Really admire his passions and ability to turn such a small piece of land into such a vibrant, self-sustaining, paradise. Kudo's to him and that was an awesome thing he did for making his son a skateboard ramp :)
"Ikigai" is a Japanese word for the center of a 4 way venn diagram, translates to "Reason to Live". Circle 1 is What you are good at, 2 is What you love, 3 is What the world needs, 4 What you can get paid for. This movement needs to keep growing, more people need to know this is even an option.
Now if everyhouse looks like this imagine how the whole street will look and the climate will be way better. Hope more people does this in thier useless grass lawns.
Even though we are separated by many miles we are a collective starting this movement to do just that. It doesn't have to be everyone we just need like 20% or so to hit a tipping point. Just imagine a couple hubs like this on every neighborhood block. This is the future of solar punk guided by permaculture philosophy & design principles paired with ethics of love, freedom, and truth.
This was my permaculture garden's 1st yr. 😊 I'm replacing most all of the lawn with fruit trees, berries, trellises, etc that we can afford. Creating living soil. Composting and reducing trash. Think of how much less packaging too! I love how many squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, honeydew melons, and luffas we've gotten! Plus, sunflowers, herbs, flowers, and the stuff still growing! Pumpkins, cherries, grapes, cabbage, brussel spts, broccoli... The last time I had a garden was over 25 yrs ago. With the help of 1000s of utube vids, and actually doing the work this summer, I've learned so much about gardening! I love nature.
Thats why more and more stone beets are going to be forbidden. Just stone, nothing to live there except some bugs.. people wants their concrete driveway and LED and Solar lamps shining on their greedy rich ass while a huge swimming pool is there where this forest full of life could be. Than these rich people get sick, depressed and rot down or suddenly realize it all and change their whole life and lifestyle
Best dad ever! what a legend. At the same time, giving us hope at every step. I'm ready and working on mine, dude is overwhelming sometimes to break a paradigm, this makes it easier.
This is the the BEST thing ever. I love this video so much. I will make it my go-to when I need cheering up or inspiration. What an incredible achievement that garden is. Love that you are that kind of Dad as well that you included the super cool edited skateboard bit. Amazing.
Everything is tied to systems of absolute ownership and profit. So now the average person has less resources than would have in wild nature alone. Think 🤔 a homeless man sitting in public streets of San Francisco is guilty of a crime of loitering. That same man sitting under a tree in nature is just a human being. The needs of the man have not changed but the world around has redefined the man. This is what a stereotype ultimately is, a mass redefinition of people who find themselves subject to a hostile environment. We are so used to this manipulation we do not challenge it, implicit bias. Sadly, every injustice empowers a tyrant over time, and greed has no end. The homeless man face has expanded to included even working people, and tyrants rise of wealth in that state makes California wealthy. One of the wealthiest states but with the highest amount of homelessness Capitalism works but only when Equity is dominant. Only when mutual fairness of a transaction is measured both in short and long term. Otherwise it is the predators who gather wealth stolen from unprotected people subjected to prejudice, and desperate people who sellout on long term community assets. Like water in California. The worst thing? they already know none of it necessary. We can end homelessness by building urban homesteads which produce all energy and food for its residents. The same home can recycle on site with excess energy. We can eliminate sewers as human waste would not exist. But money people who don’t live the reality of that need for change will not change. Need is the mother of invention. Until they feel the need to house the homeless it will not happen. Even with government funding for hotels during covid, it is largely unused. Why because the state must fulfill it, but death is the solution to reduce long term taxes. Of course those people are criminalized. The more resilient the poorest people the less profit can be leveraged. Why? Because if poor people atleast exist in a more natural state, absence desperation, with access to the abundance of food and water in nature - they can not be reduced to slave wages. Slavery in America changed form, and the tyrants who followed the pilgrims with slaves in toe have the charge of much politics in their finances lobbies. The solution exist in broad daylight, but we will not save a single pilgrim until we save all the slaves. The power is present upon equity, because that ends the desperation that feeds tyrants. A true free market, real capitalism, requires every being to have atleast the freedom as present in nature. Poverty beyond that is contrived. Abundant, is the solution as we have long had the power to build homes that are homesteads. Be they urban or rural. Look. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Zhu_Yin_Yuan
@@diversitylove5460 I appreciate ur comment, however, u had me until I saw that bldg! Who, in their natural state of mind and heart, would want to live in something so unnatural?! Even it's appearance is like some twisted god-awful monstrosity, come up from the depths of earth to swallow the very nature we wish to preserve. A ginormous corkscrew of concrete and structure to contain more masses is not natural; it's rather a prison compared to actual nature. This structure is not self sustainable nor does it provide true self-sustainability, in the natural sense.

