  • Welcome to this 7-part video series that is excerpted from Oregon State University's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course:
    workspace.oregonstate.edu/cou...
    The Keyline® Plan is a method of land design for soil and water conservation developed by Australian farmer and engineer P.A. Yeomans in the 1950's, and practiced widely throughout Australia ever since. My training in this design system came from Keyline® design's modern day emissary, Darren J. Doherty of the Regrarians (www.regrarians.org). This series is my best attempt to present a simple introduction to the design system, beginning with the very basics: understanding landforms to determine the potentials that each landscape possesses.
    There are a lot more design layers to this system then what is presented in this 7-part series, so please treat this as an introduction, and not a comprehensive explanation. I also refer to other videos within this series that are part of Oregon State's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course and are not publically available, so if you want more depth in this topic and others, please visit our course offerings:

    Damn Andrew!
    It took me so long to discover your yt channel.
    I just wanted to thank you.
    Your videos with OSU introduced me to permaculture.
    I remember it vividly when i first saw you drawing with colerful pencils and your awesome calm but inspiring voice.
    On monday i start on a small biological farm and i never had a more positive outlook on my life (i hope it stays that way).
    Thank you so much for showing me the way to my true calling.

    Excellent instruction method using AR Sandbox to help permaculture students to visualize their landscape canvas in 3D and understand how to apply Keyline Planning to their project!
    The other tool necessary to accurately model a real world landscape for comprehensive permaculture planning & design would be a terrain mapping drone. How to quickly & accurately map a large plot of land without breaking the bank would be a great video to go along with this excellent AR Sandbox series. (Hopefully there are some open source tools & diy drone mods by now that would open this survey method up for almost anyone anywhere who is the least bit tech savvy?)

    The next maxim is that water at height is more valuable than lower water. Double the height of the water and you usually triple the area the water can be reticulated to at very low cost. It follows that the higher water is retained, the more valuable the water. The most important maxim is “the true place for water is in the soil”. Remember those points and you have the gist of the tasks.

    It’s really simple, I “Brittle” climates, the most pressing and basic task of agriculture is to change the flow of water across the landscape by 90 degrees. Understand the basic task and condition ALL decisions on that, you have completed 50% of your task.

    Hi Andrew. With how much precision, distance between contour lines, would you need to map your land to make / work on a proper design ? Thanks in advance!

    • @amillison
      @amillison  Před 3 lety +3

      Didio, it really depends on the slope you're working with. Usually I get maps with 2' contour intervals and that is very detailed for most landscapes. But recently I have consulted for some properties that were pretty flat and we needed 6 inch contour intervals to really distinguish the land form. With a Lidar survey, you can get as detailed as you'd like, although at some point even grasses will start to distort the contours from Lidar. So ultimately, it depends on your topography.

      From what I understand, no land is perfectly flat. Experiment with an A-frame to see. Check out "West Texas Garden Experiment " CZcams channel on how he built his swales. He also devised a really cool, simple, modified A-frame.
