Edible Urban Garden: Grow Sweet Potatoes and Sprouts In Your Apartment

What’s up to my ravenous rainbow boas and salubrious sea squirts!

Welcome to Barbarian Noetics and thank you for joining! To my patrons: y’all are the purple pigment in my Okinawa sweet potatoes. You are appreciated!

You can grow delicious and nutritious food in your apartment!

This episode is a meditative solo meandering affair. Topics include the Great Mystery, indoor urban gardening, productivity and self-reliance. (And the bird flu. It all ties in, trust me.)

I kick off by pontificating on the nature of the Universe and existence, and sharing a vision I had at a warehouse party.  Then it’s a chat about my latest efforts to grow food in the industrial district of S. Phoenix: a land of concrete, asphalt, sidewalks so hot you can fry an egg, and paper factory olfactory assaults. And yet, the possibilities for indoor and patio gardening are endless!

First I discuss growing sweet potatoes in containers. Sweet potatoes, or Ipomoea batatas, are an ancient and nutritious copper-colored tuber with lush green verdant vines. I guarantee, if I can grow them on my apartment steps, you can grow them too. Hit me up at [email protected] and let me know how you do it! 

Secondly I talk about sprouting bean, pea, radish, broccoli and clover seeds. Sprouting is especially fantastic because you don’t even need soil! Just a couple trays and running water and you’re good. And sprouts are incredibly nutrient dense and delicious.

Finally, I give a heads up to my beloved listeners about bird flus and rumors of bird flus. Millions and millions of chickens are being “culled” as we speak, all around the world. Egg prices are skyrocketing, and talk of chicken shortages is gaining steam. The story gets deeper, but you’ll just have to listen in to find out. Info link below.

If you have backyard chickens: treat them like gold!! Some of the finest and cleanest protein available to us is free range backyard chicken eggs.
