Marisha's garden looks so great! I took her permaculture course in 2014 and it was such a great experience! Lots of hands-on learning. Glad to see how bountiful her 1/6 acre garden has become. :)
So many great tips here! I love the wicking bed idea for strawberries, and the roof garden in general. I like how you talk about the design choices, rather than simply telling people what to do. That's key. 😉👍
I bought some perennials from her when I first got my spot! Never saw all the roof goodness but her yard is poppin off. Also a helpful explanation of microclimates (espcially in an urban setting)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! So much love, generosity and intelligences. I've been studying and watching your videos all through the pandemic. Just today, I closed on a 5-acre mountain saddle property with 2/3 closed Atlantic forest just one hour from São Paulo here in Brazil. Thank you again for being good souls. Abraços, Frank
Got to love microclimates, I am hopefully going to plant haskaps when they are released in Australia later this year, right underneath a mango tree. Not many places you can get 850-1000 chill hours and near zero frosts.
It’s so easy to grow in Portland for microclimate come on this other side of the mountain to central Oregon (lapine). Now that’s a challenge which I’m trying to learn.
Great video 🎥👍I'm also considering to build a roof terrace. The way she planned her garden is really what I did intuitively as well. 🤗 (Of course on a smaller scale).
This was very in-depth and informative. I was sat here going, yes she is correct lol. Thank you for sharing this was really interesting. Very impressed. P.E.A.C.E
I live in Minnesota, where it is cold much of the year. When I moved into my 1/3 acre it was all lawn, could only find one bumble bee and her daughter. (I can tell bumble bees apart, my favorites.) Had to pull all the grass by hand, very little left. I am now trying to figure out how to bring back a small creek, that I was told ran through my property, until the city did something decades ago, same with a small lake very close by. I planted fruit trees, among other things, but the birds have been helping out so I have many more that I did not plant. You can't see my house from Google maps.
I'm just getting into videography myself. I would like to avoid some of the pitfalls that make videos daunting to sit through. Would you care to advice me?
I live in a mountain in the tropics 600 masl. The sun shines more evenly towards the land in the higher elevations and in higher altitudes it's much more cooler. My uncle who lives in the same area but hundreds meters more above grows strawberries. At 1000 masl exists highland primary rainforest. The only difference though is others are surrounded by monoculture banana plantations. While my property which has a lot of old growth trees. I think I could probably match the cold of the higher altitudes through planting and adding features that create that microclimate. 😁
@@FarfettilLejl Hahaha!! That's right: he/she lives in a mountain that just hovers around the equator at 600 meters above sea level... But in all seriousness, I'm from Costa Rica, and what they describe is just like here: tropical country with lots of different micro climates that vary depending on the zone and how high above sea level you are. There are also lost of banana plantations and you can grow strawberries and other non-tropical crops (including some apples and grapes), and there are tons of old forests. However, that description also matches anywhere in Central America, parts of South America, parts of Asia, and even some places in Africa. So, who knows...?
I’m planning on buying land and building a house. I want to build the house first, then the permaculture food forest around it later, but I’m figuring I need to plan the permaculture design before I build the house, so I know where to place it and face it.
It is definitely worth taking plenty of time to plan out and consider as many variables as possible before building. Can you live in a tent for a while to get a first hand experience of the variables? It would be cool if you would track the before with arial shots, show contours and variables you discover and then record each step along the way. May your project move smoothly and joyfully.😊
Molly, yes. Plan your structures, infrastructures (roads, walkways, utilities) and water systems first. Study these permaculture principles before buying land and get to know the sources. Brook water can be diverted by neighbors further up & limit your share...same with herbicides & wind. Interview your potential neighbors. Research local ordinances. Best wishes!
Great information ! This is very good basic knowledge for semi residencial planning. We just built a Mission house very near the river n creek n we had flash flooding last month. The neighbors were waist deep in water while ours was knee high. Now we need to plan ahead and prepare the food garden . Forest is gone sadly many cut down trees for charcoal making industry. We are in the tropical island of Palawan. Need to plant trees that will help in less soil errosion as the old out house besides the creek. Can you please suggest, aside from bamboo, what other plants n trees should we plant? The property has some fruit trees already.
I live in Southern Oregon and am looking for a permaculture/food forest consultant. Can anyone direct me to someone who can help? Thanks! Love your videos!!!
I love the video, but please be clear for people to NOT just put dirt on their roofs. They will damage, destroy, collapse their roof, ceilings or entire house. Dirt is Very heavy. Standard roofs will rot and leak. Shingles will leak right away as the water backs up underneath them. The roof support rafters are just strong enough to hold up the roofing material and little else. Beds full of soil must be supported some other way, like a very strong deck over your house. But then how would you ever be able to re-roof the house or repair leaks? Don't do it folks, beyond modest planters on your deck.

