Introduction

Retro suburbia brings to life David Holmgren's vision of sustainable, productive, and vibrant suburbs. Over 500 pages, it shares how urban Permaculture can make meaningful use of our backyards, balconies, community networks, and shared resources. My guest for this episode is Trad Carter, a microbiologist and mycologist who, along with his wife Olga, owns and operates Mushroom Mountain near Greenville, South Carolina. In this interview we talk about his book, The Science of Microbiology and Mycology, Entrepreneurship, and also touch on the power of mushrooms for remediation.
