Create your own paradise and learn about the simple systems of nature:
In this video, I talk about my PERMIE teacher who has opened the minds, and connected thousands of people to the simple systems of nature through Permaculture, Geoff Lawton.
Geoff is an inspiring teacher. I feel that he has a real gift of sharing information.
Geoff has helped me design a food forest, build a worm farm, create a water harvesting system on the side of the hill (swales) and helped me understand how to think like a forest. I am proud and honoured to have been able to share his knowledge and experience through my channel.
Peace and love and all that Jazz

Unfortunately mono culture and industrial food production takes the power out of the crops and soil. Permaculture is a good alternative and possible on a smaller scale. We can use almost anything natural as compost basically. I have a few birds in house, i use their poop for the fruit trees and crops.
Have missed you and your garden. Nice to have you back 💜🌈💜
I live in urban city from québec that mean cold winter and snow I built 2 small greenhouses and I grow almost 9 months a years with 5 quails for the 🥚 and fertilizer I learn from Geoff Lawton videos to understand the permaculture world, Eliot Coleman for growing harvest crop during winter in greenhouse no heat and Charles Dowding It is my third years growing food and this year we eat A LOT OF FREE VEGETABLES like tomatoes lettuce,kale,oignon,potatoes, spinach,lamb lettuce, fruits Let grow vegetables until flowering for the seed just cut at the ground level and it will regrow again free vegetables Do your compost and worm casting free fertilizer IT WORK so well on my small scale

"Good day" from the USA. Just found your channel after watching a lovely English gardener, who happened into my feed, and she had given you a shout out from 2 yrs ago. 🤗 And now I have discovered Geoff Lawton from you! Triple treat this lovely Sunday morning. 💚 Most enjoyable watching your photography, listening to your soothing tone, and most importantly, your great content. I am constantly looking for ways to make my deep lot in the city into a permaculture. It is a process.
Thank you for all of your hard work on these videos. They are so informative and therapeutic at the same time

Thanks Weedy for putting out all this little pieces of cinematic art. They are greatly appreciated. And thanks for recommending Geoffs online pdc. I took it last year and it was the best thing I ever did. The course content is fantastic, Geoff is a great teacher with such a vast experience and a deep knowledge that he can actually explain things so simple that everyone gets it. And his teaching support team is awesome. So if anybody out there is still 'on the fence' wether taking part in the upcomming course or not, I say: do it! You will learn to view the world through a permaculture lense and hopefully 'find your tribe' and all that will change not only your garden but your life.

I am child of the Earth.... how absolutely awesome!!. Bringing Heaven on Earth. Thank you so much for your amazing and wonderful KZreads.
The birds always pull at my heart strings. Love how you included an extended version of Geoff Lawton running through the rain storm. For me, it's one of your most powerful images. It sums up Geoff's vitality, enthusiasm, connection with nature, sense of fun, go for it'attitude. Love how you include the images from previous videos to aid the explanation rather than just talking about it. Wormville is glamping on steroids. Wow how your swales have developed! Positive jungle of bananas and ginger. Mango tree is doing well too. I wish succession was as fast in drylands. We are celebrating with two flushes of prickly pear pads.

Haha, love all of the ginger. I've got a bed of the stuff, and I do the same...dig a bunch out & put some back...lather, rinse, repeat for endless ginger. I'm 100 miles north of Seattle where it's nowhere near tropical, yet ginger grows just fine in my back yard, lol.

I guess that's where the saying "Rub dirt on it" comes from. I always thought it was a toughen up sort of thing but it actually does help? It's sad we are so disconnected from the earth and most don't see nature as one harmonised system.

Mr. Weedy that pigeon pea tree is food source called Gandules by puerto Rican people wish I could have seeds off yours. Big Goya brands can pigeon peas for sale all over the USA. Really cool you are growing one tree.
This video is so richly inspiring. Thank you for explaining what the soil needs - animal and insect life, as well as all the scraps. And you provided a beautiful example of how valuable permaculture and growing food can be simply from a monetary perspective. Of course it is deeply valuable in many, many ways. I really enjoy your videos Weedy! Thank you for making and sharing!
After a Long time.... always inspires..... And the term earthling is 😘😘❤️❤️❤️
All that ginger 😍
Excellent video and so informative Weedy 🌸💕🌸
Thanks Weedy, another inspiring video. Have fun in Denmark !!
That video of you and Geoff using an A-frame plumb line to figure out level lines in the hill so you could dig your swales on contour is one of the coolest low-tech high-return things I've ever seen! Thanks so much for that. Maybe you could talk more about the value of slowing down the movement of water across the land to retain water and maintain topsoil. That's so key to fixing the land. Love your channel!
Missed you! I hope everything is ok. It would be so nice to have some aerobic compost tea vídeo made by you. Still many confuse it with straight worm juice. Big hugs from Spain!

we grow on open fields here, but even though the trees are only on the perimeter there are loads of birds coming into the garden. we don't spray anything ever and we have left the uncultivated fields wild, over time we start to see more life coming back to regenerate the land: snakes, frogs, toads, mice, etc. Since we never spray, there's lots of bugs, lots of food for the birds, who come in and eat the bugs. Spraying actually throws nature out of balance and then requires continuous human intervention. Mama Gaïa knows best 🌿

Thanks Weedy Gardener! You are living the dream! I am looking at getting a plot of land in California in the coming months/years depending when I find a plot that is suitable for my needs. Being half way around the world from Geoff and you I was wondering if there is any way I can get consultation on how to select a plot of land and what the first step/ types of plants I should plant. Basically looking for a teacher to help guide me on my permaculture journey in the Bay Area of California! Am excited to hear what you learn over your time at Geoff's garden. Thanks and look forward to collaborating with you both.
Great style mate. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and your garden with us.

@@TheWeedyGarden can't see any wrigglers. However I think the cold weather is why there not breeding. There's been a huge difference since we started swales. A noticeable change was how slow the dam down the bottom of the block filled up . It's proof that the rain wasn't running down the block. I even did a mini frog pond. When it drains it can collect leaf matter from surrounding gardens. Plus the rose gum needs extra moisture. A great way of providing moisture to natives that need it because I'm not keen of watering.
so good ! still!
Imagine after all this knowledge thanking the creation and not the creator. All this didn't happen by chance but there's a designer.
