ABSOLUTELY 💯

It's funny. We were just communicating about this the other day. Did I help give you an idea? 😊😉😊 Keep up the good work.

This is the most common clip ever..

Over the years I've observed that different kinds of trees have different "mothering instincts" when it comes to various seedlings. To clarify, different species will support better growth of their own kind. And, some will even help other species along. The best one I've noticed is the Eastern Hemlock. They will "mother" almost any seedlings in their vicinity. So, having a mature one is a blessing to all. On the other hand, black walnuts don't like company as much. And, cedar trees are downright violent to any species but their own. I've poked around and found there is a little research to support my observations. If there weren't, I probably wouldn't have mentioned any of this. As, although it would still be a good hypothesis. No real conclusion could be made. So, it wouldn't be valid science.

10:20. With this issue I take the Spock approach; environmental metrics are the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

good vid! reminds me of the half earth concept. and i agree! conservation is an issue that is connected to every other. its not enough to ask how much land is enough, but we must also ask how can we change our resource extraction processes, how our living spaces look (an end to suburban sprawl), how our transportation is organized (less cars means less fragmentation through roads) etc etc etc. i have hope though. the beauty of the vastness of scope is that we get to imagine an entirely new future

Hello sir, Do you know about KZbin video SEO and how it works? If you complete proper SEO on your videos, the changes in your video views, subscribers and after that will be viral on your videos as soon as possible

Without knowing it, I planted a mini forrest using this method. I started 10 years ago and it is almost mature now. Sitting on the edge of this forest is quite calming.

I really think I like your work. You seem smart and honest. That said, I really prefer the non-clickbait type titles.

😊 It's good to see progress, big and little. A man in Tucson Arizona started breaking holes in the curbside to let rainwater flow into his yard instead of into the storm drain. This wasn't legal at the time, but he kept doing it at strategic areas along the streets to utilize the water instead of wasting it. Now it has become a normal part of city planning.

Regenerative Agricultural practices coupled with appropriate Permaculture techniques is an imperative for the health of the Land, therefore our food supply.

Thank you for making this essential content. I wish we could go back in time and develop society in a way that is more cohesive with nature but sadly here we are. I get hope from people like you bring awareness to these ideas:)

more nepotism ...

I tried going to the link about how much habitat is enough, for some reason the link wasn't working.

Woody debris lol

You have really good content, I don't know why your channel has not reached a wider audience. I hope it does soon.

A perfect way for one person to make a difference.

Great video! It’s definitely interesting to reconsider approaches that, even when trying to do right by nature, may still be coming from an overly anthropocentric perspective.

I just read an article that here in Arizona, "exurbs" are increasing which are housing developments even further from a city than a suburb. Meaning more wildlife areas being used/destroyed and more gas required to get to town for necessities. I was hoping "walkable cities" would catch on here, but there's a lot of people who think it's just an evil plot of the ruling elite to away our freedoms.

You deserve more followers 🙌

Hi 👋. Hope you are doing well. I saw your video it's great and authentic 😍. I really like your video. But your video views are not increasing 😢. No worries I'm a freelancer my work youtube seo and Promotion. I can help you if you want 😊

I've been able to see how the mycelial network has influenced my garden. When I moved to my property 21 years ago, the garden was just an open field, extremely overgrazed, very thin, patchy soil. It lay between 2 established woodlands that were at least a few hundred years old. To both protect the house from strong winds and bridge the two woodlands, I planted a mixed hedgerow right across the top of the garden. Even though I started in the middle of the hedgerow (to begin sheltering the house down the hill first), and took a few years to finally reach the ends of the hedgerow - it was the two ends that grew the fastest and the healthiest. Indeed, I had to replant gaps in the middle of the hedge up to 5 times. But at both ends, where the youngest trees and shrubs connected with the woodlands, I never suffered any losses. To this day, pruning the ends of this hedgerow is a mammoth task. In the middle, it barely needs any attention. Once, I realised that fungi were fruiting at the ends of this hedge, and nowhere else in the garden, I guessed they were helping and began introducing lots of different types of fungi all around the garden, experimenting with root dips, mushing caps in water to use as a feed, and clearing grass to leave fungi caps to spore over bare soil (they all work, so there's no need to go to much trouble. Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, used the fungi in water feed method for his trees).

