My little survivalist hobby garden is focused on answering this very question. The answer is Sunflower tubers (Jerusalem Artichokes) and small heritage pigs that get most of their nutrition from forage (they are penned up, I forage for them, greens, acorns, walnuts etc...) Amaranth, mammoth sunflowers and pinto beans getting an honorable mention. This year I am experimenting with buckwheat and huauzontles. Also, Chenopodium Album produces a lot of nutrition (for both man and pig) with VERY little input, including a lot of high calorie seeds in late fall. I live in central Oklahoma, in the cross timbers, we have long hot summers.

God bless you all 🎉

What do you think of Geoff tagasaste?

Great video. How hot does it need to be though? Live in Norway …

Would you still feed the chickens bought rations or just the veg scraps that you put on the compost pile?

You didn't show us any temperature readings??

Im on 20 acres in northern California 16"-18" rainfall a year. Id like to put in a few swale on the bottom right portion of the property first pulling water from the main primary valley ( maybe giving a bit of fall on the swale to move water. I was advised 6'-8' wide 12" -18" deep. Delma cobbly loam quite sandy soil. Any input is appreciated

Yo we dig your methods! We just bought 5 acres in the CA desert. Hope to use your methods to help succeed

Have you considered long hives for your bees? The Langstroth hives are more disruptive and less available to monitor and manage

isnt biochar as simple as you just burn a bunch of wood and throw the char in a compost pile for inoculation?

Most people dont have a crew available for daily turning. Also, you only get about 10% of what you put in as conpost when you're done. Finding enough material is prohibitive.

What percentage sun block shade cloth are you using?

❤❤

Nice

Very Beautiful place to live..

Enjoying working through Geoff's online PDC. Geoff has been an inspiration in the development of my site. What he teaches works, and it's time to shift up a gear!

Assalaamu Alaykum brother Geoff. I'm from south africa and have been a fan of your content from 2019. What you do is amazing and I aspire to change the World through permaculture principles with your help. Would love to enroll Much love from South Africa, and hope to meet you one day insha Allah❤❤❤❤

Thank you!

Heavenly Father please fill up the earth with clean, fresh water for all.

How does excessive rain potentially effect these systems?

‼️‼️‼️JUST REALIZED this is Hugh Grant. So cool that he’s doing his true passion now!

I would really love a series on creating food forests & wind breaks in the ever- challenging Texas panhandle. We have all extremes: occasionally down to -20 in winter, up to 110+ in summer, damaging year-round winds between 20-50+ mph, and rain is all or nothing, plus hail every April. We have 11 acres, only slightly sloped. Wanting to use mostly medicinal/edible vegetation. I'm looking at large pampas grasses, locusts, soapberry, elder, hawthorn, etc...and creating swales. Would love a pond. We need shade, water capture, affordably improved soil, quality dry-land pasture for a couple head of cattle. Thank you for taking the time to read! 🙏

Who needs an oven, when you can cook a chicken in a manure? #slowroastedgoodness

Let people then consider their food: how WE pour down rain in abundance & meticulously split the earth open ˹for sprouts˺, causing grain to grow in it, as well as grapes & greens, & olives & palm trees, & dense orchards, & fruit & fodder- all as ˹a means of sustenance 4U & U animals. Then, when the Deafening Blast comes to pass (Surah ABASA :24-33)

Thank you Geoff

Geoff isn't Casuarina an alellopathic tree? How do you deal with the effect of its leaves on the ground? How would you deal with an eucalyptus tree?

Thanks Geoff!

❤ what I can plant on my allotment in nottingham to start as a perma culture garden its all weeds at the moment .

Very well put through and information. Keep it up.

Greening up deserts is a wonderful accomplishment. The permaculture method will guide you so as to be able to grow trees, bushes, and crops. I also like the idea of growing 7’ x 7’ desert grass grids and planting crops and trees within the protective grass walls. Eventually, the extremely long grass roots will help compost the desert sand. The desert grass will also raise the water table and bring more rain.

I like that Geoff just talks to you in these videos. No fancy cuts or graphics. Just the pertinent information. Kudos.

Not bad, I think I like Allan Savory's approach better.

Literally what i have been dreaming about

Wonderful!

MasyaAllah. Tqtqtq Geoff. A magic project what as I dream it in my dry land. We’re just at the start of our project. Your Food Forest really inspiring.

Wonderful 👍, love you work

Great work! Excited to keep learning.

I wonder how well you'd do with a cycle rickshaw there. Those motor rickshaws are noisy as hell

... hello ☕, good to see this, it's been awhile ⚓🌏

are you prepared for how to help your constituents and how to defend it if there should be spillover into your little slice of heaven there? I'm truly worried.

The flood deposits in that tree around 9:30 is just incredible! Permaculture provides such supreme resilience ❤

im curing why you suggest directing the surplus liquid to a gravel trench or reed bed. cant you use it to fertilize trees/veg garden? if so, what dilution ratio should be used? same as urine?

Geoff, you have been and always be the beacon of hope for us all. We need to grow, bigger stronger likeminded communities in every country until we can group together to create a global society, and of course you will be my choice for earth president elect ;)

Geoff has by far been the most inspiring instructor I've ever had. Love seeing what he & his team have been doing for years. Been working on a 3.15acre site for the past couple years. Permaculture principals work & should be one of the required courses in schools IMHO that is 💖

Absolutely brilliant! What a huge job and an incredible transformation! Well Done to everyone involved in this project, I can only imagine the wealth of knowledge that has been gained through it. This is the future!

What a Champion! Let's heal this world 🌍💚

Thanks Geoff
