Sharing this rather sweeping interview with our friend Alex Marcoulides for his Youtube channel called Green Revolution. Alex stopped by Fields Without Fences for a broad conversation with us about forest gardening, permaculture, successionally managed farm ecosystems, and elderberries, and we go pretty damn deep. This interview is from last season (2017), and listening back to it, I am completely impressed with Alex's ability to listen, synthesize, and offer careful reflection at a nearly rapid fire pace!  Alex's energy is purely electric and plugged in. If I (Lindsay) on the other hand appear somewhat slow on the uptake, it is merely symptomatic of the fact that I learned I would be participating in the this interview approximately 10 minutes before it commenced at the end of a hot summer's day... I promise more animation next time!