Let me take the liberty to translate as I totally agree with what you said and I think other people might too. "Respected Sir, i don't understand a lot but the pictures you edit in your videos help me understand some of it. After watching your videos i too feel like connecting to nature. "
I've not heard of this micro-climate mapping. This is very informative and may help me to no end in my approach here in Europe.

Thank you for this inspiring share. Absolutely love the Grapes on the roof idea.
Microclimates are so much fun to work with! Thanks for the video Andrew & Marisha!
Put a maximum of like to the video ! It is important for see more of that kind of content on youtube !

Wow, congratulations! I'm so happy to hear you've been enjoying my channel, best of luck on your permaculture journey and take care :-)

5:05 I love these diagrams!!! That was super helpful for me!
I really like the graphics.
Thanks for posting!
I'm on the WA Olympic Peninsula and loved this video. It's so educational and now I'm subscribed. :) Thank you.

Luv the music. #Culture #Fun #BalancedLiving
2:47 Microclimate Conditions to consider:
- solar exposure
- aspect
- soil type (dry or moist)
- wind
- exposure
- shelter
- vegetation
What a start...
Great video thanks
it is definitely informative with a nice well sculpted script.
Guitar skills like Jack Johnson. Loved it
It's a start but all must be doing this.
Must be nice with that West Coast rainfall
Super cool video!

Great video! And your audio/video editing skills are really taking off (consider remaking all the previous content with Heiko).
I'm just getting into videography myself. I would like to avoid some of the pitfalls that make videos daunting to sit through. Would you care to advice me?
Thanks and I'm working on it! It's a slow evolution. I'd love to redo Heiko videos some day! That's my very early work.

Nice!!🌱🌱
Have you developed a catchment system in the backyard? Do you have a well or water storage options?
Andrew where did you get that hat? That thing is awesome. Love all youe videos keep them coming
nice info thanks, you have a lovely house

Love the design. I need to know where to get that large bike trailer!
It's a Bikes at Work trailer from Ames, Iowa. Thank you!
Cool! Stéph.
Awesome!
Interesting thanks
Are you able to share what software you are using to create the visualization of the heat map?
I am just drawing it on an ipad using the program "Procreate"
Wonderful
I live in Southern Oregon and am looking for a permaculture/food forest consultant. Can anyone direct me to someone who can help? Thanks!
Love your videos!!!

Is that a poppy flower at the lower left at 4:15?
If you need anyone who does drone mapping and contour lines in Phoenix AZ. Look me up. I'm happy to help.
Genius!!!
Does the grapevine attract flys and mosquitos
What does the word juxtapose mean?
one question...on an empty lot of land, do we consider permaculture garden design before building a house on it?
Yes! You will place the house strategically, according to permaculture principles!
Yes, place your structures & infrastructure, then water systems first.
Did I just see a poppy plant🧐 what kind of operation you got running lady😏😱
Can you please send the original map from this video 3:56 min
I'm in the Mojave Desert.

Like the gardening, hate the guitar playing. I am jealous because I can't play.
very nice concept...u r lucky u do not have any evil HOA...
What is the plant at 4:38?

Anyone else see that poppy?
Wait Oregon has a desert 🏜 😳
Imagine being like "we have the knowledge to save the world".... "but thats gonna be $20k in student loans thx"
Did she purposely buy a house with a flat roof so she could use it for growing?
Yeah but how to buy a house tho lol
This was a good video but gardening involves more intuition than intellect.
4:13 is that opium? Damnn lol
Papaver somniferum. Beautiful and great edible seeds. Aaaand you might be able to extract opium...
@@arialblack87 emphasis on might.
guitar is too loud
Disagree, it needs more cowbell
@@kerem7546 Yessss
I know you’re in Portland but enough of the fucking guitar
