  • Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison demonstrates how your hand is a map of the basic pattern of landform found throughout most of the planet. He then explains how water travels from source to sink in a Permaculture designed landscape versus conventional civil engineering practices.
    The terminology in this video describing the landform: Main Ridge, Primary Ridge & Primary Valley was coined by P.A. Yeomans, founder of the Keyline Plan:

    Is it possible to add English subtitles to your videos? I started living in the Mediterranean region in one of the gardens that my city people destroyed with their own hands. I learned that my practices belong to permaculture. Of course, positive change was noticed in a short time. I tell them what I have learned, but they do not understand. simple and inexpensive techniques. all other vegetable gardens withered. The new tomatoes in my vegetable garden in November are lush. I had buried wood deep in the field. mushrooms appeared in the sandy soil. subsoil mycorrhiza filled up. I just decided in June. I started practicing in July. My 50 m2 trial garden is in very good condition and growing. 1450 m2 arrangement will be made. Then I want to arrange a 16-acre land. I'm showing them you. They say they don't know english. If there are English subtitles, they can read and understand with automatic translation. maybe we can start learning together. You dig a small hole in the sand-filled land, fill it with wood, branches, dry and green plants and cover it, and that area turns green. Birds, lizards, butterflies, hedgehogs and many animals come to the garden. I loved this job. very good. Thank you so much.

      There is an automatic close captioning feature that is automatic on UA-cam. Just click the CC button on the bottom right of your viewing screen and you should get semi accurate subtitles.

    • @sonayozden4814
      @sonayozden4814 Рік тому +1

      (English with automatic translation) and English together, "auto translate" appears on the screen. some videos have (american English (auto-generated) English (auto-generated). In those videos, there is automatic translation at the bottom and you watch with subtitles in around 20 languages. Maybe there is another way and I may not know. This is what I was talking about. I read the English text using cc where I don't understand. If English subtitles are added, it will be possible to read the text of speech in many world languages ​​simultaneously with the video. There are many people who do not know English and you. Change the lives of many more people like me. There is this arrangement on the Charles Dowding (no dig) channel and my neighbor is advancing with it. thank you again.

I'm also hoping to work with the Forestry Service, BLM and other agencies to use these principals that you are teaching. You have gotten me off to a good start with your teachings and mostly the way you teach..
