that's how he hunts a groundhog, but they're actually very easy to trap.

If it's legal where you are, a body grip trap over the entry to their borough or den, take them every time. And you may have to put a box over that to exclude other animals. You know, it may not even be legal in your area. Like in North Carolina, snaring is illegal. Snaring works very well for ground hogs, but we can only do it for water sets for beaver. It's pretty stupid, really. Meanwhile, just across the line, Tennessee, it's a constitutional right to hunt fish and trap. The regulations are night and day.

South Carolina has better fishing regulations, better seafood regulations, but in some instances, tougher hunting regulations. You're just going to have to see what the deal is in your area. I think in, is it Virginia, you can take more deer than you can in North Carolina or is it Georgia? I think both of them maybe. It just, you know, it totally varies. So I'm not telling you, go do this. I'm telling you to check your regs. But actually if rabbits are your concern, what a wonderful food source.

What a great concern to have. Check my old friend Tim, the meat trapper on YouTube. His video is still up of this rabbit box trap he designed that had just an ingenious trigger system. It's what we would call an elegant system. Elegant doesn't mean fancy. It means perfectly simple and working without any waste. Okay. And it's a brilliant trap.

that's the meat trapper, Tim Roper, and his videos are still up on YouTube. It's just kind of like, you know, the father of permaculture was Bill Mollison and a real, you know, scoundrel of a guy and real brilliant, but, you know, on the liberal side and all that. But he had a great mind for solving problems. And someone said to him one time they had just this horrible problem with slugs in a garden. And he looked at him and said, you don't have a slug problem. you have a duck problem. If you got ducks, the ducks would eat the slugs. You could then eat the ducks, and your garden would be, you know, protected from slugs,

and your freezer would be full of delicious duck meat. So that's kind of the way I think about gardens. You know, chickens are, they'll destroy your garden. Guinea fowl are the best little pest control system you can get if you can put up with them. They're very annoying creatures, but they're very tasty creatures as well. So it's sort of a trade-off, you know. The only thing with ducks and geese is the... Well, now, some geese will actually pull up plants

for no apparent reason sometimes. Ducks can trample small plants, so... But for the most part, if your garden is mature, ducks do great, and guineas always do great. If you had to, you could probably even get, like, quail, you know? Maybe pigeons. Just, you know, keep them in a little coop, and just kind of let them help with the bugs.

I think pigeons are more seed eaters, so you'd have to be careful with that, obviously. But, hey, that could prevent a lot of weed spreading. There's so many things you can do. You know, the only animal I really don't have a good solution for is squirrels. Squirrels are the bane of my existence when it comes to gardening. They will go dig up the seeds you planted for no apparent reason, just to see what you put in the ground.

They'll just go dig it up and leave it out. I will go plant my garden. I come back the next morning. All my seeds are scattered all over the ground. The plants come up about an inch, inch or too tall. The squirrels just go dig them up or cut them off. One time I thought cutworms had destroyed my corn that year. No, it turns out there were three or four squirrels that just went around and cut all the little corn plants off at the base.

They would drive me nuts. So here's my solution for squirrels. squirrel meat's really good. It's actually one of the tastiest wild game meats. And no matter where you live, unless you are in an apartment or something, okay, you may live where you can't fire a rifle, obviously. If you live in town or whatever, most, even in tight neighborhoods, don't have regulations against air rifles. You know, the regulations are still written for like the old Daisy Red Rider BB gun. They're still think of it as for kids.

Well, there have been huge innovations over the past couple of decades in air rifles. A few years ago, I got a hat sand that's H-A-T-S-A-N-22 caliber, break-barrel, air rifles, just a single shot, you know. They come either break-barrel or they come with compressed air. They now have very large calibers. I mean, you can get a 50 caliber that you could actually, people hunt wild hogs with them. I mean, these things are serious power. And really for up to, say, 50 yards and maybe even like 60 or 70, that air rifle has replaced my standard 22 rifle.

