Aloha Friends!
By watching the video below, you can be with permaculture master Geoff Lawton as he leads us into the peaceful, abundant future we could all share on planet Earth!
In this must-see video, he shows how the inhabitants of Zaytuna Farm live in an abundant, peaceful, earthly paradise that they designed and created!
Not only has Geoff demonstrated once again how to work in harmony with plants and animals to create quick abundance for all, but he also shows the way to work collectively and peacefully with other human beings to complete the circle of abundance.
Some highlights in this video include:
- harvest and save water
- Use gravity to irrigate slopes, create ponds, dams, and a rice-patty.
- Use dribbler pipes and swivel pipes.
- How they garden on a floating garden raft in a pond
- How Muscovie Ducks add fertilizer to the water that flows to water the plants.
- How Turkeys and Cattle enjoy life while adding benefits to the ecosystem.
- Anaerobic bacteria releasing iron oxide on the surface of run-off water.
- recycle and re-purpose old things for new uses
- create quick kitchen gardens
- fertilize naturally
- live off-grid
- Geoff’s perspective about “Designed-Disturbance”, which explains how sometimes permaculture design requires us to disturb the surface of the earth to direct and capture water
- How chickens like to work as minor disturbers, helping create food forests and how they enclose chickens with fencing and move the chickens throughout the food forests.
- See a favorite hand tool called a rice-knife that they use to cut, chop-and-drop.
- See gardens, food forests, interns working,
- See plant-nurseries, the children’s nursery, worm farms, composting systems.
- See unusual yet wonderful crops that are easy to grow.
- Hear how they disfavor plants they don’t want and favor the plants they do want.
- See a fun, unscripted scene featuring Geoff’s dog Possum, who rounds up and captures a wayward chicken and waits for Geoff to come pick it up and put it back into the coop where it belongs!
- Hear Geoff’s straightforward advice on how to choose land for your permaculture system.
- Tips on earth works, using a cover crop of japanese millet and cow pea covers bare earth that was dug only two months earlier.
- Observe how the plants perform and respond to more and less fertile areas of the landscape.
- He finishes by walking through a natural forest, where he loves to visit and observe.
- Plus you get to enjoy Geoff’s pleasant personality throughout the video.
