Aquaculture

Check out the long film at www.ecofilm.de ! It is part of the DVD "Sepp Holzer´s Permaculture" which you can purchase there.
A film about the sustainable use of water by Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer. Fishponds on a mountain farm: an unusual sight at these altitudes. On an Austrian mountain, permaculture farmer Sepp Holzer created more than 70 ponds and wetland areas covering about 3 hectares.
Filmmakers Malcolm St.Julian Bown and Heidi Snel have published a DVD with 3 films on Sepp Holzer. Find the DVD at www.ecofilm.de

what a beautiful lifestyle!

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.

@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.

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

[LincTexPilot]

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

@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.

Do some research first! Put into Google the following search terms "PVC highly toxic dangerous poison" about 9,040 search results....!

[ase010]

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...

@ase010

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

[cbmills]

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

[ase010]

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...
