George Wiseman is the founder and president of Eagle-Research, a non-profit organization that develops and distributes energy-saving solutions. He is multi-talented and multi-degreed, but singular in his mission: to promote self-sufficiency at the individual level by discovering and sharing the best, all-around, practical solutions. George attributes his self-reliance, resourcefulness and commitment to our natural environment, to his rural roots. “Dad didn’t believe in having any equipment on the place (hobby farms in Montana, Oregon, Alaska and finally a ranch in British Columbia) that we couldn’t fix ourselves. We had running water if we ran and got it. And electricity was something that came in batteries”. His farm grown, western cowboy philosophy combines well with his inventor persona to create a world-class visionary. He takes the hand-up rather than the hand-out approach to everything.

Many are plants grown for edible parts that don't require sun to produce flowers and fruit, such as leafy greens and root crops. Which ones will you be growing in your garden?

Eating a variety of vegetables is generally good for overall health, and there are some vegetables that may have specific benefits for brain health. Here are 6 vegetables that are thought to have brain-boosting properties: Leafy greens: Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli are rich in nutrients like folate and antioxidants, which may help improve cognitive function and protect against age-related cognitive decline. Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Bell peppers: Bell peppers are high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that may help protect against cognitive decline as well. Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy brain function. Pumpkin seeds: Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, a mineral that is important for cognitive function. Zinc helps with the formation of new brain cells and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Beets: Beets are high in nitrates, which have been shown to improve blood flow to the brain and may help improve cognitive function. Which ones will you be growing in your garden this year?

In this video Kevin showcases how he is growing black soldier fly larvae and using scraps from his compost to convert it into animal feed for the black soldier flies. This allows them to grow, become high protein, high fat, and high calcium feed for his laying hens.