@@drawingmomentum you think like a mass market capitalist. Open your mindset. I never ordered you to live in the building. I am not trying to force everyone in a condo. But I am saying for those who see permaculture as the stinky hippie poop coddling unkempt thing for savages, we have better options. So you don’t like cities and want to live in the wild. Great. Some of us have to live in cities and the building demonstrates that even that can be a cleaner version of permaculture. It is a modern version of what was once known in the Bible, as other good books, as The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Most of our food demands and our pollution comes from the city. Nomadic tribal lifestyle, or for wealthy white Americans “earth ships” have within them the same principles you criticized. Why on earth you would object to and urban application because you hate cities is beyond me. If you permaculture all the worlds population in the wild, you will do what the suburbs have done, which is to fence off nature. The fences of the suburbs have prevented the movement of wildlife and they are going extinct. The manicured lawns leave no room for ground birds for example, as we have lost 70 percent of quail. When I watch even Geof Lawson permaculture sites i noticed he too has fences and borders, some of which are green. It’s an organized wild, and it’s occupied by people. So less wildlife will take up residents. There lies the problem. Waves of death 💀 in 3 month increments shall take us down. Saving ourselves means saving all wild life, and so we must look beyond “our personal interest of buying land in blocks so we can grow organic permaculture crops for our own service” So as discussed as you are with cities versus nature, just I say to friends who are afraid of wild unmanicured manure fermenting bug laden compost pile lots, both must adopt more respective principles or it shall be our end.

The object of the insult must be substituted by something endeared and spoken within the same context. So sorry for mischaracterizing permaculture, but I did need to reveal the level of judgement which prevented you from seeing the principles, from whatever design, as the critical aspect of saving the world. America will lose a million people by February in these waves of death. Other less deadly viruses are on the rise.

That greenhouse is just so majestic. The rockwork in there is out of this world. Amazing Setup Andrew. I'm curious if you've ever considered moving to more land, or if this is where you want to be for the rest of your life?
I'd like more land, but my location is so great for so many reasons that I don't want to leave. It's also difficult economically to afford a bigger place. Prices are astronomical.
The world sure is abundant! You remind me of my walk home from school when I was young--we used to just eat all kinds of berries that grew wild along the road. City folks don't know what they're missing, but maybe your work will enlighten them...
I have been watching you show other gardens etc this whole time but the level of excitement here is amazing and it gets me even more excited about gardening.
Absolutely inspiring, deserves to be shown to everyone to show them how the natural world provides indiscriminately. If everyone knew this, they wouldn't tolerate the scarcity-driven economy and the suffering it causes. Fantastic video. [QE]
Absolutely beautiful! Seeing a permaculture design in maturity makes me so happy. I'm stoked to be taking your PDC course this fall, and hope I'll be able to do something similar in the future. Thanks for the tour! :)
You are a great man and have taught me so much about the environment with your videos! I wish you the best in all of your life and hope you never stop teaching us such wonderful things! God bless you! And BTW, your garden is amazing
I just love how excited and in your element you are. Rightfully so! Its been a year and a half on my .5 acre, and swales take a lot of work in clay soil. I'm so excited to see it in just 5 years. Have faith the plants will take care of you so you can take care of them!
Fantastic! I thought the same as you watching this. I love a brilliant person super into something good who loses themselves talking about it. It isn't pride it's the joy of how it all turned out. Do you have a channel?
Love this video and love your permaculture garden. I’m just beginning my journey in Oregon on 1/4 of an acre. I’ve lived in Oregon my entire life except for a time in the Bay Area where I went to school for awhile.
This is truly Solar Punk! One day I shal do this as well! Thank you for inspiring human peoples to work with the other peoples of the world in a positive, cyclical, and loving way! You are awesome!
Oh, how lovely. I found you via your Paani Foundation videos (love them) and am so delighted to see your garden, too. Thank you. Every permaculture site I find, helps give me more confidence to continue and expand my new growing journey. SO much more interesting and vital than ye olde trimmed lawns, mixed borders, and serried ranks of lettuce! Subscribed (yay!).
