In this episode, we focus on the practical techniques behind earth-working—how to shape land to retain water, prevent erosion, and support productive ecosystems. We explore core principles like planning for slope and flow, choosing the right types of earthworks for different landscapes, and using simple tools to measure level accurately. From planting strategies that protect new formations to using on-site materials like clay, stone, and gravel, this episode provides a full walkthrough of how...

This conversation delves into the crucial role of climate in shaping everything from orchard layouts to the placement and insulation of homes. We discuss major climate zones, global atmospheric “engines,” and factors like precipitation, solar radiation, and wind. We also explore how landforms and latitude create microclimates that can be harnessed or mitigated in design. Throughout, the emphasis is on resilience: learning to anticipate extreme conditions, store resources, and make decisions t...
