I am a civil engineer that works primarily with stormwater maintenance, and I've got to say you have done excellently in explaining this concept!
Permaculture is nature, is not guys like you twi , who tried to design things etc.... people like you make me tired, if you tried to design the permaculture, that mean you know nothing about permaculture ;) love from france
i wonder if people could use this to "transform" California to have less fires and better agriculture industry
@@cagjr3421 They can and there are people who do this successfully. They would turn the whole world green. The trick is with a real lack of desire to implement the solution and most people simply not knowing there is a very good solution to their problems. When they are overwhelmed with doom and gloom they become physiologically incapable to think clearly and unable to let go of their dogmas.
@@ieatYTP59 People who think they got the truth over everyone else on something blurry like permaculture are the exhausting ones. Working closely with nature is still designing since it's involved planning and understanding existing mechanisms.
@@marlan5470 Yes. California was so convinced that they were in permanent drought due to "climate change," that they didn't bother doing anything to capture water when it DID rain, wasting many opportunities to ease their situation, just letting flood waters flow unimpeded to the Pacific, while continuing to bicker over water rights and mining the water that God gave them. There's so much that you can do with relatively minor sculpting of the landscape, and intelligent plantings.
I'm a senior in high school and for some reason, this was so interesting, it interested me so much that I instantly said this could be a career path, I am glad I found your channel!
Great to hear and permaculture is the best career path.
do it, their aren´t enough people to hire because of the shit we have done to our cities channels and costs, modern infrastructure must rely heavily on this knowledge
Fifty years ago, they weren't career paths. So go for it!!!
Also check out Bill Zeedyk’s work
That's awesome
I am totally bored with all the TH-cam content that my algorithms suggest. I found this and I'm living this channel and all the positive information
This makes me want to buy a huge chunk of land simply to be able to build pounds and entire ecosystems. This is a great video, couldn't ask for a better primer. Thank you Andrew!
Are you serious? I have the perfect project if you are!
@@simonmasters3295 I wish I had the money to do that! David Borlace from "Just Have A Think" put out a video about a report that shows passive reforestation is our best hope for a future that doesn't include all of us and most of everything else being wiped out. You can see it here:
Rethinking Climate Change. The path to a 90% emissions reduction by 2035

Cheers
Inatosha!
It also makes me want to buy a large pane of glass and schematics on it in coloured markers.
@@Jerkzilla Andrew has some great content, I've been watching a bunch of these!
Built a pond last year, and in one rainstorm it filled to almost capacity! Now I’m working on placing native plants to make a working ecosystem!

My family did this stuff back in Bengal area of India. They were masters of capturing and irrigating their gardens. Bengal used to be covered in rivers that you could navigate through with a canoe like a water world. Imagine how fun it was for kids to explore.
That must be really beautiful. I can imagine a world where you don't have to work and can just spend your time under the warm Indian sun, eating some good Indian food on a nice boat and just slowly sailing through the rivers and feeling the world around you. Must be nice! One day I will try to visit there and do that, in another place with rivers.

