Yes, Native American practices for field management were IMO very ingenious, and depending on the tribe and location, they used fire and flood to prep fields, and in other cases used a “conservation tillage” approach of only keeping “mounds” weed free. Some have suggested they may have also used slashmulch, but there’s no direct evidence for this, and I’ve never heard any native authority make that claim. These are ingenious methods, though most of us in Western -style houses and communities can’t really use broad-acre burning or flooding, so we need other techniques. My understanding is that Squanto DID teach to bury a fish in the corn mounds, but that some have claimed that he learned this from visiting Spain. Native agronomist at Cornell Jane Mount Pleasant has specifically studied Native agriculture, and she has said that Native Americans did teach to bury a fish in the corn mounds. Until I hear better information, I’ll trust what she says.

I estimate 2-3 percent of the practices for gardening and farming in the PDM or PDC curriculum are from or inspired by indigenous sources. But mostly those are held up to promote solidarity with indigenous peoples. In practice, in the real world, looking at the 2 recent scientific studies, 0 of the dozens of listed practices being used are from indigenous sources. I’ve recently done videos on the top 5 and top 10 practices I see used in the real world. 0 of them are from indigenous sources. So when it comes to the practices actually used by Permaculturists in the real world, there’s little evidence to support the claim they’re indigenous. It looks kinda racist to me to have a bunch of mostly white people saying “look at my indigenous techniques” and literally nothing they’re doing is indigenous. So, IMO, it’s best to not make that kind of exaggeration.

To do a comparison. The indigenous agriculture of my region ran on fire and flood field prep, and Swidden systems. The indigenous crops here were the Hopewell agricultural complex crops, all of which are now lost today. I’ve done a lot of posts about the agroforestry models, which again are inspiring, but in the real world, most of us are going to use agroforestry systems on primarily European models, because we live in European-style settlements. Meanwhile, the top 10 techniques I see in Permaculture sites here are: in-garden compost systems, guilds and agroforestry on European models, hugelkultures, integrated livestock systems using Eurasian livestock, sheet-mulching, keyhole and least-path gardens, Earthworks like infiltration basins and swales, greywater systems, water-harvesting tech like rain barrels and wicking beds, and scientific biointensive and French Intensive planting designs. None of those are from indigenous sources, but functionally those are the “practices” of Permaculture in the real world. So again, let’s promote indigenous TEK as important and promote solidarity with indigenous peoples! But let’s be honest about where the practices of Permaculture came from, and let’s not tell people they’re indigenous when they’re not.

@@lyrebirdkate Me too! But I recorded this video in another company’s app, and when I tried to post it here, I got a message that it was basically stolen content. The addition of music was an “alteration” that allowed me to not have to find some way to re-record it. It’s a little too loud, though, for sure. These companies are all getting so annoying in competing with each other.

@@Bromiumsplash Yes, of course. The garden and produce picks in all my videos are all mine. I’ve documented my yields and system thoroughly on my website. TransformativeAdventures.org

@@erinkinsey8831 I can’t see any problems with that sort of use. It makes life easier for you, doesn’t take anything away from anybody, and creates no problems that I can see.

So trueeee. My roommates aren’t interested in any of my fresh produce even when I offer every time. They just want packaged food that kills them. It’s sad. But they keep offering me candy and junk food and I always turn them down as well. It has to do with microbes in their gut. They have a higher percentage of bad microbes that crave junk food and cause inflammation. It takes effort to wipe out the populations of microbes to start over. But once you do, you start craving produce over anything else.

@@ShadyHollowUtah Hey, thanks! I hope you enjoy it!

@@bananaboy444 It’s basically in-field/in-garden composting over long periods, with a rotation.

@@pippetandpossum Hey, thanks for the feedback! I’ve got some videos about getting started as a renter. I’ll try to repost some soon.

I’ll check them out, thank you!!

Start now with sprouts and micro-greens. They can be grown inside all year around! They try a few plants in Kratky method mason jars hydroponics.

In fairness, most billionaires probably are. 😂

Probably the Key to Abundance. Ima check it out

I have skirret up in my store right now, and it will ship in the spring. I have improved plants. Seedlings may have a woody pith that is like a toothpick. My plants are selected to not have that pith, which is nice. You can find my store in my linktree.

@@conchadeconchos The quantities of pfas we’re talking about are very, very, very miniscule even when cardboard IS contaminated, which is very rare. SHipping boxes will not have been treated with PFAS, so most of the PFAS in cardboard comes from the trees, which get it from rain water. So we’re talking about minute particles. Shiny thin cardboard fast food boxes like the ones your Chinese food and leftovers come in have been treated with a very thin layer of pfas on the surface, to keep food, liquids and grease from soaking through the cardboard. One way to check to see if there’s PFAS on the cardboard is to put some drops of water or grease on it, and see if it soaks into the cardboard. If the cardboard gets “wet” then it has not been treated with PFAS. There may still be very minute particles of PFAS, because there’s PFAS in trees and plants now, because PFAS is in the rain. And cardboard is made of trees. But this would not be enough to contribute a layer of material in the garden. Probably you’re just seeing naturally occurring mold. It’s pretty horrible that article is scaring people with woo about cardboard like this.

The Mycorrhiza associations are thought to not happen in the Braska family and there’s new research showing that under the right circumstances there’s more to the story. And that’s so cool not actually knowing everything because every day is a mystery and every day you have the opportunity to learn something new.

In agroforestry they use several trees that are thought to have the same affects even in Genesis they talk about using these trees to your advantage. Both in Genesis and in agroforestry they are primarily focusing on diversity not only in the plants themselves but the stratosphere and the diversity within the soil.

((((Surface area) x (# of seeds)) ^soil temp) + water) / what you consider undesirable = weed load You sound like the part of my brain that tells me "this will make it harder to scuffle weeds!" while I am mulching. Kinda true but also kinda missing the point.

I mean… 1, it’s just basic math. Even if you were correct, if I can harvest the same number of plants from 1/5th the space (or less) then that would be 1/5th the space I’d have to weed. 1/5th the weeds, just using basic math! But, actually, it’s very interesting to know you are not correct! Most plants exude some forms of allelochemicals, chemical weapons that are demonstrated in scientific literature to prevent seed germination. And seeds are demonstrated to germinate better and grow better without being heavily shaded. So between the allelopathy, shade, and competition for resources, this explains why good peer-reviewed research available at “bountifulgardens.org,” and elsewhere demonstrates that these dense plants greatly reduce weeds! In fact, this is part of reasoning behind modern corn breeding. So it is well established science. D

its a hilarious joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's peekaboo for the flip

@@angelajason-ik4vd More mind powers! I wore this organic, regenerative cotton jacket in one of my first videos that went viral, and many people made Illuminati comments because of the embroidery. I figured the comments helped drive the algorithm so I kept doing it. Eventually the mystical symbols became something of an in joke for my subscribers, and I think it’s fun.
