Gubba Homestead Podcast

Garlic is more powerful than most people think.I use garlic across my homestead in ways that go against almost everything mainstream pet care, gardening advice, and livestock guidance recommend. I feed it to my dogs in measured amounts during tick season, spray it on my berries, ferment it in raw honey, and recently cleared mastitis in one of my goats in three days without antibiotics.This episode covers the dog dosage chart by weight, the garlic spray ratio for gardens, the honey ferment process step by step, a goat recovery story, the Amish homesteading family who surprised me by recommending harsh chemical fertilizer, and how to plant, cure, and replant garlic year after year.There is a reason this knowledge faded out of common use, and it has less to do with safety than with what can and cannot be patented and sold back to you. One example: the warning that garlic is toxic to dogs traces back to one study most pet owners have never actually opened.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:58] Why garlic knowledge faded from homesteads and kitchens[06:44] The dog garlic study most people misquote[09:33] Garlic dosage for dogs by weight and tick season timing[12:32] How garlic cleared mastitis in my goat in three days[18:05] Homemade garlic spray recipe for gardens and chicken coops[22:46] How to make honey-fermented garlic at home[25:24] Using garlic steam for respiratory support indoors[29:50] How to plant, harvest, and cure your own garlicRelated Gubba Homestead Episodes:The Truth About Pet Food: Why (And How) I Feed My Pets RawNatural Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs: The Terrain Approach Without Toxic PesticidesFind more from Gubba:Gubba Homestead | XGubba Homestead | FacebookGubba Homestead | InstagramGubba Homestead | PinterestGubba Homestead | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop
