    Farming the Floating Gardens (Chinampas) of Mexico with Lucio Usobiaga

    Welcome to episode 378 of Growers Daily! We cover: Last week I caught up with Lucio Usobiaga of Arca Tierra in Mexico, and it's hard to describe everything that this organization does. Their focus is to promote and encourage local agriculture in and around the chinampas – the famed floating gardens – in Mexico and so they aggregate a lot of food from that area. So Lucio and I talk about that. We talk about the chinampas as well—what they are, how they work (like ever think about how to get compost out to a garden on lake?), how they were created, and what their current fate is. It's a fascinating and wide ranging conversation We are a Non-Profit! 👇  🙌  DONATE 🙌 https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ALF4MZX26SVSQ https://app.candid.org/profile/16047666   Links for today:    Arca Tierra: https://www.arcatierra.com/ Arca Tierra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arca.tierra/   MUSIC from this episode:  Endless by Victor Lundberg via www.epidemicsound.com   Support our work (👊) at https://www.notillgrowers.com/support  or https://www.Patreon.com/notillgrowers   Show Sponsors:  Rimol Greenhouses: https://rimol.com/   GrownBy: coop.grownby.com/notill   Good Agriculture: https://goodagriculture.com/   Tilth Soil!: https://www.tilthsoil.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorYMGkYzMqYdJ8KDqTdMFUg5tw3lx_OSMBZPP6phSXpFhBIyUkT     MY BOOK!   The Living Soil Handbook 📕 👉 https://www.notillgrowers.com/livingsoilhandbook   French copy of The Living Soil Handbook: https://amzn.to/4h2bYot   Italian Copy https://www.terranuovalibri.it/libro/dettaglio/jesse-frost/il-manuale-del-suolo-vivente-9788866819967-236828.html German Copy: https://www.oekom.de/buch/das-grosse-boden-handbuch-9783987261374     Other stuff and ways to support stuff like this 👇 5% off Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizers and More (offer Code: NOTILL) 👀: https://store.turbify.com/cgi-bin/clink?yhst-20803342241356+tt4W2F+shop.html+NOTILL🚨    ORDER Dan Brisebois' Seed Book! 👉 https://www.notillgrowers.com/livingsoilhandbook   The Living Soil Handbook 📕 👉 https://www.notillgrowers.com/livingsoilhandbook   Hats 🧢 👉 https://www.notillgrowers.com/livingsoilhandbook   Forum 💬 👉 https://notillgrowers.community.chat   Music 🎵 👉 via www.empidemicsound.com   👕 MERCH 👉 https://www.notillgrowers.com/livingsoilhandbook    Support our work (👊) at www.notillgrowers.com/support or www.Patreon.com/notillgrowers   freelance sound editor: www.sellassoundworks.com