tree's are more connected and operating in a healthy way than Man kind has EVER been

Thanks for the video. I applaud you publicizing permaculture/food forests/perennial agriculture for those not familiar. However, given you have PhD, some time for video editing and a desire to put out clear and accurate, perhaps in future videos you could keep the more subtle aspects of your videos consistent: - when dialogue mentions permaculture food mostly you show annual agriculture shots (granted these are much more available to scrape on the web). Annual agriculture has a small part to play in food forests, but doesn't fit as well as perennials - when dialogue mentions renewable energy, you show a solar farm over baked soil. Agrivoltaics (solar panels at least over grass, and even better over shade loving crops and/or grazing land) is pretty obviously a more permaculture approach. Granted some places only have baked soil, but expecting people new to this area to understand this subtlety means they aren't new. - a worldwide "criticism" of permaculture is that it looks messy in the beginning and in maturity (per what people are used to). Rightly or wrongly, this idea exists. You called out how the food forest plot didn't look like much. So, perhaps use footage of mature food forests from around the world. The viewers only experience from your video likely looks like a mess to their sensibilities. You can counter this with more balanced footage (not just the negative side). - Biophilia is a big aspect human health for which research has blossomed in the last decade. You did mention some human health benefits in passing. Walking through a food forest vs a field of corn might have been a bigger emphasis. - When trying to build credibility in presenting a new concept, don't have spelling mistakes in your text. Much harder to take you seriously especially given the PhD mention. - You mentioned food sovereignty in text, but really didn't explore this. For anyone experienced in the field it's obvious, but to viewers new to the idea I'm not sure that your video helps especially given the promotional text. - You mentioned habitat sequestration, but the food forest is a small plot surrounded by what appears to be mown grass. Of course it's a start, but maybe mentioning the further work needed to actually connect that habitat to others. Unfortunately, if I looked at this as someone new to the concept and only used your video, I'd see permaculture as a good concept supported by poor reasoning and poor implementation. Not what you were going for I'm sure, but I'd rather not have people turned away from permaculture. Maybe check out Geoff Lawton or the channel Canadian Permaculture Legacy (lives a short drive from you). They do a decent job of presenting concepts with backup and context. Sorry for the lack of happy talk.

I love how when he says improving crop yields it cuts to wheat, a wind pollinated plant.

Walking over uneven ground strengthens ankles and is a more thorough workout than walking on flat ground. So it's good for all but the most frail.

