This is the future of Earth civilization ... without big mega cities, without a 9 to 5 workweeek, without Wars, without poverty, without lack of anything... We will be spiritual beings living on the land like we did thousands of years earlier. We will not have churches but will spend time each day meditating and learning who we have been and will get advice from our spirit guides. Namaste
If you compost in your swale it not only keeps the compost moist but then the swale can be a great place for planting various things, and the compost is already there!
I know I'm very late in replying to these questions about chickens--first of all, Connie keeps rabbits, not chickens. I do keep chickens, as does Erik. Especially at night, but even during the day, there are so many predators in our area--raccoons, foxes, bobcats, cougars and coyotes. Within the fences, they have plenty of space to roam, dig, and sunbathe. Starhawk
I am against the all-out war on nature made by the polluting factories and big oil projects, but I have to remind you here that CO2 relation to what's supposed to be called the global warming or lately called the climate changes isn't yet scientifically determined. But at the end of the day, your style of living is really so promising and it is a reminiscent of what our grand grand fathers and mothers used to live and interact wit the earth.
Very impressive content that I truly appreciate; while not everyone's cup of tea, these concepts are enlightening. Change will come with acceptance of diversity based on a common goal, survival.
thank you from my heart this is the simplest and clearest and most feel-good of all the wonderful permaculture video i have seen shall share widely - this good news, this great vision that we witness unfolding into reality at miracle speed
Permaculture; what a concept. This video brought tears to my eyes, I feel so disconnected from how we collectively function. I want to know more about this lifestyle, its about time I worked hard at something anyways, these idle hands can't take much more typing, I'm off to seek out resources!
Sure, design framework is a much better description, and I think it could work on a large scale but you'd need a lot more farmers than we have today. The impracticalities of harvesting loads of different kinds of crops from the same bit of land presents the main problem. I'm up for more farmers and smaller holdings. Bring it on...
Yes, modern medicine is, y'know...awesome. I like the idea of living until I'm 70. A combination of today's ingenuity and technologies with the past's eco friendly home style and self sufficiency would be a nice thing, me thinks.
There are many different points of view about partnering with animals. I'm not sure if you are referring to the video with Connie, which takes place in an urban setting, so her chickens probably don;t have a lot of space. I do know, from keeping chickens myself, that they prefer a safe enclosed place at night, which protects them from predators, and that during the day I always let them out in the yard or garden.
@eitkoml One of the ideas is that people become more self sustaining, its amazing how much you can grow in a very small space. It is in fact large scale farming thats more wasteful.
Thanks! I've found videos by Bill Mollison and by Geoff Lawton. Plus, there's some dude from Arizona who knows a lot about water harvesting, and he has great videos, too.
@kakudmi It is either cage the chickens, ducks or other animals, OR fence each individual plot of plants, chickens like any other animal, will damage the plants. Pecking at the new fruitings etc.,.
@eitkoml If it works, it will work on the commercial scale. it's more demanding of us as individuals for us to learn what to plant together, and to be aware of the permacuture system, which is a working system.
I like terrice desighns i havnt bought land yet but dread settlin fir flat when i do but this just got me thinking if i build a cob dome house i can make my own hills
If you are referring to the video about Connie's Garden, i cannot answer why she keeps chickens in cages. I can guess it has to do with limited space. I am also unsure as to whether or not she eats them.
Permaculture's have been shown to produce more nutrition per acre than monoculture agriculture. It also doesn't need inputs of fossil fuel energy to constantly maintain the constant crisis state needed in order to practice monoculture agriculture. If this isn't sci-fi enough for you so be it, but I'd like to hear your solution to feeding the world in 50-100 years as were climaxing in both our fossil fuel production and food production.
Bob - It's obviously already happening & all over the world, there're many other comm. out there such as this 1. We're just not ready to make the move as of yet. Can we continue to sustain ourselves? Don't think so & therefore, we'll all have to go back down to basics.
I understand. My grandparents were doing the same thing. However I still didn't get the answer to my question: what is the purpose of keeping them in a cage? Do you eat them or just their eggs?
Yes it does (there are already many exampes), but it doesn´t work in the same way. it has to be acompained by culture change of both producers and consumers and producers. Doing this you will not become millionare for example, but life gets better. It will not be relegated, it is growing (sometimes under other names). Also, the world is about to change.
Woderful! I'm planing on doing the similar project. One question: since you propagate natural way of life and you try to sync with the nature around you, why is it that you imprison chickens? Can't they live a free life like you do? What is the purpose of their imprisonment? Thanks.
There are many moving away from manure fertilizers due to the issues with bacteria. Most of the large commercial buyers will not take any produce even from fields that have a deer visit. Then you have some vegans who prefer their food not be grown with animal products. Composted manures work well, but we are organically certified and must comply with Federal rules... tedious, very tedious. It's been four years since we've brought in manures. It's different, but we're used to it now.
