Episode 031: We Need More Tourniquets

Sometimes we work on projects on the podcast where you don’t necessarily see the end result or finished product by the end of the episode. This could be something like the three-acre pasture project where improving the quality of forage and native grasses is a very slow process, and we only see real progress and success (or failure) over the course of many years. Or maybe it’s a cheese that we've made at home that then has to be aged for up to a year before we can sample it and taste the results of our labor. Other times we may only complete one stage of a larger project, but you may be interested in finding out how the bigger picture came together. Still other times, especially with things I do frequently, my method for doing those things may evolve over time as I learn and become more efficient. In this episode, we begin to take a look back at several of our earlier projects. We discuss how they turned out, lessons learned, and changes to my methods and recommendations. Specifically, this episode is a follow-up to the following topics from previous episodes.
