It's amazing how much knowledge I have accumulated from Geoff since the three days in a row, in which I did not sleep, because I was too interested in the videos of an free online training course about permaculture. (Not kidding, I did not sleep until I got done.) That was a lot of videos. I did use much of the information for turning my yard into a food forest. Been a fan since then.

In France we call them "mauvaises herbes" which translates to "bad herbs".... terrible isn't it? But thanks to permaculture we now call them "advantices" (or "early herbs"). Words are important. Our understanding is changing, slowly but surely. Great video! "Merci" for sharing :)

I appreciate this video so much. currently live next to neighbors who have tilled their yard and extracted every visible pièce of organic matter in order to stop a bishop weed /goutweed "infestation". needless to say it keeps coming back because they leave the soil just sitting there, empty and exposed. I'm going to clean up the ivy and goutweed a bit on our border to keep them happy but man come on. after seeing this I remember that the wide-spreading roots are probably there to stop erosion. ❤ thanks Geoff.

I so want to take his course in Jordan, some day Lord-willing! His work in dry desert lands is so incredible because it's relevant to us who live in those conditions and still work so hard to grow and create abundance in the most difficult climates. Thank you for all you do Geoff!

Hey, I believe that this system is getting me back to my roots. My fathers' side of the family has grown food and owned farms forever. My grandfather had a farm in Cali that looked very similar to what you showed on Zatuna. At least part of it. The difference is that he was retired and had only 12 years to develop his crops after retirement from the military. He was laid to rest in 82. I am glad that I strived to get my acreage and find this system. I am watching your and Bills videos at the moment. Good stuff. The book is awesome also. Nothing like a college text to study. Thanks again.

Trucks, concrete waste was on it all winter. Completely devoid of life. In the spring over 200 beautiful poppies came up. Interesting thing is we never had poppies in our garden ;). Looked absolutely beautiful and better yet the owner got to see mother nature's "middle finger" all summer lol we've saved 100's of thousands of seeds and will spread.

Now that was an excellent presentation, the different functions weeds can provide to heal the earth. In my urban garden I often let the weeds grow, some of them are great to eat and far more nutritious than supermarket stuff. I only really try to reduce their numbers if they start taking over Being able to read soil issues from what grows is something I'd never thought of so a big thank you for that. Guess I'd better subscribe now :)
