Wow, very nice video. Expert use of permaculture principles. I really enjoyed the tour. Wish I lived closer so I could visit. Best wishes in your work and please continue with the videos as they are very inspiring.

Impressive work. I love what you have done. Are you up to speed on monsanto and gmo foods? Seedsofdeception~com is a good source for info on this. The only problem is that I wish there were more people just like you everywhere! My best wishes and friend invite are sent to you.

Thanks for putting this video up. I always enjoy seeing practical permaculture examples.

Initial impression was ok whats the big deal here....quickly turning to oh my thats a sweet heavens above awsome setup you have going on there.

However long it took to get, it was worth it fella though am sure your more than aware of that.

I actually was searching about for aquaponic videos and though my knowledge of Permaculture is limited am glad I stumbled across you videos, it more than anything I have come across on the subject has shown me what could potentially be done with such a system.

How would you say the online design course compares to a 72 hour course that is live? It is 75% cheaper than the design course in my neck of the woods.

I'll be taking my first live course this summer so I won't really know until then. Good luck on your endeavor.

[timtomtheatombomb]

I would have to agree with odin. Those beans are nuts!

[timtomtheatombomb]

I've recently learned about permaculture (maybe a month or so), and it is all really amazing. Your property is really inspiring. What are some good first steps in starting to learn more about permaculture and convert my own land?

[pillbug123]

Thanks for watching. Several options for learning more depending on your learning style. You could take a Permculture Design Course or workshop or read the Permaculture Designers Manual or other permaculture books. If your near Asheville NC check out the Ashevillage Institute, Permaculture Activist for nationwide courses or online course from April Sampson in Australia.

Reflect sunlight from pond into the the sun-room, brilliant.

Your home and site are beautiful. I noticed that the first video is about the pond system, which is a technical tour de force, but only later do we see how beautiful the yard and home is. We see more of the details than the big picture until the third video. Perhaps low res videos aren't the best way to convey it, but I think that the beauty of the systems and lifestyle will attract many people to permaculture.

You are an absolute champion. While I'm not going to move to your town, it did really seem tempting for a couple of minutes:)

We've been in our home for approximately one year now and I've recently installed dripperline retic in our zone 1/2 in the front yard. To date we are providing eggs and tomatoes in more than sufficient quantities for our needs. I intend to do some more work on the structure of the back yard & chicken fodder.

I look forward to your next post!!!!!!!!!!

This is a pretty inspiring setup you have here. I wonder how you finance all your endeavors, I would love to do much of these same things, but I lack the finances. I am currently doing what I can in the meantime. Keep up the good work!

[pillbug123]

Thanks for checking out the vids and good question. I use permaculture principles to fund the project: Many elements serving every function and every function serving many elements. Ex. House converted to duplex to pay mortgage, I live 2 blocks from work/town, leftover concrete used for curb, camellia plant sold for $1,000, no lawn to mow, plants propagated myself, french doors and full kitchen salvaged, wood carefully dissassembled and reused, wonderful friends/connections etc.

[pcslider]

Very well done dude :D Thanks for the tour!

[kingacree]

Always looking for these type of vids for ideas and inspiration