The ammo is so cheap. I mean, well, I mean, 22 is not generally expensive caliber. You know, you can get a bunch of them for just plinking. But think about this. You can get like a hat sand or you can spend more on a Benjamin or, you know, some of these air rifles. It just depends on what your needs are and your budget. I bought mine for $75 bucks.

refurbished. You can get a thing of pellets, like what is it, 200, 500 pellets to a 10 for five bucks. I mean, if things were really to, you know, get bad and I was looking at not so much firearms for self-defense, but looking at my options for hunting for survival, which would include a lot of small game, allow it definitely buy a few of these high-powered air rifles. And I would definitely stock up on pellets. Bullets, you know, they kind of have an expiration date. Pellets don't. Get a, you know, a couple extra parts, learn to take them apart and fix them when something breaks. And, you know, honestly, in a self-defense situation, some of those larger calibers wouldn't be a bad thing to have on hand. You know, it's not going to replace my shotgun. It's not going to replace my,

you know, 270, my favorite deer rifle, old Winchester Pomp. I love that thing. But in the In many circumstances, that is not a practical rifle to shoot. I mean, those bullets go a long way. I mean, 270's a round that's going to pack a wallop way beyond what you can see with your eyes. And so, yeah, I mean, for close range, you know, your backyard, keeping the past side of the garden and putting a little extra meat on the table or in the freezer, I think, yeah, go to Airgun Depot or a similar site and look around. You cut options that will really really blow your mind, actually. If you're still, you know, remembering a Christmas story and the Daisy Red Rider, I actually have one of those old.

I found a Daisy Red Rider at an antique store when I was like 10 years old. I had to have it after seeing a Christmas story. And, you know, it was super fun. You know, you just loaded up with beavies and just start, you know, plinking away. But, you know, you're not going to take anything very large with that. I mean, if you hit a pigeon in the head, maybe, you know. but with that hats in it'll punch through two by fours i mean i'm not kidding i mean i'll take some scrap wood and set it up at like 50 yards and go back and just start fooling around dialing in the

scope they have such a kick that the scope gets you know you always have to keep readjusting it and i mean it'll just punch right through a two by four i mean if it'll punch through a two by four it'll punch through um yeah most critters skulls yeah really yeah anyway uh let me get back to the subject, which is garlic. Okay? So, let me see. I've already talked about how to make a fence out of sorghum and lime of beans. It's a really good tip, by the way. Really, really helps with deer. I mean, deer will jump fences, you know, where I live, because they're hills, they will jump over a very tall fence and then not be able to get back out of your garden because they can get up on the hill on the outside, right? And then they just kind of rampage and destroy everything for, yeah,

Anyway, so I said how garlic grows from bulbs. There are two types of garlic. There's hard neck and soft neck. The, let's see, in the cold climate, it does better, let's see, all right, I'm losing my place here. In warm climates, garlic should be planted in early spring and as early as possible. In cold climates, it does better plan in the fall and well covered with mulch. Plant the clothes about 2 inches deep, 4 to 6 inches apart.

Garlic prefers a light moist soil with some mulch on top. It does not like weeds. You may have to weed this one a little bit, but the benefit of using mulch is that you can kind of cover the weeds up and keep weeds from germinating and it really helps. And garlic does like full sun, and as I said, it's a great border plant. The hardneck garlic does better in cold climates, the soft neck garlic does better in warm climates. I usually grow the hard neck, of course, because I live in a cold area and it works much better for me.

Now, just as I said, all the alliums are good. Well, all the Artemisians are good. And I've already mentioned the most famous of the Artemisians, which is Wormwood. Really, all the artemesias are among my favorite herbs. These are probably some of the oldest herbs known to man. primitive man figured out if he stuck them in water, it would make the water safe to drink. They're antimicrobial. They kill the stuff that is in there. That's probably the first tea people came up with was probably a wormwood or a sage tea, which has similar properties. Well, I could go on and on about wormwood. It's the main herb used in that scent and all that.

it's a great liver stimulant. It's also a very, very good antiseptic. And so one, you definitely want in your garden. It's a pretty plant. The foliage is going to look really good. The flowers aren't much, but this is a good one. You could put maybe some, you know, it's sort of a, almost a silvery green, kind of shiny leaf. And you could put maybe some red flowers in front of it, or some violets or maybe some blue flower or something to kind of make it pop. So you could work this in if you have to have an ornamental garden. Wormwood is weedy. All the upsets are leedy.

They can do pretty well in poor soils. They don't like a lot of water. They do like full sun. The seeds need to be stratified. So either plant seeds in the winter or fall or pop them in the freezer for a couple of weeks. It doesn't need a long stratification. It's period at all. Like I said, just moderate water, fairly drought resistant.

But, you know, if you, it could profit from a little bit of mulch and water if the soil is really bad or if it is really dry that year. I'm not saying you can just totally neglect it, but really once it's established, it's perennial and it's going to take care of its own, take care of itself on its own. The only thing about Wormwood is it does not play well with others. You know, I've talked before about how walnut trees, the Jugwins family, puts out oxidates from its roots that will prevent other plants from germinating around it. It's called Jugloat, actually.