Thank you for this informative permaculture video! Yes, it's a must to have - "systems that can meet human needs while regenerating the land around us." There are enough resources for everyone, we just need a new model to follow. Please check out our open source sustainability project (sustainability nonprofit -org) and feel free to use any info that will forward your cause. Thanks for all you do for our precious mother earth and her beautiful people.
Yes, it is time we humans start to become part of our environment instead of isolating ourselves from it. Isolation leads to unhappiness and death. We can truly live on this earth and create abundance and bio-diversity, we do not have to live like the scourge of the earth.
Apart from the hippy-douche-baggery I liked the video. And, all hating aside, I really do think this is a good solution to current problems. I thank you for the upload and will strike "starhawk" from my memory if only because I can see good intents here. Peace and love.
@kakudmi It is either cage the chickens, ducks or other animals, OR fence each individual plot of plants, chickens like any other animal, will damage the plants. Pecking at the new fruitings etc.,.not to mention to protect them from predators, like cats, fox's, basically depending on which area your in. Personally we have lost chicks and ducklings to neighbors cats, bang bang. Bad neighbors.
Look at Tamera dot org to see an ecovillage that is building a sustainable model in the south of Portugal. They've been building their community for over 30 years now. They also offer a peace university in the summer and have been very active in peace activism in the Middle East for a long time. See about the Grace Trek of some Tamera members that's happening right now in Palestine. Californians partnering with people at Tamera could be very productive in building a stronger movement.
Thousands of years ago we had large cities, longer workdays, wars, and instead of poverty we had famine and drought, who needs a low infant mortality rate anyway?
Wow that farm looks wonderful!! Could anyone recommend some good videos to me on guilds and polyculture? Also has anyone here heard of or tried hugelkultur? i was wondering about the C:N since logs have alot of carbon. :) Namste
what are the 12 principles of permaculture? and how would it benefit the ecosystem and society, is it the way for future living? and how would you diagrammaticaly show an example permaculture design of a typical /basic setup? please respond (: thankyou
This is a great video to see High Performance Cars, so the chicks will go BRRR BRRR. Just kidding mates, I am turning into permaculture and using my bike.
No. Dancing and chanting when there's work to do offends me. Holzer is a permaculture STAR, and I've never seen him chant or dance ONCE. Anyway, since I posted this, I found videos from Geoff Lawton, too. No dancing or chanting in those videos, either, and they had ACTUAL DIAGRAMS of what they did to green the desert.
"we will not have churches" - as an atheist i ask u, doesn't every religious people deserve their right to have a place of worship, as a cultural right? second question, isn't the word '"spiritual" being' problematic in philosophical terms, because, as the "spiritually"-inclined philosopher wittgenstein said, philosophical problems come out of confusing one "language game" with another. words like "soul" & "spirit" can mean very different things to different people.
"All religion does is create division" - if it wasn't religion doing this it would be football teams (i live in england), tribalism is instinctual. & whether religion or non-religious, people find a way to divide. the only true way is pluralism, learning to tolerate&live with the differences, & find inspiration from differences to form a new cohesive whole in society, constantly dynamically changing. my 1st point was that we might not "need churches", but churches hav a right to exist. no?
I love permaculture. I'm creating a forest garden here at home. But... Sorry luv but it's not science it's a philosophy. It might use science (sometimes), but calling it science is a misunderstanding of what science is... I like it all the same mind.
VIDEO was good, comments from atheists (who worship themselves), putting down people who recognize the G-D of the universe seems VERY judgmental and prejudice to me......Oh, wait, "spiritualists" and atheists would not do that....:)
lyletuck why does it bother you so? Does the fact that there are people in the world who care about healing the planet & our spiritual connection to Nature threaten you in some way? If those things don't interest you (which seems a little sad to me) then just learn what you want and live and let live. Since when did caring about things like nature, peace, love and kindness become tantamount to evil? Something has gone seriously awry. Pardon me for saying but that attitude bodes ill for humanity.
I am disturbed by the banner at 1:21. Communist symbol and writing with Pan African colors. Is that a cross below the hand? What is that doing there?? This is a train wreck. I know this is not the official banner for permaculture, yet using old divisive symbols for permaculture is silly. Maybe a new symbol for Permaculture is in order.
I am extremely interested in permaculture design. But it seems that EVERY BLESSED VIDEO on it is full of, pardon me for saying this, about a ton of Hippie Horsesh*t. Is Sepp Holzer the only person involved in permaculture who isn't a new-age lunatic? Aren't there any other rational, scientific types in this movement? Can't we just talk about trees and ponds and rocks without any nonsense about "healing the planet" or healing our souls? I just want to grow food wisely, not become a hippie.
i hope you have a kilo of lsd or enough ayahuasca for the whole world to drink because that is going to take a radical change in ethics and thinking that i don't see happening. you think regular everyday people are are going to go for it? they don't even know their heads from their ass and you think they are going to buy into something not advertised during the super bowl really think about it there is no way with out psychedelics but hey there is always a chance right!

