Question: It has been mentioned that there is an edge between aerobic and anaerobic soils. How would you take advantage of such a subterranean edge? Are there other edges in our soils and under our feet we might take advantage of?

About Geoff:
Geoff is a world-renowned permaculture consultant, designer, and teacher. He has established permaculture demonstration sites that function as education centers in all the world’s extreme climates - information on the success of these systems is networked through the Permaculture Research Institute and the www.permaculturenews.org website.
About Permaculture:
Permaculture (en.wikipedia.o...) integrates land, resources, people and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies - imitating the no waste, closed loop systems seen in diverse natural systems. Permaculture applies holistic solutions that are applicable in rural and urban contexts and at any scale. It is a multidisciplinary toolbox including agriculture, water harvesting and hydrology, energy, natural building, forestry, waste management, animal systems, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics, and community development.

So that's why our soil in Ireland is mostly acid!! Thank you Geoff for this simple explanation.Oh, and also why lazy beds work :-)
Great as always, but that dog jumping out nearly took my life with these ear buds in.
That was way more beneficial than I thought it would be. You are full of good information. Thanks again
I started on really heavy clay, i'm at the top of a hill but my garden slopes at the bottom of the garden if you dig 3ft the water puddles up. Over the last 10 years i've been layering organic material and compost, finally the soil is really friable and lose to about an average of 1.5ft and 2 ft in some places whereas before it was blue and yellow clay as soon as you passed 6 inches.
Nice
Thank you for the informative video... could you please guide on how to get rid of pathogen issues due to anaerobic compost.
Thank you
I had no idea that soil can be classified in this manner XD
well its anerobic if its under water, which makesme wonder, is there still oxygen at 100 percent humidity lol
Why is there a bearded dude talking in the middle of the cute puppy video?
Thanks for that Geoff. Can I ask you what you recommend as a good medium for planting blueberries in a container plz? Thanks.
Acidic potting mix.
2:09 Dog doesn't care about soil haha
are you vegan?
Doggie!!!!
Hello Geoff, I have a unique question for you.....where did you get that shirt? Looks perfect for gardening

Hello Geoff, I live in a place in India where it is hard to bring LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) for cooking and reading more about a domestic Bio Gas plant. However, I am aware that a bio gas digester does a anaerobic digestion, my worries are associated with the anaerobic digestate. How good or bad can this digestate be for my soil, my soil being naturally alkaline. Can you please talk about it in more details?
What are tropical trees that don't mind being waterlogged? Coconut is all I can think of
Just put some blueberries in a soggy place (soggy after it rains) under my swale. Hopefully they'll be happy there. I've killed a lot of 'em on top of or on sides of hugel kulturs where the dirt washes out from around the root ball but you can't see it above because the mulch is intact. I started walking around the blueberries to compress the soil back together and mulched them very heavily after noticing this - they have very shallow roots which you can see if you move one woodchip aside. Anyway, maybe I was working against their natural inclinations - I've heard they like acidic soil and that mulching with oak leaves is best, but never knew less aerobic soil (didn't even know less aerobic meant more wet) was more acidic. Thanks, Geoff. My goal is to, over the next 5 years, have so much food growing on and well supported with swales and nitrogen fixing trees, that I have an excess of everything that thrives here, so I have to preserve, sell, or give away extra and that I have something (greesn under plastic, at least) all year. Shit, I really should make an earthship with a front (South) sided greenhouse which heats my house in winter and grow mangoes in the winter. I live in Southeastern US. Should be able to have plenty of pawpaws, persimmons, mulberries, pecans (heavy in the p's). Blueberries - I've seen people have great success around here. Strawberries - those're actually easy. Wineberries. Asparagus. Please list more I should try, if you're thinking of 'em.
I'm curious as to your results
Thank you. 💕
The pup!
do papayas like dry or wet soil? do tropical plants need wet in summer and dry in winter?
Papayas like well drained soil, wet dry tropics have a dry season, equatorial wet tropics not much at all.
ahhhhh vital information man thankyou very much@@DiscoverPermaculture