Great production on this video your, I've been struggling to find a cool way to do a tour of my similarly sized 1/3 acre residential mini food forest. This was great, so much dense information and yield in such a relatively tiny space. Might require a couple rewatches. Thanks again for your work spreading the word on these systems and design patterns! The word is spreading about letting nature present itself this way!
Really love the abundance and varieties that you have managed to grow and how you are sharing it with neighbors and people who pass by. It's also an amazing example that I could show to people of how the garden could look like when it's designed by a permaculture expert.
Very inspiring Andrew. This is a fun video too. I noticed that when I let grass grow all over my yard during the rainy season, then the ground retains water longer - past 2 years. I want to replicate this at the farm using the techniques shared from your visit to India. That can work very well for my farm since I depend on seasonal rainfall. It will take years but I will eventually have a micro-climate at the farm too.
You win the prize for first person to get the correct date :-) No, we are not self sufficient on this land. It really changes by season, but on average I'm guessing we may produce 10% of our food in total. But that also includes the fact that a lot of the food is available for public consumption. If I was a more diligent annual gardener, that amount could go up by a lot.
Impressive variety of plants, grafting different varieties such a good solution for people with small gardens. Love that you want to share abundance with neighbours, we need more generosity in the world. Lovely shots of yours kids enjoying their makeshift tube. Thank you for the tour! ❤️🍇🍀
Amazing! The world is truly abundant we just have to be careful and grateful for our resources. California is going through a major multi-year drought and I value every drop of water we have.
I love watching your channel. I have recently taken an interest in growing my own food and becoming self sustained. This is pretty cool all the foods you are incorporating to work in symbiosis.
I so much wish I could do something like this. But living is a HOA I have to really be careful with how the landscape fits with the other houses. Good thing is they are not overly strict and its amazing how things can be worked around if your willing to share some of your harvests. If you are in the same situation as me just know it is not hopeless it just takes more planning and you can work toward a productive landscape.
That day was July 20th. I have become increasingly interested in permaculture thanks to your OSU Design Course, I admire your work and lifestyle. I'm from Mexico City and send you my regards. Thanks again
Truly impressive sir, such diversity. Everything appears to be healthy and thriving, you have done an outstanding job. Oh yeah I forgot June 20th is the day before the summer solstice.
Wow!!! what a garden forest.. tropical trees in temperate/ mediterranean climate thats awesome. I would love to visit your place, you have a world to yourself.. Thanks a lot.. Long live Permaculture
If a state decides to put a land-grant agricultural college in a town, you better believe it's one of the best spots in that state for growing things. I love Corvallis! Greetings from Eagle Point, Oregon. ❤
Awesome example of small space and what can be done. Small allows for a lot of tight interactions and attention to detail. We are 12 years in doing similar on rural 5 acres and I know how much work it takes. I'm a little concerned about dumping grey water close to a drinking well...
I starting to explore permaculture for our house and found your video. I thought, wow I wonder where he lives to be able to grow like that. Come to find out you live right by me! I’m in Corvallis too. I’m so inspired by your house! Hilarious that I found your video first. Can’t wait to watch more
I keep coming back to watch this! So inspiring, I love the greenhouse especially! It is crazy to think it used to be all lawn, and now it shouts abundance! Will there be an update video? I am slowly planting up our yard that is a wide expanse of lawn now.
You really are special my friend. I look forward to your class this January I would think you would use thermal cooling for the greenhouse I wonder why you haven't.
Ohhh I remember seeing a tour of your garden awhile back on Kirsten Dirksen’s channel, and since discovering your channel I didn’t even recognize you and make the connection!!
I like that your permaculture zone 2 seems to bump up against your zone 4 right on the edge of the sidewalk, with a cactus colonizing your driveway and all sorts of volunteer plants
I love this video. I keep going back to watch it as a way to reignite my inspiration. I dream of taking Oregon state PDC certificate. How amazing would it be to take it in person!
Humming birds love Tree tobacco flowers. I used to grow it in Redding CA outside. It did fine. It makes a lot of seeds when pollinated so it was one of thoes plants that is easy to weed but makes lots of plants and nectar for pollinators. I know its wetter and a bit colder in Corvallis, but it might do fine outside. Also it has a very high nicoteen content, which can be usefull for some people. Garden looks great. You really put everything together nicely.
