😂😂 I have seen this full video it's amazing bro I like the way you trained yourself to be a strong man
Thanks bro!
Wow really doing amazing work🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
2:17 plant appears to be Plectranthus Ecklonii, or large spur flowers. They grow so quickly because they are in the same plant family as mint. Cultivated all across the world but native to South Africa!
Thanks! Will check it out!
Wow amazing bro
Xupa ooleng Max, great job, sidai ooleng, natural hedge shrubs are so important for biodiversity.
Ashe oleng Lars!
This is what Africa needs. Please keep asking local sources. Then, showing, and sharing; what is possible with easily available plants. This way, you could not only hedge off private properties, but control wildlife without killing them unnecessarily, or simply out-competing them. I imagine vast networks of live fences, with passage and link gates - all from Mother Nature. Then, feeding man and beast (or, are we just all 'beasts'?) together. Best wishes, man.
Thanks for your kind comment! Yes, Kenya and Africa has a opputunity to uterlice many indignious plant species for many different needs. Live fencing is one example. Others are fruits, animal fodder, bee forage, energy, timber etc. For the last 100 years exotic species have taken this role but now is the time for indignious species to outshine them...
Rätt som det är kommer det någon man känner igen. Så duktig du är Max. Hälsa frugan
Hej Gunilla! Vi är I Sverige nu :-)
Do you have a book with other tree species especially those from Samburu North? I am doing a research on this and i think this will be very helpful.
Others have done recerch from mount nyiro /south horr. Let me look for links

Wow this is really amazing permaculture 🎉
Thanks
Har ni flyttat till Kenya permanent nu? Lycka till med dammprojektet 😊❤
Hej Gunilla, vi har inte flyttat helt men förbereder oss så att det en dag kan bli möjligt :-)
Goodman i love you
Wow I think live fence is better than dead fence
Haha
Great presentation 👏🏿
Ashe!
Wow ❤❤ this is amazing permaculture can I get full video
Yes, its out
Wow 🎉 this is amazing work am learning allot from your videos
Thanks!
thanks, a nice treat for our environment. We call the bushes mabaai.
Hi, thanks for your comment. In which language is it called mabaai?
😂😂❤❤
Just saw you being featured on NTV Kenya and figured you'd have a CZcams channel, and I was right!
Thank you!
There is a lot of content here since 2012 although not all that edited..
Lovely, will definitely check them out! Also, I'm a writer/journalist (mainly covering culture stories and those about the Black community) with a couple of publications - Insider, Reader's Digest, Metro, BBC, and more. I'd like to pitch your story to a couple of my editors. Would you be up for an interview on your journey, what inspired you, and how you eventually became an elder? Happy to share my email address if so. Thank you!
Hi, help, might you know what would cause this tree to break while still young? i have like 8 trees in my shamba and have broken or snapped but are all alive
People break it for mswaki. Cows, goats break if they get a chance to eat.
The progress in your farm is amazing...is there an opportunity for hands on learning on your farm?.. I live in Kenya
Yes, we can arrange something!
@@MaxLemayian thank you I will get in touch soon
There is a great upcomming opputunity in the farm next to me. Nkosira Farm. Who is farming in permaculture design and is more developed then me. From October 2024 and forward we will there offer trainings, internships and volonteering opputunities..
It looks great. Good contrast with the land across the street and your land where you hold on to water for as long as possible.
Thanks, when raining, accross the street will also be a bit green but after 2 weeks of no rain it will go dry. While in my land it is still green after 3 months of drought. The water soaks in quick and stays in the ground for a very long time!
Så smart att dra nytta av regnet så som du gör. Hoppas fler tar efter. Bra med dammar med vatten ifall det uppstår bränder. Hälsningar till familjen
Tack Gunilla för din kommentar! Jo, detta vatten gör är väldigt stor skilldnad. Vi 2 st som sedan några år börjat använda denna teknik i Maralal. Har nu sätt att fler och fler tar efter, framför allt i år har ett antal provat.
Vattnet i dammen kommer jag använda för att odla grönsaker under torrperioden.
Woooow we thank God for rain🎉
Can you give me any information of this plant because I have graduation project
Yes, I do know a bit of this plant. Any specific info you need?
I can make an updated video about this shrub. I will upload in 1-2 weeks from now.
Waaw Wonderful Beautiful Home! Concra' 🎉🎉❤😊
Thanks alot baba Alex!!
Impressive 🙌🏼 There’s hope if we can help more farmers in Africa (and world wide) learn by your example 👌🏼💚
Thank you so much!
Riktigt bra video, kul att se hur det ser ut😊
Tack, kul att höra att den uppskattas!