There are some small ponds at 1:39 - any chance of hearing where those are? Pretty please?
Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo!
Je suis totalement convaincu!
Yes, modern medicine is, y'know...awesome. I like the idea of living until I'm 70. A combination of today's ingenuity and technologies with the past's eco friendly home style and self sufficiency would be a nice thing, me thinks.
It is kind of a design framework and guidelines IMO. Good luck with the forest!
What a garden!!!

Thank you for this video. I am learning about Permaculture Principles and this video gave me more understanding of these principles.
Thanks! I've found videos by Bill Mollison and by Geoff Lawton. Plus, there's some dude from Arizona who knows a lot about water harvesting, and he has great videos, too.
Yarrow reduces fevers in everyone safely and naturally. :-) This guy is my hero!^
@kakudmi It is either cage the chickens, ducks or other animals, OR fence each individual plot of plants, chickens like any other animal, will damage the plants. Pecking at the new fruitings etc.,.
@jaworskij Agreed! This is the way I see the future if all works out!
@eitkoml If it works, it will work on the commercial scale. it's more demanding of us as individuals for us to learn what to plant together, and to be aware of the permacuture system, which is a working system.
I love this video!
Beautifully put together, a great intro - well done!
@jaworskij
Assuming the water, soil, air, and species are not all destroyed.
I like terrice desighns i havnt bought land yet but dread settlin fir flat when i do but this just got me thinking if i build a cob dome house i can make my own hills
If you are referring to the video about Connie's Garden, i cannot answer why she keeps chickens in cages. I can guess it has to do with limited space. I am also unsure as to whether or not she eats them.
Thank you for subscribing! All the best, Amanda (Book Restorer)
Human nature won't let that happen... and not all "spirit guides" are good guys.
BEST VIDEO EVER!

Thanks.
i'm guessing that the idea of a swale composting system is to water the compost pile for faster 'processing'. anyone know?
Thanks. An old river runs straight. Can I therefore design a straight path or does it need to "meander like a stream."?
I feel you on the technology issue. I would rather operate an electric transportation device than a horse and buggy...
There are many moving away from manure fertilizers due to the issues with bacteria. Most of the large commercial buyers will not take any produce even from fields that have a deer visit. Then you have some vegans who prefer their food not be grown with animal products.

how do u protect the fruits to be eaten from birds if u use no no chemicals in Permaculture? thanks for the tips..
Oh, gee, suddenly my 90-second video about permaculture seems...sketchy. Great vid!
@jaworskij whoooohoOO!!

The venus project is similar to permaculture if not the same ideas sustainible future and society.
This is great stuff but can it work on a large, commercial scale?
If it can't then it will always be relegated to hardcore enthusiasts and hobbyists.
Love it!

What's that wonderful music in there? Who's playing?
This is a great video to see High Performance Cars, so the chicks will go BRRR BRRR.
Just kidding mates, I am turning into permaculture and using my bike.
5:59
Is the guy with long hair the guy from the opening scene of Pulp Fiction?
Their waste product is the fertilizer.
Their digging and picking help to loose the soil.
They get ride of pests in the garden.
No.

@maxxiscopolis
1:16 to 1:20 not all of them are white
maybe they are protecting chickens from bobcats and coyotes in the area?
WE celebrate diversity (note: all white folk!)
Chicken in cages, I would say because of the same old issue that chicken have to survive from since they exist : FOXES
;)