Wormwood's similar. A lot of plants, most plants, don't grow well near wormwood. It hinders their growth. So you want to consider, you don't want to put your wormwood right up next to your tomato plants or something. Sit them back, you know, a row.

and grow things in front of them, basically. Or use it as a border plant. Like I said, it's going to help keep rabbits and deer out of your garden. It would be really nice to do, you know, a row of wormwood, go back a foot and do maybe a row of garlic. It may even take a little bit more than that, but you put up two barriers against, you know, moles, and then the deer and the rabbits and all that. And, yeah, they'll probably leave your garden alone a lot better, or you can kind of use that to direct them toward your traps,

or the best spot in your yard to take a shot at something. Think of it that way. Anyway, easy plant to grow hardy from Zone 4A to 8B. So that's like much of Canada down to South Georgia and Alabama. So easy, easy, easy. Your berberin containing herbs, it's golden seal, barberry, organ grape, coptice. I've mentioned this so many times.

I love organ grape. The berberin is the yeast. yellow pigment in the root, one of the best antiseptics for wounds. For instance, very good taken internally. Good for colds and flus. Good for food poisoning. These are great to have around. I use Oregon grape mostly because it's been used as a landscaping crop so much in my region

that the birds have carried the seeds everywhere. And I rarely go out without seeing a little Oregon grape bush that I can pull up if I need it. I grow it in my yard. It's very prickly. leaves are sort of like holly but holly on steroids with like really scary thorns a lot of people use it as a hedge plant put it under the windows to keep people from breaking your house or peeping in your windows the berries can make a very nice wine or jam excellent plant now if you couldn't do a hedge look at coptis or gold thread pretty little flower you definitely grow it in in your garden

but organ grape is my go-to and it's so easy to grow. I mean, it's the zone 5a to 9b, very, very hearty. Very, very hardy. I mean, my friends in Canada have as much Oregon grape as I have. I mean, it's just everywhere. And it's so tough. I mean, a lot of times, well, I'll lead to grow a lot of organ grapes. So when I find one in the woods, I might cut off half the root and use it medicinally and then just stick the rest of the plant in the ground. It will grow right back. Super tough. I mean, like a bulletproof, you can grow this one. No problem. Oregano and thyme are culinary herbs, but both of them contain the compound thyme all.

That's the essential oil. That is strongly antibiotic. Strongly antibiotic. Definitely worth growing these herbs in your garden. Both of them can be a little tricky. Both of them are Mediterranean herbs. You might want to grow them in pots. But if you cook with a lot of oregano and time and you use a lot of garlic and onions,

in your soup, in your tomato sauce, and you know, whatever, you're probably going to be overall healthier. So definitely worth trying to grow. You're both perennial. You can start from seed, but germination isn't great on either of them. They can be very tender, and they actually take a long time to germinate. I mean, you can put the seeds in the ground, and like a month later, they still haven't come up, and then suddenly they'll pop up. And, you know, you're like, What is that? I don't even remember what I planted. But they are actually attractive plants if you can get them going. And once they do get going, they're pretty hardy.

They take care of themselves. They're just kind of hard to get established. And it's often much easier to plant them from cuttings and seed. And you can just root the cuttings and propagate them out. And in fact, once you get one or two growing, it's easy to spread the plant that way. Hardy from Zone 5-8 to 9b actually once they get going. But just remember that it is a Mediterranean plant, and when it comes up, it's very tender. It's expecting that warm Mediterranean sun and not too much water at all.

But yeah, they do well. And you might actually, this time of year, go down to your garden center, your grocery store, your hardware store, whatever, and just buy a couple plants and get them established and then just take cuttings from that. probably going to be a lot easier. Just remember, neither one of them likes being overwatered. Like wormwood, they don't like wet feet, as we say. Dandelion, the hated weed, and every golfer and lawn fanatic, is such a wonderful plant.

I mean, that would be another of my top five herbs. In this case, I mean, I can go on about the benefits of dandelion, just like I could about wormwood, or garlic even. Dandelion is specifically antibiotic against urinary tract, bladder infections, and cystitis. So if that's an issue, let's just say if you have a lady in your life, it's going to be an issue at some point. Grow some dandelion. And, of course, you can go out and gather the seeds when they form those little puffball heads in the wild. Or you can get some seeds from like Baker Creek.

