Propaganda By The Seed Podcast
@bytheseed.bsky.social
A very nerdy podcast about plants. Unusual edibles, habitat gardens, cultural context… let’s get deep in the weeds!
In this episode of Propaganda By the Seed, I’m talking with Dr. Bob Bors about Haskaps. Bob spent many years working with this species and selected and named some of the best varieties around. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

I’m starting to schedule interviews and I’ve got a bunch of plants I’m interested in cover where I don’t have a guest in mind. A ideal guest would have deep knowledge of the plant from years of personal experience. They could be a farmer, gardener, nursery producer, academic, breeder, herbalist etc.

In this shorts episode I offer some of my favorite informational resources, from vague concepts to specific books to the exceptionally obvious. Many are linked in the show notes. At the end I try out a new style of Q&A, will it work? Only time will tell. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

Not sure why you would want to, but you can now listen to propaganda by the seed on YouTube. I really dislike doing video production, so I basically don’t do it. There are some handy seed cleaning tutorials on there too that @youngsole put together. m.youtube.com/@infiniteohms

I meant to include this with the grafting episode of Propaganda By the Seed… This shows a tool for splitting rootstocks for cleft grafting. A scrap of thin wood with a 3/8” hole drilled in it. It lets you to cut towards the hand holding the rootstock without risking cutting your hand if you slip.

Today I talk with Eric Toensmeier about trees with edible leaves. You might not think of tree leaves being suitable as human food, but many of them are quite tasty and their seasonality and nutritional content complement both annual and perennial vegetables. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

In this first episode of Propaganda By the Seed shorts I'll be telling you about grafting, a method of plant propagation that joins 2 individual plants (the scion and the rootstock) and lets them grow as one. Stream at edgewood-nursery.com/podcast or on your favorite podcast platforms.

Submit questions now for the new Q&A segment of Propaganda By the Seed! Starting this month I’m experimenting with adding shorter, non-interview episodes between the regular ones, these “shorts” will have time to answer 1 or 2 listener questions.
