Traditional Landscape Design vs Permaculture Landscape Design
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- A young family wants to make a change and asked two different landscape design teams to design their landscape for healthy fruits and vegetables, nuts and eggs. The two companies create designs and got back with the couple. The video shows the results and below you can easily see the connections and benefits the permaculture design took into the family’s consideration.
Where the traditional design does meet the family’s needs, the permaculture design take a practical look at the landscape, the couple’s desires, and joins them together with harmonious interaction. Here are some of the connections:
Chicken house:
At a spot in the property where it will eventually leach nutrients down slope into the landscape.
Captures it’s own water.
Deep bedding method so the whole thing is a egg making compost generator.
Greenhouse A:
Grow food all year.
Doubles as a plant nursery.
Greenhouse B:
Heats and cools home by providing a buffer zone and convection.
Cleanses grey water.
Grows nutrient dense tropical food plants because it has a microclimate that can do that.
Adds additional living space to the home.
Orchard / Food forest:
Captures it’s own water by designing it with the slope of the landscape.
Fertilized by both chicken system and support species.
Ecosystem design to maximum yield.
Once established it is almost a zero work system.
Wilfdlife habitat.
Nature area for a sense of well being.
Real long term low maintenance food security
Garden and crops:
You garden more efficiently when you have to walk through the garden to get into the house.
Utilizes keyhole gardens with one entry/rotation point instead of rectangular garden that needs to be worked from the outside perimeter.
The darker green areas are support species that are filled with nitrogen and nutrient accumulating species as well as pollinator attractors and beneficial predatory insect attractors to aid in suppressing pests and to create wildlife habitat with an ecosystem rather than monoculture.
Vegetables washing station near home entry to maximize work efficiency that also uses the wash water to keep worm farm moist. The culling of leaves and plants from the garden go into the worm farm to feed the worms. The worm farm has a drain at the bottom so they can harvest the worm juice after each wash.
Water tanks:
Catches drinkable and irrigation water from the roof.
Pumped out with a solar powered pump.
Irrigates garden with simple low tech, low cost, efficient system.
Chicken system:
Creates low work natural fertilizer.
De-pests growing areas
De-weeds growing areas
Feeds chickens
Compost area:
Along with the chicken house it serves as a organic nutrient cycling area.
Gives quicker compost for garden needs
Feeds chickens
Store:
The city ordinances allow having a store/stand of some types to sell directly to the public.
Parking area captures run off water for food forest
Community is established with sales
Money is made
Community area:
Comfortable outside living space
outdoor cooking area
A visually and aesthetically pleasing area for the family and visitors
Meeting area
As you can see there are a lot of connections made in a permaculture design that will benefit this family, the soil, wildlife, and the environment. And this example could be used for a standard suburban lot up to around an acre or so of land. But it does not stop there. A baby boomer couple has now called upon a conventional agriculture consultant and a permaculture consultant to design their farm. This should be a show down of exciting designs and the results should be in soon.
If possible, please make more videos like this? Drawing out potential architecture ideas. I like it a lot. Helps you to put it all into perspective.
you know i love the small scale stuff, im doing the same thing for the same reasons. on a side note, i made ya'll a featured channel on my site, and im doing a shout out vid for Nicholas. Appreciate all the swag you sent.
Oh cool! Thanks for doing that. Have appreciated you since the beginning. Shout it out! :-) ~ Nicholas
I don't appreciate the fear promoting reasons for homesteading...I feel like I can't promote permaculture to people without them getting turned off by this as well. Permaculture is about not only attempting to feed one self, but the next human generations, and be ecological...giving back to nature and promoting diversity. Yet all people see is don't trust any of the commercial food. Otherwise Design, the point of the video, well done! Thank you.
I think what it comes down to is those that think our food chain is healthy are really intimidated by the idea of having alternative living because they aren't willing to put in the work. It's easier to go to the market and buy a bag of salad mix than to cut up the lettuce themselves and even harder to master growing it then picking it and cutting it up. It's easier to say GMO is ok or that our meat is coming from a good source than to change habits. We are a lazy society, and a naïve as well.