Really admire his passions and ability to turn such a small piece of land into such a vibrant, self-sustaining, paradise. Kudo's to him and that was an awesome thing he did for making his son a skateboard ramp :)

This is truly Solar Punk! One day I shal do this as well! Thank you for inspiring human peoples to work with the other peoples of the world in a positive, cyclical, and loving way! You are awesome!
What a lovely person with a beautiful and generous outlook on life,. Very inspiring.
Oh, how lovely. I found you via your Paani Foundation videos (love them) and am so delighted to see your garden, too. Thank you. Every permaculture site I find, helps give me more confidence to continue and expand my new growing journey. SO much more interesting and vital than ye olde trimmed lawns, mixed borders, and serried ranks of lettuce! Subscribed (yay!).
Great production on this video your, I've been struggling to find a cool way to do a tour of my similarly sized 1/3 acre residential mini food forest. This was great, so much dense information and yield in such a relatively tiny space. Might require a couple rewatches. Thanks again for your work spreading the word on these systems and design patterns!
The word is spreading about letting nature present itself this way!
You're welcome Russell. What's your channel?
@@amillison thanks for asking it's here th-cam.com/users/RussellBallestrini
That is such a gorgeous garden. Thanks for the video!
This is one of my favorite videos of all time! Brilliant, informative, dimensional, healing & hilarious 🤝🤍🌎
Really love the abundance and varieties that you have managed to grow and how you are sharing it with neighbors and people who pass by.
It's also an amazing example that I could show to people of how the garden could look like when it's designed by a permaculture expert.
Very inspiring Andrew. This is a fun video too.
I noticed that when I let grass grow all over my yard during the rainy season, then the ground retains water longer - past 2 years. I want to replicate this at the farm using the techniques shared from your visit to India. That can work very well for my farm since I depend on seasonal rainfall. It will take years but I will eventually have a micro-climate at the farm too.
Andrew, great work! Thanks for showing caring stewardship to the land.
I am in awe… I will have a garden like this..super inspired 😍
Incredible property, Andrew. Looks like the 19th was an idyllic day. Are you able to be entirely self-sufficient on 1/3 acre?
You win the prize for first person to get the correct date :-) No, we are not self sufficient on this land. It really changes by season, but on average I'm guessing we may produce 10% of our food in total. But that also includes the fact that a lot of the food is available for public consumption. If I was a more diligent annual gardener, that amount could go up by a lot.
NOW I feel it's more spiritual, thanks Andrew - for your journey in video and for being you.
Could you imagine if everyone did this? Free fresh fruit for everyone!
Everywhere would be paradise...
@@amillisonhave any of your neighbors done this in their yard?
Impressive variety of plants, grafting different varieties such a good solution for people with small gardens. Love that you want to share abundance with neighbours, we need more generosity in the world. Lovely shots of yours kids enjoying their makeshift tube. Thank you for the tour! ❤️🍇🍀
What you do is a great source of inspiration and action . Thanks for sharing it with us
This is the sweetest video I love this man
I love this, my guy has unreal energy
Now, that's a neighbour everybody would love to have!
I think you have already blown people's minds dude
Thanks for the tour. It's great to see a gardener so enthusiastic about his property. Nice. I love the fruit abundance for passersby!
Thank you for the kind words! I've always loved the idea of creating a paradise in my own backyard :-)
Amazing! The world is truly abundant we just have to be careful and grateful for our resources. California is going through a major multi-year drought and I value every drop of water we have.
I love watching your channel. I have recently taken an interest in growing my own food and becoming self sustained. This is pretty cool all the foods you are incorporating to work in symbiosis.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching Kevin.
This garden is a real life wonderland
My dream is to one day have a garden like that one. Amazing.
I so much wish I could do something like this. But living is a HOA I have to really be careful with how the landscape fits with the other houses. Good thing is they are not overly strict and its amazing how things can be worked around if your willing to share some of your harvests. If you are in the same situation as me just know it is not hopeless it just takes more planning and you can work toward a productive landscape.
Sir, your passion is very contagious
You got a new subscriber without me having seen the full video. Your garden is mind blowing.
That day was July 20th. I have become increasingly interested in permaculture thanks to your OSU Design Course, I admire your work and lifestyle. I'm from Mexico City and send you my regards. Thanks again
Muchas gracias 🙏
Lovely garden tour. Everything has it's place. Sun access is the key.
