Episode #64, Hugelkultur Gardening and Spirulina Cultivation with William Padilla-Brown

This is Episode #64, and today we’re back with William Padilla-Brown who was on the podcast last year sharing about edible algae, and today he shares about how he has set up his new hugelkultur mounds for gardening and what he is planning for a new spiralina pond. He shares some more details about how he is successfully growing, testing and harvesting this algae and how he eats it. Spirulina is basically one of the most nutrient rich and protein dense foods available used throughout history as a food source.

And for those of you who haven’t heard of Hugelkultur, it is a very old and intelligent gardening method using wood, compost and other layers that feed the Soil Food Web.

William is an inspirational educator and adventurer, a talented guy interested in many things. He lives and works to create a more holistic world, and you can follow his work and life via his active instagram account @mycosymbiote.