In some cases it's because people are lazy. But we all know that people need to work multiple jobs and more hours a week than in modern history. So it's hard to just say it's laziness when we know how over worked society is.
Everyone has different views on how they want to live their lives. What's fits for one person doesn't necessarily mean it works for another.
I buy salad mix because I can't grow em in my temperature 😅
GMOs CAN be okay. No always, but even then the problems mostly stem from things other than the food itself, like crops that encourage the use of pestasides. Calling all GMOs "toxic" is just plain wrong. When used correctly, they can be a good tool to fight hunger and environmental damage. Pretending that this isn't an incredibly nuanced topic is just going to make the types of people you're describing think we're crazy conspiracy theorists or something and slow the spread of actual solutions. Please stop unfairly vilifing GMOs
So let me get this straight... "they watched a series of documentaries" and now they know that their health problems are caused by GMO's and pesticides and "toxins and poisons" in their food. Gotcha. Watching a series of documentaries = medical and nutritional expertise. Interesting conclusion.
Let's completely disregard all possible confounding factors (genetics, sedentarism, just a plain bad diet, possible underlying medical conditions, stress...) and blame "GMOs, toxins and poisons". Add a pinch of appeal to vulnerability by making this couple pregnant and voila! You've got a case!
You remind me to the same type of people that think that vaccines give autism and masks are a conspiracy. These types of arguments give very bad rep to all possible legitimacy that Permaculture can have, and the great possibilities that can bring to self-reliance, a better diet and an improved soil health. What a shame.
Who hurt you
@@TheAnonymousBen Pseudoscience and feel-good BS theories. And that's a shame, because 90% of the video is actually valuable content.
"Utilize their chickeness..." made my day haha
In portuguese: Utilize suas galinhezas.
Some ideas are clearly great, like a second greenhouse attached to the house or having the orchard/food forest positioned at the lower part of the estate, but I am not sold on all the details. How practical are the the round raised beds? They look fancy on the plan, but I'm not sure it's completely necessary. Also, I don't think it's a good idea to make the path to the house longer than it should be, you and the guests are more likely to cut it short and go where you "shouldn't" just to get to the home quicker. That always happens to fancy paths which are long winded, they are good for relaxing walks, but not great when you are in a rush to get from A to B.
All good things to consider. Check out my update of this video with a lot more added in one of my newer videos called "introduction to permaculture gardening"
The round "keyhole" beds are super efficient in terms of path space. I agree with you that the path from the driveway to the front door is a bit long. I would cut it's length by about two thirds, and put it in a simple curve that feels "logical". I would also add one or two flowering trees or bushes in that area, to make it more enjoyable and add some shade. Around the chicken pen, I would add easily harvestable, fast-growing organic matter plants to throw in, making it a straw pen. I would add a deciduous perennial on the sunward side of the greenhouse connected to the house, to give it shade during the time of year when extra heating is not desirable. Since there is little space to put this plant, in this design, I would opt for something like jerusalem artichokes, or maybe giant knotweed.
Maybe not the knotweed. They are very hard to get rid of once placed. Worse then mint!
Its just an example to give people potential ideas. Different gardeners / clients will prefer different length paths.
GMOs don't cause negative health effects! The USA has the lowest food standards of any developed nation, perhaps this is where the confusion comes from.
Please don't go into the world of conspiracy. Permaculture is amazing and lifechanging if someone pursues it. But I don't want us to be compared to Alex Jones types.
It can be very easy for well-meaning individuals to be misled down the path of pseudoscience, especially when misinformation is mixed in alongside actual good advice. We have to constantly work to educate each other and ourselves so that we have the tools to make evidence-based decisions. People in the US have a vague idea that common market produce isn't as good as homegrown or locally-grown, and without the proper scientific background that makes them susceptible to fear of scary-sounding acronyms like "GMO". Meanwhile, people in the EU (where food standards are better) may have an easier time understanding that genetic modification is just one more tool in the horticulture toolbox.
