I took my PDC from Nicholas. Great course!
Has anyone ever been to Israel? They live by Abba Father's way of farming.
Thank you for the upload Gentlemen. I am digging it! 🙂
For bees, I have found them to be far easier than chickens. Check out Leo Sharashkins way of bee keeping the natural and ancient way. Been a breeze for these 4 seasons I’ve had them. The honey, wax, propolis, and bee bread are sooooo worth it! Perhaps permaculture is a set of principles and techniques to optimize Gods natural creation for the meeting of man’s needs and the benefit of the Earth.
Be blessed!
Please we want to hear application to your method not your feelings about it
How do I find a good farm to work on?
Slot of info about homesteading, and now I want to do it more than ever.
Permaculture sounds neat, now how do I do it?
mahalo guys … the Hawaiians had it figured out ….
Nicholas is a really interesting guy to talk to. Looking forward to starting his course!
Mulberry is hella invasive from my experience, the birds eat the berries and crap them everywhere and you are constantly battling little mulberry bushes growing up everywhere, oof. Probably works better on a very large property where you can stick it way in the back and run over it's invasive offspring with a tractor if you need to
Had a great time chatting with him at the Mother Earth news fair. Great guy.
Be careful of the people you bring into it. The wrong people can suck the life ,energy,and resources out of your experience.
I believe if everyone had their own homestead and had to grow their own food and do what needed to be done or do or grow something to barter with otters it would be closer to heaven on earth.
Ugh, this guy is soooo long winded. He needs to just answer a question or explain a concept and not give so much back story. Alot of good information, just too technical and involved.
Do you have a recommendation for books on permaculture?
question: how do you guys make money for taxes and other expenses?
So excited to listen to this one!
A mulberry tree is the nastiest tree. It stains your house & clothes & doesn't wash out. It removes paint from your vehicles & machinery. They are full of seeds & it doesn't taste good. The birds eat it and poop purple stains on your laundry on the clothesline & including the other things I mentioned.
Never seen clothes made from mulberry.
The wood is not good to burn for heat nor to smoke other foods. The trees are always shedding bark & limbs making more work than it's worth. I chop them all down & give the wood away to people for their bonfires. Not worth my time.
This was not helpful in permaculture design. This was more about "feelings" & how "I think" people don't understand permaculture.
I was hoping for more "design" teachings. Placement, companions, regeneration, zones etc.