The world is abundant. I love that.
I love how every plant or tree is his favorite ❤ I feel the same way about my garden.
He has a beautiful garden and a great personality.
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by. Thank you so much for your support!
Oh! How I dream to own such a paradise. Thanks 4 sharing
Spectacular garden, thank you for the in-depth tour! Also, your cat is a superstar!! :-)
Beautiful example of permaculture there! Those grafted trees are amazing! 🤙
Truly impressive sir, such diversity. Everything appears to be healthy and thriving, you have done an outstanding job. Oh yeah I forgot June 20th is the day before the summer solstice.
Wow!!! what a garden forest..
tropical trees in temperate/ mediterranean climate thats awesome.
I would love to visit your place,
you have a world to yourself..
Thanks a lot..
Long live Permaculture
If a state decides to put a land-grant agricultural college in a town, you better believe it's one of the best spots in that state for growing things. I love Corvallis! Greetings from Eagle Point, Oregon. ❤
I love this mentality, urban food forests and abundance!!!
Thank you
So cool to see a mature food forest! I love it!
I love it too!!! Thanks for checking it out.
Vibrant and shinning place
Thanks for sharing! This was an awesome experience checking out your home garden. Learned a lot.
This is a beautiful representation of permaculture being employed to create super dense abundance!
What a beautiful garden!
One of my dream house 🥰
My dude, you are living the dream!!
You are friggin’ amazing👏👍. I love this!!
Truly amazing garden you have! Thank you for sharing with us
your urban food forrest is magnificent...enjoy
i think i never smiled so much while watching a video
Awesome example of small space and what can be done. Small allows for a lot of tight interactions and attention to detail. We are 12 years in doing similar on rural 5 acres and I know how much work it takes. I'm a little concerned about dumping grey water close to a drinking well...
Awesome video ;) Share some more videos of your set up in detail, would be keen to see those!
Absolutely loved the skate edit! Amazing video as well, truly inspiring!!
Whoever edited that trippy part during and after you were talking about the tobacco tree, so awesome haha
you are as incredible as your garden and i hope to create one for myself someday.
I starting to explore permaculture for our house and found your video. I thought, wow I wonder where he lives to be able to grow like that. Come to find out you live right by me! I’m in Corvallis too. I’m so inspired by your house! Hilarious that I found your video first. Can’t wait to watch more
I keep coming back to watch this! So inspiring, I love the greenhouse especially! It is crazy to think it used to be all lawn, and now it shouts abundance! Will there be an update video?
I am slowly planting up our yard that is a wide expanse of lawn now.
looks heavenly-awesome. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
Just discovered you a couple of days ago, just wanted to say you made me happier than I was before
You really are special my friend. I look forward to your class this January I would think you would use thermal cooling for the greenhouse I wonder why you haven't.
Ohhh I remember seeing a tour of your garden awhile back on Kirsten Dirksen’s channel, and since discovering your channel I didn’t even recognize you and make the connection!!
17:44 Dude got a bottle of wine right next the shitter. Dude understands how life works.
i am so in love with this. i am 25 but i wanna be like you when i grow up
Incredibly amazing Andrew,. Hi from India 🙏
Love it. I planted fruit out front so local children (and adult children) could enjoy it too.
I like that your permaculture zone 2 seems to bump up against your zone 4 right on the edge of the sidewalk, with a cactus colonizing your driveway and all sorts of volunteer plants
Nice vlog and this very inspirational for those who have a piece of land to plant with.
I love this video. I keep going back to watch it as a way to reignite my inspiration.
I dream of taking Oregon state PDC certificate. How amazing would it be to take it in person!
What’s up from Monmouth! I took your free online class, thanks so much for everything you do!
Hi neighbor ;-)
Now I'm building this type of property and I love it.. 🤗😍
Humming birds love Tree tobacco flowers. I used to grow it in Redding CA outside. It did fine. It makes a lot of seeds when pollinated so it was one of thoes plants that is easy to weed but makes lots of plants and nectar for pollinators. I know its wetter and a bit colder in Corvallis, but it might do fine outside. Also it has a very high nicoteen content, which can be usefull for some people. Garden looks great. You really put everything together nicely.
4:56 feels so good, the winds
I love you so much. You have inspired me in my Southern California food forest.
Great job. I look forward to the updates