Nice design but I’m sure the family won’t enjoy always walking around the garden to get inside, especially when it’s raining. There should be a strait path from the car to front door in addition to the garden path.
The point is that they would have to walk in the garden more, encouraging the people to engage more with there garden.
The whole point is submitting yourself to nature, not the other way around.
I doubt any landscape designer would design that way. I can understand you tried to create an extreme comparison, but you can still compare without being misleading. I'm a permaculture designer myself by the way.
I would love to become a permaculture designer as well. What are the necessary steps?
@@deyjakyles1345 Enrol in a permaculture design course
@@deyjakyles1345 10:50 He told you how to do it in the video. Take a permaculture design course.
This is amazing content and I believe permaculture is the future, however, I'd like to add that there is absolutely not one shred of peer reviewed scientific literature from any reliable source that claims that GMOs are harmful in any way, especially not toxic or poisonous. The truth is that GMOs are highly controlled and face strict regulations.
If you do want to discredit or argue against GMOs, do so from a financial or intellectual property angle as it is problematic for companies to patent genetic information for obvious reasons. The majority of GMO criticisms are founded in scientific skepticism, anti intellectualism or blatant misinformation, often caused by mistrust, much like the anti-vax movement.
It is incredibly helpful to see the two examples side by side like this! I have no knowledge at all in this area, but I do wish I could transform my garden more towards permaculture.
Love it ❤️
GMOs are not really the problem, but the chemicals you need to put in food in a mass-producing economy.
The science behind GMOs is brutal, but it truly is not an issue for medical reasons, but economic (monopolization of seeds) and ecological displacement.
Loved the video, I am rehabilitating dead lawn in order to create a permaculturing system. Loved the inspiration. Thank you!
Depends on the what the GMO change is. There is GMO rice (Golden rice) which adds beta-carotene to it for vitamin A production. There is also rice which has been engineered to use the C4 photosynthesis path (vs the ancient C2) which is more efficient and hence creates higher yields for the same input. This includes small farmers. This has been a government and university run project. Ditto with rice more resistant to salt and drought. If all were combined it would be a great boom for the like of African farmers. In fact many of them are calling out for GMO rice.
Not all GMO is used to only be beneficial to seed companies. It depends what the change is. And with GMO the change is very specific, for a very specific trait
Besides, many farmers already buy hybrid seeds for the 'hybrid vigour' . Unfortunately the subsequent yield from the resulting seed doesn't share the same vigour. Hence they buy seed again the year after. It's more cost effective.
That said, it all depends on your method of production and what sort of inputs you are wanting to put into your crops.
GMOs are a huge part of the problem.
GMO foods 'not an issue for medical reasons'?? incorrect. what about the GMO potatoes that lab animals starved to death eating? I agree a bigger problem is ecological displacement and loss of biodiversity, and frankly all the chemicals killing microbes that deliver nutrients to the crops are most deleterious for most people right now, but it's wrong to say there is no medical issue of GMO crops when we really have very little idea of nutrition differences of long term effects at this point. i would say negative and unknown medical issues are yet ANOTHER reason not to let GMO crops displace biodiverse polyculture forests and human created food systems
I suggest you look into Zach bush and organic no till farming
Thank you for saying this! Feels so rare these days to come across logically minded, educated people.
"I hope those chickens don't die from sheer loneliness"
Haha
But you have your food growing right next to a road, over which cars will spew carbon monoxide -- that is a drawback
"utilizing its chickenness" lol
Øyðrík Filip Jørðvål you beat me to the comment 🤣
I chortled at that
“Chickenness” is amazing, btw. Less 🐌 & slugs, less chewed up plants, I love how they graze.
It's from joel salitin
This video is wildly underrated. I personally wouldn’t force the clients to walk half their gardens just to get in their house 😆 but I appreciate the philosophy behind this idea.
I think the permaculture plan looks better because you used colored pencils… Just kidding… it’s an obvious choice especially considering the traditional landscape company, if they can even come up with a “traditional” design like that, … All void space will be lawn.
