1 Acre Homestead Tour 5 YEARS INTO ABUNDANCE with Erik Ohlsen [FULL MOVIE]

[@unbakedrecipes2414]

This is the true Eden Garden right here. You sir should be teaching this stuff to our children in schools. Well done. Amazing results for just 5 years

[@richardbarry04553]

Nature and especially plants have all the answers and the solutions to the problems we’re facing on Earth - we need to start working with nature rather than constantly fighting it

[@daBlyyzee]

This guy talks like a new age pastor Bringing me back to not-so-fond times

[@LisaGray1000]

Appreciated the detail around your water system. We are putting an offer on 1 acre property today so its fun to watch this

[@pewpewkachew4735]

well did you get it?

[@lcotee]

3 years ago? That was the most inspiring thing ever! How had I never seen it before?

[@thepoorelephant4978]

Makes me so happy to see someone who understands and shepherds nature to a mutual benefit. Nature is significantly smarter than we are. Great job dude, your breadth and depth of knowledge are priceless.

[@tkomla]

Yes, yes, yes to tending public spaces! And thank you for your work.

[@humanbeingnotahumandoing1]

Thank you so much for this inspiring video of yours! Your outlook is very beautiful and motivates me!

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

Thank you for being here!!

[@richardbarry04553]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen!

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

Thank you Richard! That's high praise!! It is likely my best video cinematography-wise so far (I only have a few 2 camera and this is the first 2 camera with movement), so I really appreciate your comment :) :) :)

[@richardbarry04553]

Matt Powers - The Permaculture Student The content and the presentation are really fantastic - Erik gets it like I’ve never heard anyone get it. This is more or less the trajectory I’ve been on the last few years.

[@chrystalcarter7822]

Erik Ohlsen, one of my favourite teachers you introduced me to through your courses. I'm currently on a 3 acre hobby farm / homestead. Although we are renting, I have been working towards a system like Erik's since I moved in two years ago. I know there is a high chance that I may not directly benefit fully from all the effort I have put into this place, but that doesn't matter to me . The skills I have learned and the changes I have put into the land here will be felt for generations both to whomever lives her and all who live in this community because there will be so much abundance produced on this property that whoever lives here will have no choice but to share it with their neighbours and their community. Part of my own learning process has been to immediately share my new skills with my community as I acquire them, so even before the season properly begun, I've already shared my prep work through the newsletters, community events and through the community garden at the local hall that I am in the process of setting up. From little seeds, beautiful gardens grow! Much Love, Chrystal

😍Love the idea of a "circle of apple 🍎 trees🌳" Imagine the beautiful ring of apple blossoms! 💮💮💮 Someone will have to get some drone footage of that! 🙌

My dream to build a self sustaining food forest! Food, Medicine and connection! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nicklomas6017]

This is the best utube production on regenerative permaculture The self explained audio,backed up by actual results is astounding. Love the bit when u explain work with nature as participants not try and control nature. Absolutely loved the whole thing,thanks for sharing Nick London England

[@linlaymoutou3872]

Hi. Nice video. Start following you from Mauritius

[@solmassages9732]

OMGODDESS!! He is so inspiring!!

[@11281Cherry]

Wow, what wisdom regarding the water system! We are buying four acres to transform into this style of farming, so this is so exciting. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge

[@thisgardenofmind2714]

This is definitely one of your best videos!

[@jayanathdealwis2584]

what a great presenter. Thanks for giving so much knowledge.

[@stuartgodric8011]

Love this guys passion though watching this video.

[@caseG80]

This has to become the normal what have we been doing? why have we been taught all this pick up bag up trash can after trash can, fighting weed after weed it’s insane and so difficult what was just explained is simple as it gets. My mind is blown I’m not new to these ways but I’m certainly still at the beginning of change for my land and unfortunately still having to fight others around me to put these steps into effect. Thanks 🙏🏻 awesome 👏🏻 video loved the water management. Cheers

[@barryminor616]

Thank YOU

[@stuartgodric8011]

That was a beautiful amount of time bro.

[@EcosystemDesignConsulting]

Great stuff. Thank you for sharing this.

