このコンテンツについて

 West Cornwall’s Bosavern Community Farm podcast Twist & Sprout is a bi-monthly gem of medium to long format interviews linking community farming to health, wellness, body and mind. Join us over lunch prepared with local ingredients or out in the local fields as we dive into the small worlds of microbes in soil or take a satellite view of large global issues such as food security. Through exploring the big issues we aim to sort out small solutions and through the multiplication of these small solutions we seek positive change.themangolab.com 博物学 科学 自然・生態学 衛生・健康的な生活

    6: The Tree Episode
    2025/03/27
    What should the landscape of West Cornwall look like in the future: moorland, field or forest? How can we prepare land for an unpredictable future climate? Is the forestry practice in West Cornwall a case study for land beyond our parish borders? Our tree panel guests include Annie Surtees from the Forest for Cornwall Team, Ecologist Nick Taylor and Bosavern’s very own Tree Group volunteer leader Terry Sutcliffe. In this lively discussion hear their tips on which trees to plant where and when not to plant at all, how to get the best tree survival rates, discuss pests and diseases and share first hand experience of cardboard vs plastic tree guards. Included in the discussion is exploring Bosavern’s own programme of shelterbelt planting, their community woodland, nature trail and tree nursery and advice on expert consultation and financial support which can be available for those wanting to enlist in a growing effort to broaden the nature network to maximise biodiversity.

  • 5: From Field to Fork

    5: From Field to Fork
    2024/11/21
    In Episode 5 we dig-in to the topic of veg from field to fork, without digging! Hugh Taylor, Head Grower, shares some tips on growing food, his favourite book references and some favourite seasonal recipes. We go bounding through the whys and wherefores of a Market Garden; becoming familiar with no dig tools, understanding the methods and the many benefits of minimal tillage, composting and basic crop rotations. We are joined by community volunteer Rebecca who has been attending the farm for 2-3 years and enjoys both the social connections and the learning gained from Hugh ‘muck-spreading his knowledge’. Her natural curiosity shines a light on Hugh’s drive, his stoic perspective and his unwavering enthusiasm for seasonal, sustainable veg. Together we reflect upon the importance of diversity, connection and balance in farming with nature and cultivating hope as well as food and habitats.

    Moving from the field to the fork, we step into the cosy, wholesome vibes of the Dog & Rabbit café in St Just to hear from their owner and menu architect, We celebrate the popularity of the all-year-round salads from Bosavern and Rosie articulates the art of creating a menu tailored to the produce available in each season, how this affects pricing and why their ethos of seasonal, sustainable food, community connections and a great ambience, really matter. Rosie emphasises how she is inspired by Bosavern and by those people we meet in life who are always reaching out to make new, positive changes. ‘Keep on going… not giving up…’ those who are always looking to make positive changes, and we hear about a Falmouth based enterprise shipping coffee sustainably to Cornwall via sailboat. We observe the beauty of small, diverse, alliances; the nimble flexibility this allows, the personal contacts and how one organisation’s constant drive for increased sustainability inspires and bolsters others.

  • 4: Go Wild: Planting Wildflowers to Encourage Biodiversity with Ash Pearson

    4: Go Wild: Planting Wildflowers to Encourage Biodiversity with Ash Pearson
    2024/08/07
    We meet the National Trust's Ash Pearson on a field overlooking the cove of Cape Cornwall. We have come here to see how the collaboration with Nick Hall and his Wildflower Project are being used. We move from the residential application as we learned in the episode with Nick and see it applied on a grand scale, in this case along the South West Coast Path. Ash takes us through a tired and overgrown paddock along the trail to show us how the "plugs" Nick supplies along with other applications the National Trust are using are revitalising the area and attracting and feeding an increasing amount and variety of insects and butterflies.

    Ash reflects on the unique relationship and networks that can be formed between grassroots businesses and larger organisations to solve very local needs and challenges - The Wildflower Project being a case in point. Like Nick, they both share in caretaking of the land in such a manner that providing the best quality nutrition in the native plants they choose provide the number and variety in order support the local biodiversity.