I think the pandemic changed opinion in my country (UK) too. Most people are now resentful of any hints that we may have to restrain ourselves in any way - after total restraint during lockdowns (when government officials were demonstrating they were doing anything but). Also, the words carbon tax. It just feels like we're all paying the government extras here and there in the name of the environment - and while the environment is visibly no better off, the government doing nothing for the environment with these taxes that we can see, the rich (especially the political rich) do better and better, while the rest of us get significantly poorer (look up the extremely rapid increase in poverty and homelessness in British citizens). It's like all those that 'have' are telling the 'have nots' what to do (while advertising more shiny baubles in the faces of the weak-willed, the rest of us knowing those baubles are yet another thing impacting the environment). We're fed up of being given the same climate change stories - but seeing nothing done about them. New inventions are discussed - like greener cement...but I have never seen a bag of this cement for sale in any local DIY store. There's always talk of similar inventions and devices, but they are either out of our price range (I do not have £30,000 for an off-grid set-up) or they're never mentioned again. We hear of plans for some new project. Such as Boris Johnson's new 300,000km hedgerows that were to thread their way around Britain. Sunak came into power and told farmers to rip up more hedgerows if they were in the way. There is no consistency. Ancient trees are ripped up for a railway that has now been shelved. We see nothing but examples of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. We're politically jaded. We have been taught to believe in nothing they say, to believe all promises will be broken. And it doesn't help to hear that all the richest (and in a survival and practical sense, the most useless) have built bunkers, so they can leave us to it when the climate collapsed. So, it's a case of the masses giving up. I don't even 'bother' to watch news items on climate-related disasters any more. Isn't that awful? That I've watched with dread and concern for those caught up in wildfires, floods and storms 'so many times,' that I haven't spent one minute following what's going on in Brazil or anywhere else for weeks now. Disasters have become normal. And I dare say that as the hundreds turn to thousands, tens, hundreds of thousands, to millions - that will become normal too. If the government of any country wants people to 'reconnect' with the climate crisis and engage with it - they 'must' show that they're through with subsidising fossil fuels (which is the biggest 'mixed message' the public receives). Governments must throw out politicians with vested interests in fossil fuels and big industry. Governments must finance large projects that do not include rewilding current farmland (risking jobs and shifting food dependency onto other nations). They must be consistent about green projects (300,000km of new hedgerows must mean exactly that). They must make projects accessible for the public. Nothing instils greater effort than including citizens in tree planting projects and offering more opportunities (through rewilding gardens, registration into 'no mow' schemes) so they feel a greater part of it. So they feel included as part of a global movement. We're sociable creatures and take pride in being part of a brotherhood towards a common goal. Don't you think? It's how we all come together in very difficult times like WW2. So, it's lack of consistency, lack of action, lack of ideas on the parts of governments, and lack of personal opportunities to participate, lack of accomplishment, lack of being able to view results as far as the general public is concerned.

Perfect! I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal, majored in sylviculture and re-wilding the place, go good humans!

We’re tryna turn a little piece of land on the pavement of a busy road into a little permaculture garden , anyone experienced ,pls do help

