Maple Syrup Season Update GF Radio | Eric talks with Bill of Maple Knoll Farm about tapping Maple Trees for sap, making maple syrup, and how this warm winter is affecting the maple syrup season. Bill can be seen in our GF Video Make Maple Syrup here. Bill has about 150 trees tapped, using metal buckets. He and his family collect the maple sap, and boil it down in the evaporator in the family sugar shack. This warm winter weather has thrown a wrench in the usual maple syrup making process. Sap runs in sugar maple trees when the nights are cold and the days are warm. This year we've had just warm weather for the most part. In the sugar shack, Bill and his family fire up the evaporator and boil down the sugar maple sap to syrup. Its very cool process to watch. There are several maple syrup operations in our town, and we visited another one recently and made this how to make maple syrup video there. Each sugar shack is different, reflecting the interior design sense of each sap house owner.

How to find a new job, Rich Gee talks GF Radio | Wondering how to get job in this economy? You've just been downsized, and you're thinking to yourself, how do look for a job? How do I market myself? I met Rich Gee, executive and business coach, at a great diner for breakfast, and after we had eggs, hash, toast and coffee, we recorded an impromptu GF Radio show about how to look for a job. Rich gives some great suggestions on marketing yourself and how to talk about yourself in the present, not 'what you used to do'. The diner we met at, The Laurel Diner in Southbury, CT is neat. Michael Stern of RoadFood.com says: A vintage diner with terrific corned beef hash and even more terrific hash brown potatoes. Dine at the counter and watch the cooks juggle a dozen orders as breakfast perfume fills the air. When Rich and I sat down, I knew I was in a New England diner, as kielbalsa was on the menu. I had the hash special and it was good. | 2/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

[ i can attest that Sarah's hair looks great ] Yet another viewer has discovered our No Knead Bread video and No Knead Bread recipe adapted from Jim Lehman, and the viewer has some suggestions: "Now, you ought to do a video on ALL the possibilities available for the Sullivan Bread. I do a garlic/onion, onion, onion and Italian seasonings, garlic and Mediterranean seasonings, sun-dried tomato and black olive, and pepperoni and cheese besides the standard recipe. My wife wants me to try a roasted red pepper (chopped) with garlic, onion and Italian or Greek seasonings. My son is after me to try a bacon/onion and sharp cheddar cheese one. At first I had doubts if ANY of the "flavored" Sullivan breads would turn out, but they did and BETTER than the expensive bakery Artisans. Of course almost all the add-ins are dried or not refrigerated and added with the base ingredients and let rise over night. The cheese is added just prior to the two hour "rise". " We then move onto to Steven, of Tiny House Listings' photos and plan for brick pizza oven that uses no mortar or rails, you can see the photos here Love to get recipes and photos from you all. | 2/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Largemouth Bass how to fish for them by Mike GF Radio | How to fish for bass, bass behavior, and how to catch largemouth bass are the topic of Gardenfork Radio. Mike is a former tournament bass fisherman, and tells us how to find bass in a lake, and largemouth bass behavior throughout the year. Mike gives bass fishing tips and goes into largemouth bass behavior. Bass: Ice-out and spring: After ice out, the bass are still very lethargic. They are cold blooded animals. However, as the water temperatures start to rise, they begin to move and feed after a long sleepy winter. Places to look in the spring: Northern sides of lakes, ponds, and backwaters. The sun is lower in the sky, northern sides of lakes get more direct sun. This is especially true where there are large trees, hills, and other tall obstructions on the south side of the lake. Wind. In short, wind from the north is cold. It cools the surface and pushes it south. Wind from the south is warm. It warms the surface and moves it north. Shallow water warms faster than deep water. Especially when the bottom is dark. Stones. Stones on the shore will pick up heat from the sun and hold it. This is true of sea walls and bridges made of stone as well. Late spring / Early Summer: When the water gets up to around 57 - 60 degrees, Bass will start their spawn cycle. Some areas will close fishing to allow for the spawn to happen. To sustain a fishery, fish need to have a chance to reproduce. Male fish will take up residence in shallow water, typically with a harder bottom, and they will use their body to clear out a circular nest on the bottom. They will become territorial around their nest and will do their best to keep it clean. During this time, females will stage in deeper water adjacent to the nesting area. They will join the males in the shallower water, laying their eggs, and then moving back to the deeper water. Males will fertilize the eggs and stay with the nest until the fry are hatched. For a while, the male will aggressively protect the fry and will eventually leave the small fish on their own and recede into deeper water. Usually, it’s during the spawn and in the post spawn where fishing will die off some as the fish are not up to chasing food because they are spent from the spawn. Any fish caught during the spawn are usually males and it’s usually a territorial and protective strike, not one for food. Summer / Late Summer Bass move into their summer patterns after the spawn. The summer pattern really differs from lake to lake, but there are some generalities that you can work with in order to identify the patterns on your lake / pond. Oxygen is less soluable in warmer water. Backwaters that are shallow and baked by the summer sun have lower oxygen levels, so fish will avoid them. Deeper lakes (20’+ usually) will stratify over the summer. Warmer is water is less dense and it remains at the top, cold water, heavy and oxygen depleted sinks and stays at the bottom. There’s a structure known as the thermocline. It’s where the water changes temperature drastically within a foot or two. On depth finders it will show up as a line. You can feel it when swimming in a lake. The oxygen level below the thermalcline is very low and you should spend your time fishing above that line. Bass are averse to bright sunlight. If there is an area of clear water with no cover, it’s best to avoid that area. Bass relate to things. The things could be trees in the water, stumps, rocks, underwater dropoffs or other topographical changes, and weed lines. Weed lines form because plants require sunlight to live. The depth of a weed line will vary with water clarity. Muddier lakes have shallower weedlines and clearer lakes have deeper weed lines. Some times you can follow them in a boat visually. Usually a depth finder will be needed to identify the line. Once you gain experience, you will be able to do it by feel. Bass will feed in the early morning hours and at sundown, when the sun is low in the sky. | 10/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

