Make Your Life Easier w/ Permaculture Zones

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Everything I do is based on my age and zones. That's why everyone askes how we get so much done. It mostly takes care of itself.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’ve visited a lot of homesteads and yours is by far the most efficient I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to get back down there to learn more!

[@justaghost1014]

I need to find out more about zones. Yes I'm information poor

[@tabp8448]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 loving your channel and information. Found you from Danny and Wanda a few days ago and been binge watching. They do have one of the most clean, organized and efficient homesteads of any I've seen. Very inspired by your videos and will be copying many of your families' ideas soon, God willing. Foresight is better than 2020 hindsight! Happy belated birthday! And thank you for sharing your time, your family, and most importantly, your knowledge.

Good afternoon, from the Church and lunch now watching your video . Learning a lot now in everything you do, thank you.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a million!

“Form follows function.” One of the mantras I learned from Dad was “Use a drop of brain sweat to save a gallon of back sweat.” The older and more decrepit I get, the more I appreciate the wisdom of foresight and planning. Your plantings now, while you are able to plant, will feed you with harvests long after you can do no more than harvest. That is a retirement plan that doesn’t depend on government or any other sources.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Perfectly stated!

[@journeyoflovelight]

Your retirement plan is way better than a 401K and more sustainable. Thanks for the great info.- Melanie

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Amen to that!

Oh I love it and Happy Birthday! You had an angel(your Honey) in the garden,the sun was shinning through her hair and it made a beautiful back ground.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

She’s something else!

I’m starting a small backyard garden. Taking a lot of my Billy lessons into consideration as I plan it out. Thank you for putting out great content, promoting self sufficiency, and encouraging community.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much my friend!

The driveway orchard is coming along beautifully. I suspect zoning is challenging for many people because when you typically think of landscaping it's usually for aesthetic rather than functional reasons. So by default, you might want to put the chickens around back where the guests won't see them, rather than where it would be most convenient to interact with them.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I think I could’ve summed up this entire video by quoting your response here.

[@robbielynnhowle]

This is sooo true👏🏻👏🏻

[@justaghost1014]

Complaining fixes nothing. Thanks for helping with feeding the world

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you my friend!

[@Skashoon]

One of your first videos I watched rooted the zone concept in my head. I started the CToS next to my driveway, then started the garden on that same run once I moved the CToS to the next row. Now it’s simple to move finished compost to the garden. The chickens and pigs will run sequentially as it moves down the slope. The pigs are still skittish so I haven’t yet moved them out to pasture. A bit more bucket training is also needed. I’m also nervous about losing them because I have no perimeter fence. It is planned but unfunded, (like so many projects here.) Discovered 2 more comfrey plants that just popped up. So never give up hope, it may take a month or more, but they will find a way. Btw, my pups love it too.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

That’s awesome bro!

[@ghostcraft9343]

Yah those comfrey plants are fun, I thought all of mine were dead for over two months then they start shooting up out of nowhere

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Happy belated birthday Billy. Your land is beautiful.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you my friend!

[@GinaSiska]

Billy, you’re the king of ‘work smarter, not harder’!

[@shodson314]

Super happy you visited Deep South because I am learning so much from you! This past week, we planted fig, mulberry, plum trees and several more blueberry bushes in close proximity to our house because we are planning for aging too! Planted several comfrey we got from you alongside the fruit trees. Also, this past week, I had son stop at the side of the road and grab some pods from a mimosa tree that I plan to plant one or two nearby to use as chop and drop. Thank you for what you do!!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! I am so happy for your progress!

[@angelacross2216]

I love efficiencies too. Lean is where it’s at.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’m right there with you my friend!

[@pacificpermaculture]

I agree build it for an older you,not 20 year old you.Stacking functions is cool.It's the Permaculture way of saying "work smart not hard " .

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

You said it all right there my friend!

[@homesteadingpastor]

Happy Belated Birthday Billy! Yes sir efficiency is key for sure! I love y’all’s setup! Enjoyed this video! 👍🏻🙌🏻😊😊

Happy Birthday!! You do look very young and have a youthful energy when you talk permaculture! 😁 Thank you for being so willing to share information, teach others practical techniques AND explain why it all works so well by literally doing it while you are talking about it. You truly are efficient and I appreciate that quality in your content.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Another great video !!!

[@ghostcraft9343]

This is great! The fundamentals are the most important part of anything. And is your comfrey they variety that flowers and spreads on its own or the type that is spread through planting the roots?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

This Russian variety stays put.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Looking good Billy.

“That’s another story all together”😂😂… we waiting on the other nine stories…

[@julie-annepineau4022]

Happy Birthday! Is it possible to build the compost mulch ring too high around you trees? Would it cause root rot in damp climates? Or shallow roots and make it unstable in winds?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’ve never had any problems even when it was 3’ tall.

[@WindyBrookRidgeHomestead]

I need to implement this in my life! I have a commercial flower farm all organic! I need some advice on master plan planning! haha

[@karamarco5002]

Thank you for all the great content! I had a question about compost...long story but I am not doing hot compost and I found rat holes in my compost. Can I still use in my garden?

[@LadysFarm]

Wow 🤯

[@dwighthires3163]

I have been thinking about chickpeas to add nitrogen to my soil. What do you think of using it around fruit trees? Would that work or do I really need mimosa as a perennial rather than the annual nature of chickpea? Would not chickpea kick start my system faster while waiting for black locust or mimosa to really root and thrive?

[@ЛарисаЧупрова-щ6щ]

Если нет куриц? ? Где взять столько компоста! !!???