Would love to see something similar on a 1/4 acre or 10,000 square feet which is a more normal suburban house lot.
Hard Level: With an HOA
Clearly there is no understanding of what landscape design is. The plan you show as permaculture design is what landscape architects do.
Absolutely nailed it mate. I'm in the process of learning my land and design atm.
4.3ac, food forrest, livestock, farm stay and hopefully, one day and permaculture farm school.
good video thanks
I need to learn more about this! This is so cool!
Two companies? The handwriting is identical on both. The plans were clearly created by the same person. Why tell stories?
It's called being a huckster
Absolute wrong relation of locations of trees towards the greenhouses in relation to the Sun. Come on!!
The greenhouses are at higher elevations than the trees. They won't block sunlight, hopefully.
Given how close together those trees were in the drawing, they'd have to be dwarf trees and shrubs, too.
Sweet! Thank you for showing the drastic contrast between regenerative Permaculture and why the mess that society struggles and suffers with is actually simply degenerative design, a systemic invitation to addiction to inputs, labor and futility. It really helps me. After studying, practicing and designing Permaculture since 2001, I am still a beginner in so many ways, on a practical level. This solidifies my ideas, and inspires me to go for it here on the quarter-acre I'm designing now. Aloha, Maui Permaculture Network (MPN) -- Claire
I have had a bit of a difficult time finding a beginner's overview drawing of a permaculture design. I have a dream of creating one myself with an Earthship kind of home and am sitting down to draw and paint my fantasy home now! This is a sweet video!
lol ......Chickeness!!!
This is Perfect.....Exactly what I want to do for our home. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Cool ideas. I do think the young couple with the baby should be able to run into their house without having to take a stroll through the garden, especially when they have health issues and allergies. And the chickens could come a little farther from the sidewalk where they are likely to either get loose or face complaints from the neighbors.
Maybe they enter thru garage
I would like to find out where can I find one of these guys for hire
How much did you pay for the permaculture design plan? Can you send me a link to the company?
Please provide a list of p. designers in VIC Australia.
Why aren't you looking for yourselves?
I have read many comments about how GMOs are not that bad. However, in practice the vast majority of GMO plants are modified to survive chemical farming methods. So, the plant itself is not toxic. But, it allows cultural practices that produce food contaminated with industrial chemicals. Roundup ready soybeans, for example.
alex riddles GMOs are fake food fake plants messing with Gods creations to heal our bodies. Monsanto kills
You are correct. I am a plant scientist and GMO technology is great, but unfortunately it is sometimes used in conjunction with pesticides and Monsanto, but this is not true for all GMOS. GMO foods are not bad: monocultures, pesticides, industrial agricultural practices are bad. Many GMOs are able to help plants adapt to changing climates or have micronutrients and improve nutrition. In many parts of the world, GMOs can save lives. It makes me so angry when people are anti GMO but have no idea what they are actually against. GMOs are not the problem, they are just frequently referenced with all the other things that are bad about modern agricultural practices.
Lena Hunt GMOs are fake food.
alex riddles GMO are garbage!
There is no place for GMOs in permaculture or healthy home gardening. The process is unnecessary, unnatural and unhealthy. It's an insult to God; the same as telling God that what He gave us isn't good enough. I'll stick with our God-given heirlooms and organics, thank you very much.
That"traditional landscape design" drawing is a joke, no person that has gone to school for landscape architecture or landscape design is going to do such crap. When you showed the difference in the graphic quality of the drawings and the poor design in the first drawing i just stopped the video, this is not a fair comparison at all.
Thanks for sharing this great example of how to practice Permaculture! So effective teaching video! Thank you!
x2 speed ur welcome
Love how much edge is created by the round beds and windy paths.
I'm assuming the rows of trees range in sizes / species in descending height as you travel down the slope, with the tallest being nearest the house.
I just love the path and circles design. This will fit just right here :)
I have chicken and ducks that could help with pests control and fertilizing, but how do you deal with predators if leaving them free roaming? We have foxes that came in day light to get young chicks and rabbits… any ideas?
