@Misty: Microclimates are not "hippy tree hugger propoganda [sic]." On a hot day, stand in the shade of a tree and see if you feel cooler. Also, maybe do some research on how, say, an east aspect differs from the west. Then the north and the south. You'll quickly find, just by going outside and seeing for yourself, that microclimates are in fact real.
There are some very good ideas, except he uses PVC what is highly toxic! its better to use natural clay pipes to transport the waters, also his methods are not very usefully for every location.
@cbmills I cant seem to find any info. Ive seen that the by products of PVC are toxic, during the production phase. Ive seen that burning it releases dioxin which is carcinogenic. I cant seem to find any evidence that supports it as toxic when not being burnt or produced.
Such ignorance! PVC is far from organic and made of very hazardous dangerous toxic synthetic-chemicals throughout its whole life-cycle from production through final use and its not Bio-degradable! it leaches & pollutes the environment. While there are many safe cheap alternatives beside PVC...
organic in a sense of a chemical compound which just means it contains carbon. PVC itself in nature has a half life in the order of 10^5 years, so you're actually right, when you say its barely degradable - but again, its not toxic. Its polymerchains are bound to each other like spaghetti by some very very strong entropic force, which makes it quite inert against water. For a moment accept some scientific facts and leave your idealisms aside
The full video of this 'Farming With Water' Sepp Holzer is probably the best video available on sustainable aquaculture in my opinion. Thanks for posting this clip, great to see it on Youtube.
How can you call microclimates BS when he's growing stuff there that can't normally survive in the region? Results are hard to argue with.

They say in another video that years ago he bought water rights to the wells on neighboring land.

Where is the source of the water? He seems to have an unlimited supply!! This would not work in Texas.

@ase010 how much is it a foot per clay pipe at a 1 inch diameter?

@ase010 are you sure PVC is toxic?

Yes, never use it for incoming drinking water, only wastewater.

PVC is far from toxic, unless you burn it, although it's an organic polymer, artificial and much more difficult to recycle

PVC is one of the most dangerous of all plastics out there, with the most dangerous toxins!
Put the following 'search terms' into Google "PVC highly toxic dangerous poison" straight away about "9,040" search results...

I saw the glory hole for water and all I could think about was Viktor Schauberger and his work with nature and water.