Great video, love this content, especially locally! 🌳

This is a word salad of progressive statements. Nothing backing it up

Nice to see a new channel highlighting permaculture. The more places we permaculturists can trade hints and tips the better for all concerned. Anyone still thinking of starting in permaculture must realise that it's now time to stop procrastinating and begin your project in earnest. Food plant prices 'are' going up. Seed prices have gone up significantly. (I've never seen such an increase in seed prices as I have over the past 12 months. A sign of economic stress for merchants trying to find successful sources of seed?) Could I just point out something with regard to the new permaculture project being worked in the video? I notice that plastic is being used as a mulch. That is something I did right at the beginning of my own project. However, the problem with plastic is, it is constantly shedding micro and nanoplastic particles onto the soil. I know soil is being contaminated by plastic from outside sources, but we don't really want to add to this worsening issue. Animals burrow and shred plastic, small rodents tearing bits off to line burrows. Storm winds can catch hold of it and, before you know it, you're spending a whole day picking shreds of ripped plastic out of your gooseberry bushes. Worse still, sheets might blow away onto other land where it won't be collected, or perhaps onto passing cars. I have never stopped picking up or digging up tiny shreds of plastic since I made the mistake of using it as mulch. Instead of plastic, I use brown cardboard boxes, which I pick up for free in small supply from shops when I go for my weekly grocery shop. Shopkeepers are only too happy to give them away (since they have to pay hundreds of pounds in the UK to have trade refuse collected, and I don't doubt it's the same in America and elsewhere). Cardboard can be weighted down (by using those old bits of brick or large stones you 'thought' you had no use for. Take it from me, unless you have a stupid amount of stones and bricks, keep them piled somewhere. You will need them eventually). Ensure the boxes are as plain as possible. That cheap brown card only, black print is fine. Don't use prints of other colours. You can use natural materials to disguise the brown cardboard. Most people use woodchips, but I won't use that stuff. For starters, it isn't cheap where I live. It certainly doesn't come free. There's a possibility of introducing serious diseases and fungal problems (like Honey Fungus). Also, a real forest floor isn't covered in wood chips. It's covered in leaves, perhaps a few pine cones, pine needles, some twigs, a few rotting branches, and inly a relatively small amount of bark. Where I have cardboard down, I mimic that mixture as best I can, adding kitchen scraps to the mix, but always making sure the latter is covered in a presentable layer of dead leaves. The card boxes don't last long, a couple of months in my climate. So it's more labour intensive, unless you have the means to put down several layers of card at once. That will last longer They rot down to add a very nice texture to the soil. Great for clay, chalk or pale soils. (My soil was originally quite yellowish in colour, but now it is a good mid to deep brown in many places, due to long term use of different natural mulching materials in alliance with boxes). Another valuable lesson I learned the hard way was a need for a 'quiet corner' for wildlife. Trying to integrate them over the whole area doesn't quite work as well as having 'wildlife only' zones. This corner has several brash heaps of different sizes, where I stack prunings, twigs, leaves, dried out brambles, or specially collected branches with fungi I specifically want to introduce to my garden. These brash heaps rot down to compost in time, but before they get there they are havens for wildlife - nesting birds, frogs, newts, lizards, all manner of beetles and other insects. This quiet zone also has a number of fruit bearing plants that are for wildlife only. I absolutely leave these plants alone at harvest time and wildlife will frequent those more than the ones nearer human activity. (Use Elderberries, Rowans, Blackberries and Raspberries). Bring in a pond. I have miniponds all around the garden, most with piles of stones or branches next to them where amphibians can shelter. I'm currently in the midst of building a larger pond in a part of the garden that doesn't have one. Unlike many schemes, I do not seek to kill off all the grasses and never mow what grass I have either. I know it's an issue in areas where there is a problem with Lyme's disease, and I don't blame snyone for tackling it (having pulled out a couple of ticks from myself, I know how painful that is and how nerve-wracking it is to await possible symptoms. No fun at all). But I take the chance because leaving grass to do its own thing allows wild flowers to quietly come in through more wildlife interaction with the land. Wild flowers bring in more pollinators and, more importantly, predatory insects. I had an awful problem with a type of weevil at one time. Had to go out daily and pick over several plants that were infested. Then a weird type of large black fly came along, hanging around some new plants at the top of the hill - and the weevils are well under control now. Well, I wish you luck with both your channel and updates on this new permaculture project. Will be good to see how it progresses.

Awesome video, I have a small pollinator garden(200m2) in a big city and its awesome to see the diversity over the year, they are not just useful they can be really beautiful.

I’m establishing a food forest in my own community, starting with an established orchard and working from there. Documenting it here: kzbin.info/aero/PLqLbiZobZZj-2hVCpQgMt_VskxkWKiR3Y&si=L7pSRMCgvRXAdce6

I love finding small and educational channels like these! Thanks for sharing!

We need more of this but with more native edible foods. Or just new and fun ones like breadfruit or soap apple use for well soap

Great video

Here is a BIGGER PROBLEM than climate change (and not coincidentally the largest contributor to it) (and also the reason why industrial agriculture has become a problem): authoritarian governments and states. Want sustainable, natural, and moral government? Learn about #VOLUNTARYISM and the #NonAggressionPrinciple.

Great work man ✌🏻

Great video, love the permaculture movement and the indigenous history that is involved in it. Loved the showing of local locations. Keep up the work :)

Food forests are great! I started one about 5 years ago and now have fruit filled trees. Still eating peaches that I froze from last year. 🌳🍑

How can I get involved? I live in Prague, Czech Republic

I think a bat box would work well in the garden to reduce the amount of mosquitoes and create a functional ecosystem

Yesss!!!!! More biodiversity!!!! Love to see butterflies and native perennials out and about whenever possible. Awesome vid thanks for sharing

Make chem fertilizers and chem fungicides illegal. Regenerative agriculture is the way forward.

I have a mini forest in my backyard I have an old car and old van wow a couple cars a couple of actually a half dozen in my Forest
