Permaculture in Action - Greening The Desert

Geoff Lawton did you seed it with fungi,. You said that the fungi put off a waxy substance that repels salt . Which fungi do that and what does making making salt inert or insoluble or locked up mean what does it entail. agri rose macaskie

Stunning!

"I first went to the Deccan three years ago when the drought was severe. People were selling or giving away their plow animals. Everyone was listless and sitting in the shade, just trying to survive until the rains came. So we had a great sense of urgency. We know that most the emphasis has been on the green revolution of annual crops, and it just won't feed people during drought." Bill Mollison

@shafaki: why can't you apply this permaculture system in Egypt?

They've used this type of system in the desert in Australia, also.

If you have a big area, start small. One yard at a time!

Not ripping on you at all but he stated it in the video, he said that the salt had become bound with other molcules and was rendered inert / non soluble.

start doing it man

One of the finest things I've ever seen!!

When was this posted and is there a update on the progress in Jordan?

This is great... please have a search for "Sepp Holzer" Austria and also for "Joe Polaischer" New Zealand...concerning Permaculture.

My mind is just a little bit blown right now.
