PLEASE show us the Community Extension Projects. We would LOVE to see how everyone else is doing. From the beginner to the expert PLEASE show us. Thank you.
Always! Keep going. Never tire of seeing this site. I especially like these wandering, more informal, videos. They're like mental yoga for the permaculture mind.
Made me cry. People with so little, making the most of a hostile environment. No lawns was an eye opener. So much of what we think we need, or should have,is really of little consequence. We need sustenance, food for the body and the lovely little flowers for the soul. To say, great work is an understatement.
Great to see that Geoff can again visit the site and of course changes there over last two years! Just as a humble request: would it be possible to create a 'technical' video about the inputs (e.g. water, human labour, overall time span/schedule and external other resources) and outputs? Maybe in the context of local average living standards? It seems to me that such analysis would be very useful to convince people who are considering of making the decision to start changing their lives.
LEASE show us the Community Extension Projects. We would LOVE to see how everyone else is doing. From the beginner to the expert PLEASE show us. Thank you.
Inputs and Outputs: yes this is what I am curious about when I asked about water in particular. Just how "do-able" would this be for the average person?
He is! By teaching us through his classes and books, sharing videos, and offering the information to everyone! It’s up to each of us to pick up the thread and go with it, then it becomes planet wide!! I already have been doing some of what Geoff talks about like composting, carrying on from my mother and her father. I also mow around the flowers as much as possible, nurture and harvest the “weeds” such as plantain, dandelion, lambs quarters, amaranth etc Just that little bit can make a big difference.
Amazing! This is what it is going to take to reclaim the land, one small plot at a time. Encouraging to watch. Great video that inspires even the skeptic in all of us.
To be honest with you, I would have missed the true beauty of the garden ( which you have worked very hard on, and for a very long time ,) had you not zeroed in on the DETAILS !!! I think this is essential to showing what you have done in a way that people can appreciate your excellence . Thank you. God bless you and work, Geoff L:awton and everyone working with you !!
We love videos like this, Geoff! I garden on a Causse (limestone plateau, for those who don't know) in the south of France. The soil is shallow, rocky and dry, so I am very inspired by watching the results of your work and that of your community in the desert. Thank you very much!
That garden must be so much cooler than any of the surrounding "gardens". A true oasis in the desert. I love hearing the pride in your voice and you have so much to be proud of. It's fantastic Geoff.
Be nice if someday soon the neighbors followed suit. It's so restful and peaceful there. You'd have no idea by looking that you were in a desert. It looks lush like Mediterranean France. They could sell some of that rank groundcover plants to their neighbors. Wonderful job. Congrats and kudos to all involved!
'Rank groundcover'! It looks nice to me :) I recall from one of his earlier Greening the Desert videos that a neighbour (who may have gotten involved on Geoff's site, I think) across the road did indeed use the practices and knowledge to start the process on their own property.
@@danyoutube7491 Your taking rank out of context, there are several meanings to the word rank and as this particular use refers to 'a profound abundance'.
@@b_uppy What does your mean, in this context? You're? Impressed by the fact that rank is actually defined as "growing too thickly or coarsely. I thought you were just using a random adjective for emphasis.
Awesome to see another video from you! Always look forward to the next one! I remember running into the first video about this site, and the whole Permaculture concept about 7 years or so ago... Amazing to see the depth of diversity in the site now!!!
Geoff, please keep walking and walking :-D This project is incredibly amazing. I pray for a big investor with world-change ambitions to find your way, to expand this project at least 100 fold. All the best!
This is what the original garden of Eden looked like in the fertile crescent before goats and sheep were domesticated. Hundreds of years of over grazing has desertified the middle east . Thanks Geoff for showing the world that a desert can become a beautiful garden again and in such a short time.
Hi Geoff, yes, please keep doing longer walkthroughs! All the sparrows and songbirds in the video made all the sparrows & NE. American songbirds start calling over here. I have a small sunny lot, less than a 1/4 acre that I’m planning on planting some kinda foodscape. Not sure what yet, besides things I like to eat.
I'm wondering about the water requirement now vs the water requirement when the project started before it was well established. And I wonder how deep is the water table
This is my question too! I don't remember the previous video details now, but someone will see this and hand-wave it away with "you can grow anything with enough water". But thats the most important part of this story, how little water they using.
I had the same question! Certainly the moisture content in the near surface soil layers are greatly improved, but is the site too small to impact the hydrology of the area? If only Jordan had beavers! Beavers do more to increase water storage in a watershed than even humans can do.
Unbeatable background "music" -- chirping birds interspersed with crowing rooster ! Really fantastic developments on this site ... incredible living example of the way we should deal with climate change challenges.
It is so nice to see this update after the large delay due to events of the last two years. I bet if is a huge temperature difference between outside the forest and inside it as well.
It’s absolutely wonderful what you’ve been able to do down there Geoff and it’s inspiring as well, my dream is to have my own permaculture farm one day. I’ve got a few chickens in the backyard - I’m in the military and in the UK currently but will return to Florida to do agroforestry and permaculture farming. You’ve inspired me over the years thank you for your great work. - still needed when so many are hopeless looking at the the brokenness of the world, we have to live the solution and teach others to believe and to work hard for something that is priceless - our Mother Earth.
That was great to see, please do it again. Do you keep bees? I come from an island in the Aegean called Lemnos, and it has scorching summers but very cold winters, it's good to see what you have achieved in such a harsh landscape, it gives me inspiration.
I remember one earlier video from that site when they had set up something called "flow hives", some commercial product honey bee hive offering easier extraction of the honey. I'm sure they still need pollinators in any case - but what kind are the native pollinators in Jordan?
INCREDIBLE results for all the Team - must be such an inspiration for other communities in Jordon. Fantastic Leadership CONGRATULATIONS. MORINGA is a wonderful natural medicine for health and wellness. 🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺🙏🏻
I don't think the dragon fruit will do very well on the Lucina tree, hopefully it will work for you, but here in Mexico, we've found that it will only grow well in mesquite family of trees. There are two reasons, one, the lucinas (huajes) have insects that eat the dragon fruit, but they also don't have the rough bark like mesquite that allows the dragon vine roots to hold on and collect moisture and nutrients.
I know Huajes very well, as My town, Huajuapan, was named for them. They grow all over our área. Their bark is very different. And dragón fruit, pitahaya, doesn't thrive in them like they do in mezquite and tehuixtle trees
Dragon fruit can be grown but it will need to be tied to the huaje tree as if it were an artificial structure in mesquite trees the aerial roots hold on to the bark.
Wooow, beautiful place! I love it! And i love to see hot places videos, because we are passing throu a quiet cold time winter here in Chile. Thank you Goeff!!
Awesome! I hope you are all making videos of the progress from the start and updating regularly. It would be really great to see what others are doing in the wake of Geoff’s inspiring works. It would also be a huge help to those of us who wish to do something but don’t know where or how to begin.

