Thank you Geoff . The online PDC I took with you in 2019 was life changing!! I threw in my job and now do what I love - growing my own food, increasing biodiversity on my small farm and improving the local ecosystem. During your PDC you encouraged us to share what we are doing to encourage and inspire others so I took that on board and share my journey through KZread. It brings me as much joy, through communicating with others, as the actual growing does. I would not be here doing all of this without you - thank you so much Linda !!

Thank you Geoff for inviting me to share one of your days with my camera and I. It was a pleasure and you are a legend my friend 🎬🦍🫵🏻😃

The peacefulness is palpable. Thankyou Geoff and @TheWeedyGarden.

You and Bill are a treasure to the world. Creating change. You made a small creak turn into a flood of people making there own change to there land. And changing others minds on the benifets of what you teach.

3:56 You see the world through completely different eyes. There is a different framework of design that you see everything through. You’re literally seeing the way of creation itself! Awesome Geoff! So true! Paradigm shifting! 8:30 I love body surfing in the ocean! And I equate birthing with surfing too… if you are relaxed and centered, you keep your balance and there is a joy and thrill of riding the wave. If you get distracted or are upset for any reason, your balance is off and you tumble under the wave.

Great collaboration! Working together for everyone!

There’s no control because you can’t control God. He’s just too BIG! Thanks Geoff and Weedy for bringing out the best of all His creation! Joy from Nova Scotia.

God bless you Geoff I learnt so many things from your video thanks so much 🙏

08.15 Excellent insights ❤

A great little video. I did a Design Certificate Course in the Blue Mountains of NSW with Supapon Rafan as the teacher and about 10 other students. All of us were unemployed on the dole. You are right permaculture gets into you and you see the landscape differently. I totally agree that eating in season is the best and healthiest. The burgers with pale tomatoes on them no taste, leave me empty of real goodness. Why add them? We have lost the connection to the earth. In season food is the only way for me. Thanks.

I love your videos❤

Enjoying the course. Although The Woodland Orchard was built largely on Geoff's KZread videos, and other practitioners, I'm looking forward to driving the next phase using the knowledge gained and consolidated from the PDC.

Talking about growing food according to your micro climate, I tried growing lychees but I failed due to I'm on a dry land in South Africa 🇿🇦. So lychees prefer tropic or subtropical climate 😢and lychees are my favorite fruits.

Hey Geoff, I have enjoyed your KZread videos for several years now. They are one of many inspirations for my permaculture yard in Canada. You said something that really got to me. When you spoke of teaching people to read the LIDAR maps and making permaculture land management plans (or something like that). You said that hundreds of thousands of people need to know how to do this. If it was possible for AI to do this, do you think that would be a good route to speed this up?

@@geofflawton3198 Of course, silly me. There are limitations to LIDAR. LIDAR can't tell us the exact plants that are growing in said area, soil conditions etc. One day we will get there will fully automated permaculture. Drones and other robots will gather data (with LIDAR too) about an area and then implement a permaculture design. But you are right though. We need a lot of people trained in PDC to implement local permaculture projects right now. We can't wait. Also said people will eventually train AI. The more people, the better for this too. I want to bring up one barrier to your vision. It is great to have all of these people trained, but access to land ins't always easy.

I like how permeculture cares for animals, birdsand insectseven fungi

😂😂😂 You're a rare breed indeed Geoff. VERY FEW farmers relish the pre dawn or dawn starts as the case may be. Dad always loved the opportunity to dry the cows off over winter because he hated those miserable cold wet winter starts, getting the cows into the milking shed. Can't say I blame him. I remember being gotten out of bed as a 7yr old to go help feed out hay on many a cold wet winter's 0200ish morning so that we didn't have a dead herd come morning. Wasn't long before my 5yr old sister and I firmly decided that (we) weren't going to be farmers nor marry one either - much to Dad's disappointment I think. Though I did start learning to drive the Land Rover as an 8yr old until Dad decided I was "old enough, fat enough, & ugly enough" to get out & feed out the hay myself as (he) got ot sit in the dry and drive! 😂😂

You've got beautiful cows, chickens, dog, ponies, horses, farm. It's wonderful. I think permaculture should be worldwide, but mandating it would bring in government corruption/ incompetence. We need to teach people how permaculture benefits them with better health, nutrition, less medicines, less cost, more resiliency, more localization, happier livestock, better wildlife preservation, etc so that they buy THIS, use THIS, live THIS instead of buying into the cultural/economic serfdom being offered by the mega corporate conglomerates/government.

@@TheWeedyGarden I think giving the bigger picture is helpful. I am for free market, but what we have is crony capitalism/oligarchy. Think it's important for politicians as well as consumers be aware that what is being promoted isn't "just a lefty thing." This is about better products with huge, other important benefits such as better hydrological cycles, better soil for growing plants and fattening/feeding livestock, happier livestock, more food, build other resources, on and on without being labeled "climate alarmists," or patsies for corporate malfeasance. If we raise others' awareness, they will more likely follow thru, as well as pass on the word. I do think one can push for more general use rail, because they have multiple benefits, as well as methane harvesting and it fits in the box of satisfying those interested in nutrition, versus those interested in environmental issues, versus those saying "let's not rush into every new thing"...

Ironically I've lost alot of my interest and passion for permaculture as I can't afford land here in Australia, debt free anyway. And in my experience it never worked out living on someone else's land.

I go from very passionate to very discouraged. It does not change when you own land. I have a small piece of land (with a bond) but very often you get set backs and then you loose hope. Then you harvest a pumpkin or get a lamb and you are back in the game. Keep fighting the good fight. Debt free is already much further then most people are! 🎉

Geoff is to permaculture as Saint Peter is to the Christian church. He disseminates information widely.

Perhaps we will not Save the World, so maybe we will have to say goodbye to planet Earth; are you ready to give it up one day?

stop it with the cult of personality and just share his techniques and ideas. Don't make him a guru, that's against permaculture principles. It's not supposed to be a pyramidal system with a few kings on top, it's supposed to be an horizontal one

Unless your final goal is to sell something. Then you need idols, but only because the world we live in needs charismatic personas to sell good ideas. Be part of the culture that changes that.