Yes. Most predation but not happen at night. The chicken tractor is their nightly protection. So they get put up in the night. The poultry netting stays on to help deter predators by shocking them.
clearly, there was more work put in one plan than the other. Sad.
To me, the chickens are a a little too close to a public area (the sidewalk, where they could become a source for complaints from commuters walking by) and would probably do better closer to the green house. that is one of the issues to consider in an urban environment. My current goals are to build a food garden which is both year around and as esthetically pleasing as possible. I know some complaints were made initially with my first efforts and my landlord brushed it off with the comment that the duplex "looked lived in." However, I am working on addressing that. I was pleased when the landlord and tenant next door left me use part of his land for growing tomatoes and Seminole Pumpkins this year. The varigation in the leaves of the Pumpkins improved the appearance from the street of that part of my garden.
The back yard is the lower area of the small yard and partially belongs to the landlord next over. Right now i have a trellis back there and grow what I do in grow backs near the fence. Otherwise I'm just letting what was bare clay land gain topsoil through nature's way as the pine trees above and dead plants from my garden with some weed cover rot on top. I've decided to do the same with similar soil up in the front yard and already had started with Sweet Potato and watermelon plants grown in a plastic tub and fallout from both pines and oaks. Those areas are where I plan on planting a little more along permacultural lines with plants which are edible, will blend together well in their niches and look pleasing with little or no care. I'm thinking in the long term here.
Yes, that was one of our considerations as well. It may have been useful to give a layout of the surrounding property. The chicken coop side is not near the public or neighbors. The sidewalk is hardly ever used for public access.
Sorry you are having issues with your installation. Sounds like your neighbors and landlord are on your side. That is good.
Randomly found u while searching landscaping renders.. you just changed my approach. My architect company is now mad at me….
I am curious I know this may sound kind of rude, but I am want to know what else do you feed the chickens outside of the insects? From my understanding, chickens can’t get all their nutritional needs just from insects. So you get some store to supplement their diet or is there some other elements of your farm? You can feed themtoo fill in their diet. Or am I just off the mark?
Thanks for sharing this story... very inspiring... It starts with awareness and intent.. and through progressive steps, we create sustainable abundance...
I know this video is about permaculture, but as Landscape Architect theres couple of points i believe didn’t look right.
A.) there’s no proper boundary (green buffer)between the road and private property, the storage shed is just beside the road and far from the garden.
B.) there’s no separate path that leads directly to the house. The driveway entry is the only access point to the property.
C.)Overall shape, form and circulation.
You stated a lot of good points, cost efficient and practical solutions. 👍 just pointing out some points that might help in future. Cheers! 🍻
In response to the first minute...
Fuck GMOs. Sorry if the language bothers anyone. I almost never cuss, but when it comes to GMOs, nothing else captures how I feel. My body aches when I'm in the US, but I feel great when I go to a non "western" country. I can't live here. GMOs are death.
Edit - now that I've watched the whole thing... Brilliant! I love it. Question : would the food surplus store produce enough to hire a helper? I ask because, I don't think most people are going to take that on as a second job. It needs to be economical.
is the winter and summer sun path the opposite direction for the southern hemisphere? im in Western Australia and I’ve always noticed my North facing bedroom window gets direct sunlight in winter and none in summer.
Permaculture is a great way to promote sustainable agriculture, but genetic modification of plants has nothing to do with toxicity of produce. Maize, wheat, citrus, and most of the edible cultivars we know and love are the product of the same genetic selection by humans. Permaculture landscape design is a wonderful endeavor, but we have to make sure we don't mix up real environmental science with pseudoscientific claims about genetic modification and unnamed "toxins".
I am looking for a good certificate program for landscape design do you have any recommendations?
I see what you're trying to achieve with the comparison but it's too simplistic and unrealistic. Your example family are a working couple with jobs and kids - how are they going to set this all up and maintain it? We practice permaculture and work as gardeners so we know what's involved. We're trying to find a solution which balances conventional and permaculture design that we can implement for urban gardens.
