Incredible

Thanks for sharing , Polewood for crafting.

I think at some point the decision has to be weighed whether people want to make a lot of money doing this or just give the information needed to heal the planet without expecting to make a lot of money off of it. From my perspective, not being a privileged person, it seems like a lot of permaculture information, design, and education is behind a pay wall that is inaccessible to a lot of people who would actually be willing to put the work in. Just an observation from someone who has had to do all the information gathering, action, and implementation without coming from a background of financial privilege.

I liked what he said to get the information out so it can be better for everyone!

Amazing to me in m y early learning how much food a garden bed can grow like those lettuce beds.

⚠️ WARNING: when adding manure, food scraps or human excrement, be aware of the chemical danger that could end up in your fertilizer if you source materials from the outside! - Food scraps, usualy have residues of herbicides and pesticides and can contain microplastics from packaging. - Manure, many cattle and horses are fed hay sprayed with GrazeOn, a persistant chemical that kills everything but grass. This goes thru the animals, into their manure and persists thru the biodigester. - Human excrement, beware of PFAS forever chemicals that are often present. Also have to contend with antibiotics, hormones, other medications etc that lingers in the waste and doesnt breakdown in the digester. Know your source!!!

Local currencies have a long history, but it is in modern times that they became colorful notes reminiscent of gift certificates and are more of a community morale currency. If you want to make a small community resilient against a federal currency collapse, you back the local currency with something. If gold and silver are impractical, use what they did historically, honey. This honey money was backed by a shelf stable, tangible good that was useful for many things. Careful not to call it money, legal tender or currency, or the Feds will be upon you. Another way could be hyper fractionalized gold in the form of Goldbacks.

As a hobby colliar of 20+ years I must chime in here and geek it up: - WARNING, nothing in this video shows biochar, everything is actually raw charcoal. - Biochar is technically charcoal colonized by microbial life and absorbed full of nutrients and water. - Adding raw charcoal directly to soil will rob the soil of nutrients before it becomes beneficial in any way. - Add compost, manure and/or urine to charcoal BEFORE putting into it to soil. - The seed sprouts shown growing is a fluke because they are indeed benefiting from the moisture, but come back a month later and see how poorly they develop because of the raw charcoal stealing nutrients from the soil at first. - The easiest way to make charcoal is by digging a pit, getting a hot fire going at the bottom, them slowly adding layers of feed stock. As the top layer burns about half way, add more stock. At the end add tiny pieces to burn and cap off the pile. To save water, use the dirt you dug out to fully cover and smother the fire. Depending on size of pile, it will continue to cook for 1hr to 3 days without air. - Fun facts: - Charcoal buried in soil has been found to last over 1000 years. - 7 lbs of charcoal is the carbon equivalent to burning 1 gallon of gasoline. - You can char other things like cotton cloth and use it as a great fire starter next time. - Temperature is not crucial for any charcoal other than activated charcoal made for filtering/absorbing. - Colliar = charcoal maker - Before coal was found and used in colonial Pennsylvania, charcoal was made to use in the first iron furnaces. - You get denser and larger quantities of charcoal when using hardwood versus softwood. - You can make a still to capture the gases during the charcoal process. After diverting the moisture away, you condense the rest into methanol liquid (fuel) and tar (great for anti-rot treating lumber in ground, but carcinogenic like most modern treatments). - Charcoal is a key ingredient for Terra Preta. Adding fired clay (terracotta) and manure creates a pit of fertility that last many generations. - Biochar only works because of its immense surface area (a grape size nugget is about a football field worth). These coal chunks become sponges for water and nutrients, and apartments for microbes. Bacteria and fungi thrive here and interact with plant roots boosting growth beyond what just fertilizer can do. I've even had chunks left on the surface and tiny spiders move into some of the larger holes. Small life LOVES biochar! - Old school pitch glue was made with melted pine resin and charcoal. It's one of the strongest natural adhesives. If you believe in the carbon pollution issue, make charcoal. If you want richer soils, make charcoal. If you need filters for air, water or GI track, make charcoal. If you want clean, no-chemical cooking briquettes, make charcoal. If you want something to draw with, make charcoal. So....just go make some charcoal lol!

