- There are so many things you CAN do it becomes almost intimidating on where to start sometimes. Back on our School of Permaculture facebook group we get asked lots of questions and one very common one is where or how to begin. Obviously I think the real first step is a permaculture design course, but this video will give you some really helpful starting tips.

1. Composting Area
2. Nursery/Work Station
3. Build and Retain Soil Fertility
4. Harvest Rain Water
5. Efficiency of Work
A tote worm farm works for anywhere even under your bed or counter connected to your garbage disposal
This is exactly what I needed. Just a quick basic video to start turning things over in my mind to see how I can apply these things to my garden. I think you have saved me hours of permaculture torture 😝 It doesn’t take long to get lost in the forest of it all! I was lost… but now I’m found! Thank you 😊
On my smaller plot, I'm finding it essential that every component accomplish multiple tasks. For instance, my compost area will be in the chicken/rabbit enclosure. Let the animals do some of the work for me. My fruit trees will be on the south side of my greenhouse; shade/cooling the house in the summer, but letting light in in the winter.
Smart! Thanks for the ideas!
Brilliant! 😊
In support of soil improvement and tilts. Compost, castings (worms!!). Have contact for cow manure from a dairy farm nearby. A used wheelbarrow, large wagon, hauling - is an essential consideration tool for raiding the woods, moving materials. You may want to lay cardboard over planting beds even before the snow melts.
Thank you! This is so helpful. I want to start gardening and I have a good size yard but I'm so overwhelmed.
Becky watch my introduction to permaculture gardening class. It will help
@@schoolofpermaculture thanks I'll definitely check it out!
im just going to say, as someone who rushes in...
sit out there,
walk out there
see what gets the sun...
oh, yeah why not... have fun.
Start small
#1-> just start! It’s scary especially if you are like me and want instant “perfection”
Thank you so much for showing it so lightly !!!!!!!
I am astonished by how good your grownd looks
While you're not able to have chickens you could try guinea pigs their a sustainable meat source and provide manure and while they don't scratch about as much as a chicken they will a bit and root around the area their set loose in
I am awesome, thanks.....Ha ha. I am at the very start of the design and near the chairs and table where hubby and I take evening drinks will be a tahitian lime, and now I will plan a garden around that tree.
Question for rain water harvesting do those containers need to be black or covered for some type of wooden structure to keep out the sunlight from growing algae? Would a simple recycled fence wood be a very simple and extremely low cost solution to basically build a box around the containers for sunlight protection?
Geoff Lawton says algae are good. They ensure that the water remains pure. The only thing was to make sure that you leave in a tiny hole at the top. Try listening to people harvesting water esp in Australia. I think the title of the video was water harvesting lecture by Geoff Lawton
Very helpful: Thank You!!!
I really enjoy your your CZcams channel. I have thumbs upped and subscribed. Thank you for helping to make this planet a better place to live! I have signed up for your Spring PDC class starting in July. I look forward to meeting you in person.
Stephen Orth thanks! Can’t wait to meet you in July! Bless ya
You can let the water sit or even put an aerator in it and the cl2 will completely disburse

The city won't let me have a horse but BARKING DOGS EVERYWHERE are just fine. 😠
Dogs are good
Horses are also good
Inconsiderate owners are a problem
Very well put. I will be watching more of your Videos...Thank You, Peace : )
Do you ever worry about lead or other contaminants in garden soil when gardening in the city?
Maybe we should just plant a couple rounds of crops that absorb stuff. And or actually take soil samples and send it in to be tested. Talk to county extension office about a test.
Thanks for this. Great help designing my eatable garden in the city next year. A lot to take in considuration. Could you do a more elaborate video on building soil in the city. I have bare soil, no nutiënts or insects exept near my compost bin.
Thanks for the request Marica, we will put it in the que. Have a great day! Bless you
@@schoolofpermaculture Thanks.
Thanks for the information! It is hard to get going in a direction.
Dude - you rock permaculture!
Air guitar man
Soil Fertility is the end goal!!!
Awesome video! Thanks!
Wahoo!!! Thank you for this👍🏼
Thanks for sharing 💜
I have a decent size yard w literally nothing but the entire yard is thick clay soil! (Ohio) I want to do the permaculture, and turn my whole back yard into something usable. At the same time I have 3 dogs that obviously use this space for their bathroom. Should I fence off an area for them? They are small dogs. It disappears into the soil pretty quickly
Do you have pictures or videos of your soil before you started all of this? It would be cool to see how the soil has changed since.
Do you find difficulty dealing with city? That want you to have a manicured lawn . If just discovered this permaculture. And think it’s great but I don’t think any city around my area would let me have a native Prairie style yard full of grained grass and foods . I grow great dandelions and noone is happy about it
Hey, speaking of compost, I made a video on composting on contour using swales, and am curious what you think of it if you were interested in checking it out. I also hit on a lot of stuff like production of methane which I think is vitally crucial for us to minimize.
Great info here, I subbed.
I will check it out. Thanks for the sub!
Really excellent video, keep'em coming brother.
You need a huge amount of work at first, don't be fooled. After you're established it'll be a piece of cake 🤗
I see you bought a house under power lines.
Is it cheaper to buy land in proximity to them?
Does it affect the wildlife?
Do you welcome visitors if I happen to be traveling through the state? I'd love to check your set up out in person.
How do you keep worms from dying in the summer ? We tried it but could not control the heat. In the shade the compost was 110+ always. Did great the other seasons.
Great video!
be very careful not to get aminophyralides into your system. Via clippings, straw, hay, bedding (horses), or manure (cow or horse manure).
How do you do worm culture
tHANK YOU...CAN U KINDLY ELABORATE ON BUILDING/RETAINING SOIL FERTILITY? THNK YOU
Where can I get information on your school. You mentioned your in Texas I'm in Far West Tx but would love to learn more about permiculture
Schoolofpermaculture.com
Would love to have you as a student
Hey Jenny, what park of West Texas are you located. I’m in Lubbock and there’s not many permaculture followers around here. I’m always try to coordinate and learn with and from others doing the same.
@@donniedanford2754 In
El Paso Tx its a Zone 8A here but I’m willing to learn new things. I have been planting gardens for the last 5 years here and have learned quite a bit for this location but with all the weather throwing new lessons I feel like I’m never going to get the hang of this lol but that’s not going to stop me.
@@jenniferthernandez33 it's been the same for me. I've been on the livestock side of things for a little while but the growing only started a couple years ago and it's been a slap in the face with weather, pests, rabbits... I'm optimistic though and I continue to adjust. I think I'll start getting yields this year and actually seeing growth
What is a hot compost?
A type of composting method where oxygen (by turning the pile) and moisture are added more often to ensure thermophillic microorganisms, which break down the organic matter faster, can thrive at around 150 to 160 degrees F.

What does he mean when he says “RE-MINERALISE” the soil?
I was under the impression compost makes organic mater which admends poor soil.
Nothing to do with minerals.
Compost is organic matter. It also contains minerals. If you composted spinach and broccoli for example they would break down become organic matter and the minerals in them would become available for the new plants the compost is added to.
Great video although your property is not very neat.
So superficial that I'm afraid you're giving a lot of people false confidence in starting something you just gave them almost no helpful information on.
Bokashi!