@@barnabyvonrudal1 The soil bacteria can thrive in Biochar for ages and enrich the soil from that strength because rich nutrients are absorbed by the biochar. I am not an expert by any means on this, but have picked up this amount of information on it, so those who know more are welcome to correct or add to what I have said.
Waw, Geoff you did it. Its so good to see this. Its like you performed a miracle. We have been folowing your project since the beginning and ist really nic to see your efforts come to fruition. We wish you all the best on your way and hope to meet in person one day.
So inspiring. I don't live in the desert, but nevertheless I started applying some of the permaculture principles to my tiny backyard garden by adding wood chips and the clippings from pruning to the top soil and I can see the benefits. I learned from a lecture at the Advancing Eco Agriculture channel that pests can't attack healthy plants that live in a healthy top soil that has lots of biodiversity in micro organisms, because healthy plants have the amount of sugar content that is simply too high for those pests. According to what I have learned, and observed as well, pests always eat dead material, or material that is already weak and about to die, and lacking the sugars. Micro organisms convert bio mass into plant available nutrients so that plants and trees have enough sugar content to grow healthy and strong which protects them against pests.
LEASE show us the Community Extension Projects. We would LOVE to see how everyone else is doing. From the beginner to the expert PLEASE show us. Thank you.

It’s like a dessert oasis, and birds love it. If it can be done there.. And in today’s climate of food and “medicine”, it’s a must have.
Yes please keep wandering around showing and explaining interesting things! I love this video!
Great to see how its grown. Would also love an update on the lady's next door.

Yes please do
yes please, also an update on Abla’s garden 🙏
Yes, please, would love to hear more of you walking around and talking about the site.
I second that, this was like a dream
Always! Keep going. Never tire of seeing this site. I especially like these wandering, more informal, videos. They're like mental yoga for the permaculture mind.
We kept watching, and saying that's not possible in the desert, but of course that's the point. You are working to save us. Thank you.
Happy to get a new video, Jeff
Speechless... I haven't seen any greener SOUL as you ,.. thank you for your presence in this beautiful planet and your dedication 🍀💚
