Terraces and Raised Beds

Check out the long film at www.ecofilm.de ! It is part of the DVD "Sepp Holzer´s Permaculture" which you can purchase there.
From the film "Terraces and Raised Beds" we see an excerpt, showing permaculture farmer Sepp Holzer creating terraces and raised beds on his mountain farm. We went to film Sepp Holzer for about 2,5 years (that is, Malcolm St.Julian Bown and Heidi Snel). It´s the most impressive permaculture farm in Europe, in my view.
You can see all films about Sepp Holzer on a DVD called "Sepp Holzer´s Permaculture" published at www.ecofilm.de

Holzer has proven that permaculture is a more than viable alternative.

The full video of this 'Farming with Raised Beds' is worth buying, but there tends to be a lot of duplication from the 'Farming with Nature' and 'Farming with Water' Videos.

Inspired by Sepp Holzer we terraced part of one field five years ago. We found that apple trees which in other parts developed cankers were canker free in the terraces, presumably due to much better drainage and an improved microclimate. Thanks for posting this clip.

I've just got a piece of land 30ft by 30ft to grow food.

it's south facing and on a slight incline.

I wonder would terracing it work? guessing it would jjust smaller scale, no?

get at me ;) if you have thought.
