Permaculture

[fr3d420]

Oh come on you fag tards... 240p??? really???? HD cameras are CHEAP. get one.

[gabehampton]

You should watch the video Permaculture Concepts . It is a documentary about Bill Mollison is by far the best video series I have found on Permaculture on Youtube. He is the one who dreamed it up. He stayed in a rainforest for 9 years as a scientist. and studied the relationships between things and came up with the idea of growing a food forest from the ground up and grew many large forests like this all over the world that never need to be maintained. They just generate food forever.

[buddykoerner]

What a great Video.

Check out Bill Mollison. he is the man with the plan!

[shlaxberg]

booftnesm me!!! but seriously i have had many a case of premature booftnesm

[aihlo]

i'd watch "farms for the future" (on the internet) if you want a good idea of what this guy is actually talking about

[aihlo]

woohoo

[chuckthelumberjack]

I don't like this guy.

[popeymike]

who gardens in white and stays clean?! Great vid though.

[govindas999]

newspapers contain LEAD...deadly poison!

[hansgepunkt]

depends on the oxidation state of the lead.

[lavenderdawnstar]

@govindas999 - newspaper ink has been based on soy for quite some time now. It is even recommended by Rodale (organic gardening) to use as mulch.

[nasanction]

Are pine needles any good for a garden? I may remove the tree's from my property if they don't help.

[pinknruby]

not really. they will turn your soil acidic which most plants don't appreciate. x

[merrilyme]

@nasanction Pine needles can be good. It just depends on what your ground needs.

"That's some crazy stuff man" So funny...

[ElDylanos]

Studs get stalkers.

Who's paying you Patricia ? The NDP or the Liberals ?

You're no match for this guy sweetie. Let it go.

[patricia435]

Oh! I recognize this guy! He kept hitting on my girlfriend up in St-Sauveur. She told me he kept boasting about how successful an actor he was. It took her forever to get rid of him! Keep it up! Viagara falls

[Ullbritt]

LOL

[TheVitalist]

Same comments over a period of 6 months under different names - Weird, obsessive, freaky get a life

[onecheshirecat]

The Vitalist is right, newspaper is fine to use as mulch, we use it all the time in our eco-village. The world has alot of it right now... where would it be better used?

[TheVitalist]

And in a world where planting is one of the most subversive and radical actions a person can take, i say plant wherever you can, because you make the soil all the more viable the more you feed it with organic material.

[TheVitalist]

Newsprint black ink is soy-based and just fine to use for mulch. It's the glossy paper and colored ink that you shouldn't use. I agree, it would be best not to have newspapers to begin with, but then again, the revolution is a work in progress, so while we have newspapers, we might as well use them to regenerate the soil. It is organic material, after all.

[latinamajor]

I don't get his mulching strategy... as I understand it, if you take green material, chop it and leave it decompose, the decomposition process leeks nutrients out of the soil.

He says he is feeding his tree but he is actually stealing nutrients from the tree TWICE... first, the plant growing next to the tree is competing for nutrients and water and then the plant matter hacked off is further leaching nutrients as it decomposes...

I am so confused...

[meloearth]

I know...I've been looking at vid after vid on this subject and complaining at how NONE explains How-To; this one almost did, but not really. I guess we need to resort to good old books. Sheesh, why can't someone just explain the basics???

[samos82]

some plants take the nitrogen out of the air and store it in the roots. you then chop the plant and leave the roots which then break down and renew the soil addingnitrogen from the air.

[kaxiaz]

This is a great key

[highskilledsibby]

@meloearth True. I would love to know some plant combinations for middle europe for an ordinairy permacultre flower bed. Never found a vid about that.

[SCODgreenhood]

Exactly green. *****

[arunoaj]

Burying newspaper and growing on its toxic remains in a polluted urban environment... yes, you're a chump. So many thumbs down for that idea!!

[soulongod]

That's some crazy stuff mang.

[SilverSilouin]

Tellement simple !

[droserabinata]

I wish it were summer. This vid makes me want to plant something.

[pillbug123]

thanks for a permaculture video that actually shows some permaculture instead of just talking about it. To all other permaculturist this is what we need EXAMPLES of action.

[lokidj01]

@pillbug123 Permaculture is simply a design system and ethics. The actual "doing" is just gardening. if you want to know the techniques, buy John Seymours "The Self Sufficient life and how to live it". It is an amazing book that tells you everything from how to plant, care, prepare food from the garden field, animals and dairy. Another good book is Gaia´s garden.

There are also a lot of good vids like:

/watch?v=ugFd1JdFaE0

The "Global gardener series" and "In danger of falling fruit"

[Kohl93]

burying the newspaper to help plants is possibly the best use i've seen for the newspaper since the bottom of the bird cage. its certainly not worth reading anymore. peace :)

[arunoaj]

Newsprint contains plenty of toxins. I'd never put it in my soil! My solution is to put up a no junk-mail sign and stop buying newspapers. There are other ways to mulch. :)

[freesouljah]

right on...very cool...

[zezt]

very inspiring video.

and errrm i aint seen no 'cultish' or 'extremist' permaculture videos,,,,?

[8rf]

In my favorites. They are called "Permaculture concept". You can find them all on my favorites. Part 1 - 6. Watch it. It is the best that I saw on youtube.

[seagul71]

Finally a balanced, not cultish or extreamist introduction to permaculture!

[8rf]

Check out the "Permaculture Concept" videos about Bill Mollison.

[stockdad]

Good intro and fabulous hair!

[nancypo1]

Nice small intro to permaculture with some good ideas!

[permakent]

Permaculture, yeah. Also look for "seedballs" (within the permaculture idea) as a no-labor way to plant, with natural pepper insect and bird repellent included. And look for "forest garden" (another permaculture application) with seven layers of plants grown together to provide ten months of food each year.

[therealmag]

I prefer sepp holzer's method. Get a bag, fill it with your special blend of seeds, walk around throwing the seeds.

Throwing clay balls all over my garden doesn't appeal to me.