How to Hunt Deer for Food GF Radio | How to hunt deer for the beginner, what kind of gear you need to hunt deer, where do you hunt deer? Author Jackson Landers., author of The Beginner's Guide to Hunting Deer for Food (Beginner's Guide To... (Storey)) talks with Eric about hunting deer for food. "Hunting deer is the most inexpensive, environmentally friendly way to acquire organic, grass-fed meat. Even if you’ve never held a gun before, author Jackson Landers can show you how to supplement your food supply with venison taken near your home. He addresses everything a new hunter needs to know: how to choose the correct rifle and ammunition, how to hunt effectively and safely, and what to do if something goes wrong. He includes chapters on field dressing and butchering after the kill, recipes for using the meat, and a chapter on the politics and psychology of hunting. Whether you hunt to be more self-sufficient, to eat the safest and most nutritious meat possible, to protect the environment, or to save money, this book is the perfect guide." Deer Hunting can be an emotional topic for some of us. My thinking here was to allow you all to get into the head of a hunter who is very grounded. Jackson hunts deer to put meat on the table for his family, teaches deer hunting classes, and has been featured several times in the New York Times, and has been hosted by Slow Food groups to talk about deer hunting, and how to cook venison. photo by matthew hull | 10/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Rick asks what is the right thing to do when trying to vent your crawl space and get rid of the humidity. How do they figure out where the break is in a sewer line?

How to can, dry, freeze, pickle, ferment preserve vegetables, herbs & food GF Radio | Daniel Gasteiger, author of Yes, You Can! and Freeze and Dry it too; The modern step-by-step guide to Preserving Food, joins Eric on GF radio to talk about how to can vegetables, how to freeze food and vegetables, how to dry herbs and plants, and how to ferment cabbage and more neat stuff. We talk about canning in a pressure canner and using the water bath method. Daniel doesn't think the high pressure canning is that much more involved than hot water bath method. The pressure canner has a shorter canning time, but it takes a while to get up to pressure and you have to let it cool down. We also go in to fermentation of vegetables. Daniel talks about how to ferment cabbage and other vegetables that you wouldn't normally think were fermentable, like chickpeas. I have on the to-do list of GardenFork shows and experiments, fermentation. Not just fermentation of beer, but I want to do sauerkraut, and it sounds like its very straightforward, according to Daniel.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic!
I absolutely love Eric's video podcasts, Gardenfork and Real World Green. However, the downside is that I'm often in school (high school senior) or doing homework, and can't watch the videos. I love background noise when I work, though, and this new, audio-only podcast is perfect for that. Since the first three episodes have been released, I rarely listen to an actual radio station talk show in the morning, and instead wire up my iPod to listen to Eric and Charlie talk about their bee or carpenter ant adventures. Thanks for the new medium!
Gardenfork Radio is another winner!
I love the video podcasts and thought what more could there be in an audio podcast - I was pleasantly surprised! I love hearing two good friends chat about life, work and even the video podcasts. Very entertaining - keep the good times rolling Eric and Charlie!
For when you can't watch Eric and the dogs.
Kind of continues the coversations started in the video podcasts. Surprising interesting.
