Erik Knutzen of the website and podcast Root Simple joins Eric to talk about toasters, straw bale gardening, grey water systems, etc. In other words, a typical eclectic DIY show from GardenFork.
Erik has been on the podcast a few times, listen as we talk about how to make furniture.
Here are links to some of the topics we talked about:
With his partner Kelly Coyne, Erik is the author of two books:

Erik and Kelly talk about whole grain bread baking on their podcast.
Erik learned about greywater systems on Oasis Designs. His system waters the avocado tree in his yard.

Great hearing the Erik and Eric podcast. I can’t wait for the Root Simple version. I already have an elaborate rain collection and drip irrigation system setup so I think my next project will have to be a grey water system.
Gardenfork really got me going on DIY living. I love doing things in the yard and am starting to do more in the house.