You are NOT limited to wood to make biochar! Other examples are bamboo, leaves, pinecones, corn stalks and cobs, hay bundles and so much more. Heck, you can make char-cloth to help light future fires too. Anything that is mostly carbon can be turned to char.

can the process of making bio char release carbon into the air? Could it be bad for the climate if everybody did it?

I've done this a few times in a pit, definitely very labor intensive. Once you have all the material to be burned staged nearby, just start adding into the fire before the previous material is in its last third of the burn. Add enough so the last layer gets smothered and the new fuel starts. Took me about an hour or two of constant attention, but got lots of char. Great video!

Biochar makes no sense to, too energy\time intensive. Prescribed burns make sense, but not spending time and energy cutting\gathering biomass just to burn it up. Jean Pain's systemof chipping and gaining heat from the pile to keep grow beds warm in a greenhouse all winter is a much more advanced system. More yields for the same amount of work.

Why not post the full interview over here on TH-cam?

Great presentation, thanks jesse and kelpie. Id love to know more about how to crush or grind homemade biochar.. i don't have a machine, so wondered if there are any clever tricks to do this (with available or easily acquirable/non specialized supplies)

Interesting topic. Is there any easy to digest how-to-guides for this kind of community projects, local currency making etc? I find it hard to know were to start.

Saved to my most important playlist, thank you 🤝

I do not watch videos that are so amateur that they play noise behind their narrators. Play your ghastly music in the lulls.

They are blaming nature for what they have destroyed for profit.

Participating in a PDC will make one more aware of their position on this earth; more so than even the most decorated university graduate.

getting close to nature and the ground is healthy and fun.

Wondering if Yuapon can be utilized like this.

Live fence, coppiced top, could be a good privacy fence haha

Bought a GX commercial big Bear log hog BBC82. Processed upto 5”dai into 5”-11” chunk wood and bags it. Had an acre cleared, skidsteer operator took logs for firewood for a pro rated price, $85/hr. Left with a huge burn pile that needs to be processed.

It is amazing to see how much food one small garden can produce

Long live permaculture. Will someone please introduce it to China? From there perhaps Chinese will spread it to Africa & beyond.

Love all the touch points covered including improved water quality and reduced flooding effects.

Although the problems of the world are so complex, the solution is very simple. Bill Mollison.

I want to do this work with you guys how do I connect with you?

PSA, if you're looking for the actual book, you have to spell the title just as its written on the totally real and not AI generated book cover: "The Dungeon Master's Guide to Permacwlttire"

Fantastic work and productive fun! Thanks Kelpie and PINA for sharing this conversation with people around the world. "Think Global & Act Glocal" It works.

🇺🇦🌲🌳

Great stuff

Is this the full video or is there a full version somewhere else?

Very insightful! Ciao from italy!

i like the idea of that self heating greenhouse in the winter. great for citrus?

No actual tree's mentioned. So I'll assume one must pay for specific tree names and then again for 'how to' instructions, then pay again for the trees. Let me know if i got it right. Jewtube hides replies often so please check in NEWEST.

All my comments keep getting deleted. The people are Ernst Gotsch, Charles Dowding, Bill from Perma pastures farm, The bowler hat farmer, off grid with Doug and stacy to name a few. th-cam.com/video/qlUSEOBcRWI/w-d-xo.html

Fantastic, I really enjoyed that. Biochar is fascinating.

Pollard instead of coppicing, then run stock underneath. Beef under trees.

Climate change, really !

I have almost all of Erics books. The one thing that he (at least Ive never seen) and many farmers, gardeners etc are now talking about it is the real reason for climate change ie geoengineering. I understand this is a subject where people lose the ability to receive money from youtube. We need more big names talking about this. We have many already but we need all to bring this crime to the masses.
