Paradise from Permaculture

this is an over view of my permaculture setting in Nigeria, one of the few sites I wish to start the noble quest to immitate nature and living a sustainable life that will positively effect the environment .I wish comments from the viewers, this will help me and others who might be interested in Permaculture.

Hi Mate. Your soil looks fine to me. Dry and dusty but i know what its like in the tropics :) in dry season. I see a lot of potential on that site

What i see lacking so far is a source of organc matter/ forage

that soil needs building up in 2 ways - input of organic matter and physical decompaction. That compost pile is not suffiecient for your needs

Need to put in plants to grow and cut as mulch.

@MrJuicemon thanks, there has been a lot of changes on the homegarden since this film as I write my major manure source comes from my chicken house which holds at this moment 250 chicken 60 out of these are layers.More plants came up too and I am planting more because the ground seem to be lively ever since the expansion of the chicken House,I will post a video. Once more thanks for your encouragement

Should i talk German or English?

How is your soil? To me it looks kind of dusty, dry and compacted. But you know, all life on earth, even us, come from the soil in the end. So first thing I would do is build soil. Underneath that straw just in the beginning of your clip, is there a swale? You say you have erosion. But erosion can only happen, when great amounts of water flow over unprotected ground and take it away. So my idea would be, to see..

thanks for your comment , Danke für Ihre Kommentar , WATER havesting is already 70 percent , while soil building has just started , there is an underground 4" pipe grey water for the plants around the plantian(banana) it looks dry because I am using the leaves from the havested ones to shade the young plants springing up around the larger ones. My major plan is a full range Homested in Africa (Nigeria) . Hope to read more from you.Ich freue mich schön auf Ihre Vorschlage bis bald

do you have any recommendations on where to learn permaculture in Nigeria?

Very nice garden! What plants are you using for nitrogen fixation? Keep up the good work.

.. where all the water comes from and direct it where you need it. (e.g. the banana tree looked quite dryed, isnt it?) Swales is the keyword. If you have the water where you want it, it needs to be used and held there. Mulch and dense planting reduce evaporation. You didn't tell so much about what you're plans are? For example, what exactly should the tires do, that you piled up there?