Only thing you didn’t do is burn the lame traditional plan ...lol love the permaculture 🙏🏼🤦🏽♂️
Just joined and signed up for a beginners course. Aiming to do the PDC soon as I’m ready 👍🏼🫶🏻
Hello! How much does a plan costs? I have something like 130-150 square metres yard and want to use it to the fullest.
Came for information on how to start doing permaculture on my property, and you lost me in the first minute with the anti-science misinformation.
Hello just want to ask what plants can be used as Support species? And what material for the access pathways? Thanks!
😁exactly how do "we" bring those chickens back at night to their coop? Just wondering...
Isn't the orchard gonna block out the southern sun? And there's no wind break from the eastern winds?.
I liked it until I had to interact with people at a store I suddenly own. 😂
Just kidding I loved this video
lol @ your comments on gmos lol i make my own gmos and they're fine, its probably the glyphosate
amazing plan. I have been following homesteaders on UA-cam for about a yr or so. this is the first plan i have seen that would work for me
That first design could be significantly better not just a tab bit lol
Sheer genius. It’s almost too efficient.
How large was the plot?
Can we hire you to develop this system for our future homestead in Texas? 🙏🏼😁
Cool method I can see my self making this design at my backyard
what company did the family contact for a consultaion or design?
permaculture company bought the big crayon box
Really clever, now we need a design consciousness for making it aesthetically beautiful.
Instead of electrical irrigation hoses, I really recommend you look into earthen jug irrigation!! Requires no electricity or lining whatsoever, you only fill unglazed earthen jugs with water, place them slightly into the ground, and then wait as osmosis will extract the water when it's dry... This is a technique that has been used by many cultures for a very very long time. So much kinder to Mother Earth 🙏💗🌸🌷🌿
And thank you for this amazing video, though I've loved permaculture for such a long time, there is always more to learn and I've learned so much from this video. Thank you!
Hi, i am very interesting with permaculture. Nice...
This is incredible. Where do you find a person that designs like this in my area.
Tina Salas try googling permaculture designer or consultant in your area
You can also give us a call, we design lots of jobs off site.
What would the initial cost be of such a setup though? including planting fruit trees, irrigation, solar power and structures. I really like the concept though, it's like LEAN Farming.
Really lovely design! Thank you for sharing it. If I may ask, when creating a similar design, should one account for the trees blocking the sun?
Also wouldn't green house A block out sun and create a shadow behind it, especially in the summer when it is covered with a shade cloth?
yes to both. you'd be surprised how many plants can grow really well under shade
Not enought space for chikens laying "too" many eggs that they will need to sell them. The less chicken the better. More than 3/4 is too much for that garden.
Awesome video. Hope you can get a sponsor so that you can make content that reaches more people then your in person school... Maybe it could cover prerequisite knowledge ahead of in person school?
How does an organization, being us, go about that?
Ahh yes. You must utilize the chickenness.
I've tried to find a good available and willing p.designer but still have not found such a person.
Help?
Have you thought about learning yourself? it is not very hard and everyone can learn, its a concept made so that everyone can learn to adopt it. Search up Geoff Lawton's urban permaculture video (and the rest of his channel), Bill Morrison's book "Permaculture design manual", there are some free videos done by Utah university with an entire permaculture design course up on youtube, and another book I can recommend is Gaia's Garden.
This design has not been implemented I take it, so its all conjecture.
Build it and assess it over say 5 to ten years.
Then do a video.
Search up "1/4th of an acre food forest" and Geoff Lawton's "urban permaculture", and the "Greening the Desert II" up on youtube. Systems like this arent conjectures and are many times more productive than standard designs. Get out of your bubble!
excellent video. thank you
Inspirational and very informative. thank you!
Have you ever used a deep mulch system with the chickens?
That story is terrible, if these people needed to watch documentaries to get healthier they need serious help. And they're having a baby?! I hope that kid is okay with parents like that. Overall the design looks nice.
2nd page looks like the Wu sign
It’s beautiful I’m building it.
chickens die from loneliness?