[@cpnotill9264]

Wow Matt thank you for sharing and producing this for us. So many points well stated with ideas to put into practice and reinforced my direction. Such a short period of time of five years with his help, vision and allowing nature to do what it does best. Thank you! 😁🌱❣️👍🦋

[@jnutoob]

This is really nice summary vid, Matt. Thanks!

[@TheCarsonrjones]

Your passion is abundant. Thanks for sharing it and your knowledge.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Eat it off the vine! Awesome stuff!

[@LearningyourRoots]

What do you do for a living? Wondering if I can sustain a permaculture while sustaining myself economically

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I'd like to know that also. Small amount of veggie sales (weekly csa type boxes) helps with seed & tool start up, but medical job makes the farm payment.

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

He's the founder of multiple regenerative businesses - he owns a permaculture landscaping company, a design company, a site that hosts CSA's, he teaches courses, and he writes books... and there's likely more too. Erik Ohlsen will be teaching about all this at www.R-Future.world Jan 14-18th for FREE, so signup today & don't miss out on the full story!!! :) :) :)

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

@@fourdayhomestead2839 Permaculture pays for his food forest ;) he owns many businesses that offer a variety of regenerative permacultural services.

So awesome!

Awesome man! Reseeding brushes💚 Fig info💚 Water tank to pond💚

[@aaronfishkin8724]

Love the wood lot! You guys ever consider a small hemp plot for wood products?!

[@irinabelichenko8611]

It’s easy to say if you live in California. We live in west Texas. From spring to late fall is is hot and dry weather condition with the high wind and no rain for few years.

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

I have friends who've greened Saudi Arabian desert with just earthworks and trees - it can be done. It just takes greater effort and time if we are in those kind of circumstances.

[@bluemountaincottage]

Thanks for sharing

[@jamessang5027]

I want to challenge you, with your knowledge of permaculture, 1. What would you suggest to Sonoma County about how to stop the hill fires. 2. What would you recommend to my Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency to refill our water aquifers?

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

I have done several talks on this over the years - Erik Ohlsen has his solutions as well. It's completely doable. Already proven many times over on the small scale here in CA and on larger scales in harsher climates all over the world.

[@memilm]

can you write a list with the plants you spoke from in this video? thanks!

[@jbuck1975]

I've been wondering about running a pipe underground and then back up into a barrel. I was thinking it would work if barrel was lower

[@sundancer442]

Great vid. Just remember, in hot/arid zones, you can't coppice eucalyptus trees.

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

[@PermacultureArtisans]

The real question is what ARE the coppice plants for hot/arid zones? Every fire ecology has them.

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

[@sundancer442]

@@PermacultureArtisans I use Tacoma trees. Geoff Lawten uses them.Watch his 'Greening the Desert series' , especially the 'Tree tours' as he shows the best trees or pollard or coppice.

[@newkingjames1757]

How big around is the rain garden for your 10 apple trees? What's the diameter?

[@merrickb9559]

Where are you located? Thank you for sharing such a great informational video. I love Matt Powers, and I def love you Bro. Thank you

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

This is Sebastopol CA right near our site in Guerneville :) :) :)

Matt Powers - The Permaculture Student. Right on. I grew up in So Cal. You rock. Take care Bro.

[@BenZolno]

oh, those I remember those Jerusalem sages!

[@stuartgodric8011]

So weird and hippy but a darn good point. Great video man. Very well put with a solid amount of actual solutions.

[@amberemma6136]

I'm curious how you keep the water and pipe system from freezing in winter? Say you wanted to do that off grid? How do you keep it from freezing

[@11281Cherry]

Can someone advice how we can use the pond system in Kenya where mosquitoes are prevalent, and love stagnant water?

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

Mosquito fish will help, aeration will help, and setting up a mosquito lamp that attracts bugs at night over the water will allow your fish to leap and catch them out of the air!

[@turtlenecks]

Amazing. Has he ever posted a plant list?

[@kimok36]

hi erik, hi guys :) is it possible to have some sub in french language please? my english is quiet limited... thx :)
