  • This is the future of Earth civilization ... without big mega cities, without a 9 to 5 workweeek, without Wars, without poverty, without lack of anything... We will be spiritual beings living on the land like we did thousands of years earlier. We will not have churches but will spend time each day meditating and learning who we have been and will get advice from our spirit guides. Namaste

  • Great video that nicely showcases Permaculture Ethics and Principles! I am a pioneer member of an intentional community currently being formed and actively searching for more certified permaculture designers, as well as other like-minded individuals, to add to our team. Search "One Community Ranch" to see ALL the details of how we are creating open-source blueprints for a sustainable civilization and "A NEW WAY TO LIVE"! Much LOVE, Respect and Gratitude to US ALL for ALL we are doing!! <3

  • "Systems that can meet human needs while regenerating the land - that's the goal of Permaculture."

  • Thank you for this informative permaculture video! Yes, it's a must to have - "systems that can meet human needs while regenerating the land around us." There are enough resources for everyone, we just need a new model to follow. Please check out our open source sustainability project (sustainability nonprofit -org) and feel free to use any info that will forward your cause. Thanks for all you do for our precious mother earth and her beautiful people.

  • @superbong69 hugelkultur works great. a more refined approach to creating a high carbon/fungi-dominant soil is called a "static pile" (static compost, as opposed to thermal compost or vermicompost(worm) ). If a plants root zone is in the hugelkulture/static pile then there will be proabably be signs of nitrogren deficiency, but you may amend the soil around plantings with a nitrogren rich, slow release fertilizer like feather meal. depends on the height of the berm and the plants

  • @jaworskij

    LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

    we will all serve the Masters until death.

  • @jaworskij

    Assuming the water, soil, air, and species are not all destroyed.

  • @jaworskij I like the sound of that!

  • I like terrice desighns i havnt bought land yet but dread settlin fir flat when i do but this just got me thinking if i build a cob dome house i can make my own hills

  • I notice that there are still a few people around, advocating the venus project. Truthfully, I'm really not interested in it at all any more, although I was for a while, and saw the films/hung out on the forum for a bit, etc.

    The founders of that are very dogmatic; and none of Fresco's designs have been recorded for people to duplicate, at all. Unlike Permaculture, TVP is basically a dead end.

  • @jaworskij Sounds like heaven to me :)
