Stone Beach Permaculture broadcast: Ep 4 Monica Wilde


I had a fantastic and beyond informative interview with Monica Wilde - she is a researcher and forager in Scotland. Not only did she grace us with talking about the natural diet of humanoid species and how that affects us today, but her information on foraging is unmatched to anything I ever heard thus far.
Her main tools of the trade are a simple pen knife as to separate the plant from its roots - as to preserve the plant and to keep the area of the forest biologically diverse as you will not take away from the woods as you would if you have taken the whole plant.
And also what too look for in your foraging books- and what information to ignore. I can not stress enough how important this is, as miss information is too risky when identifying plants and mushrooms
Here are some links to some tools and books you may be interested in if you ever get the itch to discover the wild food around you.
