Episode #49, LEHR Garden System, Modified Aquaponics with Ed Williams

Today we meet Ed Williams, creator of the LEHR garden. LEHR is an acronym for the system he has created that includes elements of aquaponics, hugelkultur, composting, mushrooms, the soil food web and basically as many natural components as possible; he is an engineer after all!

Ed is very interesting to listen to as he describes his backyard systems, shares his engineering wisdom and talks about the backyard farm system he has created from start to finish.

Ed’s vision is for a more involved and healthy human interaction with the foods we eat, with fewer labor hours and much greater ecological and social benefit. Towards the end of the episode, he shares his calculations about carbon sequestration and his ideas for remodeling the suburban landscape norms.