How many acre is the minimum requirement of this concept?
There is no minimum space. You can practice permaculture anywhere. But in terms of making an actual plan, I've seen some videos of a family feeding on 1/4th of an acre. Search up Geoff Lawton's "urban permaculture" video and look around for Bill Morrison's "Permaculture design course" book. You will be charmed at what you find
Love that design. I see a lot if permaculture videos utilizing the slope. Is permaculture as effective for flat land?
Sure. You work with what you have, and slope is only one design element. If you're starting with flat land and want to add some height, you can add elements such as herb spirals or hugelkultur raised beds.
I'm curious how many acres this is? Whether it's in the city or outside the city limits? We live on 1 acre just outside the city limits. We have a dog and cat that run around and would frankly ruin our garden if we did something like this (pooping and such). Also, we have a bamboo infestation on the west side...I know that can be problematic as well. Not trying to make excuses, just wondering how someone with these types of dilemmas can still make this work?
I have far, far less space than you and 3 cats and a dog. Their poop is annoying! You can net beds until seedlings are big enough so they won't be destroyed, and mulching beds helps put them off going in them. Leave some muddy areas where the cat can dig to go, mulch and net the beds and that keeps it poop free.
Oh, use polytunnels and keep the animals out.
Always wear gloves when hands are in the soil in case poop is there.
But one cat and one dog on one acre? They can't do THAT much damage.
The bamboo...Guess that's down to hard work or paying someone else to do the hard work. Cut it and cover it all with black, damp course plastic to kill it? I dunno, but the longer you do nothing, the worse it will get. Maybe just start on sections so it's not so overwhelming?
Bamboo is a bastard. I believe the only way to combat it without chemicals is with good old fashioned elbow grease. Cut it down, dig out the roots as best you can, and then keep an eye out for shoots.
Search up Geoff Lawton's "urban permaculture" video. You can also use your animals to your advantage! Good luck
Intro of the video really sucked, main part was well made and interesting, and I loved the outro, so inspirational^^
Got a nice pattern there ;-)
oh my...!!! fantastic!!!
I teach rejuvenating nutrition and talk about all the problems with commercial foods on my channel. The story that you share is reality but most people ignore it (that food make them sick). I do permaculture design too but I used raised beds, not circles and I keep living tree in the layout. Sun orientation is key but I keep some ideas you shared here as they may come handy in some situations.
the audio is too low
Not very practical for when you want to say bring your shopping from the farmers market from the car to the house. The store shed next to the road is not in a secure location. How about reducing the length of the drive so to have more productive land?
My HOA says “No”
Video starts at 2:18
IF there were a slope.
Your wind dilemma is blocked by a wooden fence.
And... the garden is so smallest I've seen. I would've opted for a greenhouse connected from garden beds to the chicken shack with worms underneath the veggie platforms for compost (also inside chicken shack underneath chicken nests) so chickens can have a portion of fresh worms at my discretion.
GOD BLESS U
Inspiring!
Thank you
Inspiring
This couple started out with lots of money to be able to buy this plot of land.
Haha, I was expecting indigenous vs permaculture. A very recent view of 'traditional'!
BTW, PC isn't necessarily anti GMO.
Of course it is. GMO goes hand-in-hand with chemical pesticides, so...
Немања Костић GMOs help rid the need of pesticides.
The issue is they would not be needed in the first place if the quality of the soil were to be regenerated by utilizing methods such as Biodynamics and Permaculture.
Remember it's not just the crops that are a problem when it comes to chemicals, it's also spread through run off and the air. In reality no amount is acceptable, especially if you take a look into the spiritual side aka more subtle energetic affects of them.
@@davidzahry Kudos and bravo, David. Well said.
@@davidzahry Genetic modification is no different from selective breeding. That's how we got modern Corn, Citrus, Wheat, and all the other plant varieties that you'd consider perfectly "natural". We can and should eliminate the demand for pesticides and herbicides, but genetic modification is a harmless tool for discovering new produce varieties.