I think they have these French dandelions that are growing for the greens. They're less bitter and they actually have a little purple tint to them, and a very attractive plant. You can work them into your landscaping, and you'd really be surprised how pretty dandelions can be if they're planted intentionally. And, you know, if you've got this idea that dandelion is some noxious weed that you need to spray down with chemicals that are going to give you cancer,

just so you have a perfectly green yard, you're probably not going to like my book very much. because I have like the opposite idea but even if you do and you need to put your little garden plot behind your house where the people in the HOA don't see it or the POA plant a row of garden dandelion your garden and just think of it as a medicinal herb and delicious tasty greens wonderful wonderful green vegetables take those leaves cook them down a little fat put some hot pepper vinegar on there just delicious Now, of course, Daniel Lion is synonymous with weeds. I mean, it is Hardy from zone 3A to 10B. That's like Alaska to South Texas. To the Keys, I mean, that is, you know, a huge range.

It will grow in very poor soil, and it puts out so many seeds that one puff of wind will spread it. Now, the seeds do have to be stratified to germinate. They do actually take a little bit of work, I guess you could say. Nature does that for the plant, of course. The more care you give the plant, the better the soil is, the mulch, good watering, the taste of your dandelion greens are going to be. And you may want to pick the flowers and make dandelion wine or dandelion syrup. I call it sunshine in a bottle. Absolutely fantastic. And if you cut the flowers in the bud

form, you could pickle those and they make like capers, you know. But the dandelion leaves will stay less bitter if you don't let it flower. If you don't let it flower, it's not going to form seed heads. If it does form seed heads, it doesn't spread and become weedy. So I gather plenty from the mountains all around me. They grow wild everywhere. But if you have that perfect lawn, put some in your garden, take care of them as you would, you know, crop of turnip greens or mustard greens, lettuce, whatever. And you're going to probably kind of get the same attitude as I have of, like, what is wrong with people who keep trying to get this plant off their property?

It is medicinal, like 10 times more than most plants. It's delicious and it has more uses than just about anything. Another one, we'll get to the tree. Now, you can obviously grow trees, hopefully you have one on your property, but you're probably going to be able to find this in the woods around you in a park and a neighbor's yard. It's juniper. You can definitely harvest juniper berries in places that aren't on your property because nobody really eats juniper berries anymore for some reason. Juniper berries are what we use to flavor gin. Juniper berries are strongly medicinal.

They have antibiotic and antiseptic properties. They have antiviral properties. They are so good for you. They are packed with vitamin C. You pick them when they're nice and blue. The wild juniper in my area is actually called Eastern Red Cedar, even though it's a juniper, not a cedar. It's juniperous, Virginia, I believe.

Juniperus, I guess, is right-pay-pranels-that. but the low ground cover junipers or the bush form juniper's that people use in landscaping are equally useful. As long as they grow berries, some of them have been bred not to grow berries, which are actually not berries. They're actually cones, but they're sweet and crunchy and really tasty. I snack on them often. Really, juniper is, well, juniper would also be in that like top five herbs. I don't think I could do without if I had to. pick some and the only thing is too much over too long a period of time can

irritate the kidneys so other than that absolutely fantastic I love juniper well I make my own gin just steeping in vodka it's wonderful with a genitonek but using in cooking with game meats with fatty fattier meats a few juniper berries in there perfect wonderful compliment with like pork chops little rosemary and juniper a little bit of garlic fantastic seriously if you haven't tried it you really need to get that a try all right so other herbs that are good along these lines antibiotic and a septic al-campaign really good weedy flour you could plant it's covered in

another chapter that's the reason all these are covered in another chapter as far as growing them winter grain horse radish yeah the spicy condiment very good spiknard German camoil, horse mint. Now, I'm going to say Tansy, but Tansy can be very dangerous. It can be toxic. It can cause miscarriages. It can actually cause death. I mean, it's, whereas, you know, I give a few caveats with wormwood. You know, don't use this when pregnant. It can be dangerous. Don't use it in large amounts or long period of time or, you know, never use the essential oil of wormwood. that'll kill you deader than a doornail, whatever. And all that's in my book.

You know, I'm just kind of going over things here in a general way. Tansy is like probably ten times stronger and can actually be quite dangerous. Now, in small amounts, it is a very useful herb. Spearmint, very good. And hops, yes, the hops, the flavored beer. Which all these are covered in other chapters. Now, that's about it, y'all. Have a wonderful week.