I’m impressed at the fact that he can write backwards so that we can see it the right way.
He probably writes normally, then mirrors the video in editing.
@@denisl2760 3:49 shows it
I mean he writes it very slowly, hench the speed up.
@@ToneyCrimson He writes it as normal, then flips the video.
It's not difficult for everyone. I can write backwards or upside down easily, just not as quickly as writing normally.
We had several ponds on our property in the dry tropics which were seasonal, and used to charge the aquifer and water livestock and wildlife. We added local Nothobranchius fish (killifish) which lay eggs in the mud, and these hatch when the ponds refill, these controlled mosquitoes, and were a food source for kingfishers herons etc, as well as some human consumption. Once the small fish were established, we added larger lung fish which provided a larger fish and a better food source for humans - only allowed to be fished in the wet summer, and no digging them out during the dry period, so as to maintain the population.
It sounds so interesting. I want to have a big piece of land to experiment.
At this point, I have watched thousands of TH-cam videos and this one has to be one of the best I have seen.
Millison does a great job on his videos!
Bravo Andrew , your vidéos are excellent, from the Paani Foundation to hydrology and permaculture. Thank you for all the great work you are doing.
I'm not even building a pond but this was great. Drawing on glass then filming from this angle illustrates it so well
And i assume he flipped the image, or is he able to write in reverse?
@@wes4192 Video mirrored in editing most likely.
@@denisl2760 maybe not. I can write and read in reverse. Read in mirror, upside down reverse or any combination there of.
Great video, excellent explanations, BUT I think the real gem of this video is you need to realize this guy is writing all of the letters for each word backwards and is going right to left, what a master!
This knowledge is what will really be needed in our future! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! You're welcome. :)
Just getting into permaculture. And I used to work in civil engineering until I realized how much overdevelopment was ruining FL. Now as an Industrial Engineer I see that techno fixes are not sustainable and here I am looking to bask in knowledge and work with nature rather than dominating it.
"Water is life" - probably some Fremen
People often think we in the Netherlands are fighting against water, but actually we’ve been working with water for the longest time. Along the major rivers are flat areas which flood almost every year, 50 to a 100+ metres from the dyke. Rivers need space to expand. You can’t stop flooding, but you can control which parts flood. Large ponds also play an important role in that. If rivers overflow, or rainfall is too much, excess water is led towards swampy areas or ponds/lakes through a large amount of irrigation. Technology definitely helps, but in the end you need to give water room. Work with the water, not against it.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who sees trough the bullshit of high-tech non-solutions.
@@nil981 We need a balance. Not all high-tech ideas are non-solutions. At the same time, the overuse of high-tech or overuse of anything (over development for example) is not good.
Ted Kaczynski was right
This guy's presentation tech and skillz are preeety slick. Slick indeed.
I don't understand most thing he say, but I still give this a like, because the effort he put in this video to teach other people new things.
Thank.
This is my new favorite channel.
I've got my land and my tractor. Now it's time to binge watch all of your videos and try to do them justice
You are a prettily dadblamed clear and logistical thinker and communicator.
This is awesome. I’m currently building 5 ponds in my property and this video could not come at a better time. Thank you 🙏🏼 !!
Sweet! So happy I could help.
Nice
Hope you hit a couple natural springs. My buddy's dad walked his property line with dowsing rods.(he was old, old school) We were all laughing at him behind his back, till the well diggers dug up a spring, on his very first detection using dowsing rods. Nobody laughed at him after that..we stock it with Catfish and Tilapia, and some feeder fish with a couple largemouth bass that we introduced to the pond. We also have five hydroponic towers that get most of their nutrients from the fish waster. Thinking about raising rabbits next. I'd like to raise guinipigs for meat, but my family thinks I'm a sicko. The same family that has no problem sucking the brain out of fried squirrel won't eat Gineapigs. I have feeling that they taste delicious....
@@pagliaccisghost269 They are a common delicacy in Peru.
WOW!!!!!
Excellent presentation.
I was talking to my aunt yesterday about rainwater collection techniques I have been learning from you and others. To my surprise, she mentioned that my grandfather(her Dad) had dug 4 big ponds in his farm which collected lots of rainwater. They had really good crop harvests each year due to the ponds. I remembered that we collected water from one of the ponds during the dry season each year, until the mid-80s when the drought lasted more than 4 years. I was really impressed that the old generation knew these techniques, but also sad that their children lost all that knowledge.
Great story and thanks for sharing.
@@amillison You know Andrew, the multiple pond system you just described here can be implemented at my nephew's farm. He is fortunate to have a small stream flowing through his farm on one side close to the fence, into a bigger stream at the back of the farm. I will try to sell him the idea and see how he likes it.
The small stream could be planted with native grasses to lessen erosion as it flows through the farm and have swales coming off the stream at intervals for planting fruit trees too. Maybe I am crazy. 😀
Have a earthmoving business of mostly building and repairing small ponds in central Georgia. Have to say this is the best ive seen for a pond building overview.
Reminding us what the internet was supposed to be used for. Beautiful educational presentation.
Your Drawings are so accurate, simple and genius, teaching permaculture for all senses,, for every people, without barriers or borders. Really good! 🌞🌈
From one teacher to another your a hell of a teacher! I feel like I got hoodwinked but another online PDC course and still paying for it. Thank you for everything you do for us! 👊🏼
I'm a garden designer/eco architect/builder with natural ponds and a permaculture/biocentric-natural builder approach as speciality. Your video was not only istructive but eextremely interesting and superbly presented! The new trend in swimming pool design at least in Sweden is natural ponds, water bodies that give multiple functions to often urban areas including increased biodiversity. would be great if you could make a special video on urban swimming natural ponds with special focus on water quality and recreatioonal use while keeping fex biodiversity and use for climatic control, fire protection, etc. Thanks, keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for the kind words and it means a lot from a professional like you. I have seen some good natural swimming pool videos from the channel Discover Permaculture Geoff Lawton
You are one of the most valuable yt channels for my homesteading journey. Many Thanks to you man
Thanks and my pleasure 😀
Best video on permaculture pond I've seen.
Thank you! I needed this. I have been researching for years on how to feed my family, utilize my region for its resources, and constantly restore the area without causing degradation to those resources. I'm a Victory Gardener for my homestead and family but this...this just added a great new piece of information and arsenal to truly utilizing my resources to their fullest potential (and safely) without being a danger to the area and people in the nearby areas. ❤
You're really good at writing in reverse. I've been watching so many of your videos for weeks now. Permaculture might be my new hobby. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I really needed to build a riverside civilization, but was lacking the knowledge of how to build proper permaculture and ponds, thanks for the vid anyway. It's really really good, lots of effort was put into it and it shows.
I get a lot of inspiration for worldbuilding from this channel too : P
WHen the first question he asked was "how many of you love ponds?" I already know this dude is passionate and going to be good.
Thank you for describing and speaking on "in channel" and "off-channel' ponds and how regulatory bodies in different regions can play an influence on design. I've heard about this but haven't seen or heard much in the way of how to work with or get around the regulatory limitations to keyline design.
Can we also appreciate his capability to explain complex concept with simple terms? 🙌
Thank you on behalf of everyone trying ro improve their land for all of the valuable information you have provided throughout your videos.
This weeks award winner for super interesting stuff I didn’t know I wanted to know about
man, i gotta say. your videos are so unique and laid out perfectly. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely excellent walkthrough! Nice drawing work!
WOW I LOVE THIS STYLE OF VIDEO! the man behind the white board. Helps that the man is a genius and is capable of drawing confusing topographic maps then beautifully explaining them.
What a compliment! Thank you and I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel!
This is the best video about ponds. Thank you!
Wow excellent content, from someone with passion and experience. No fluff, just enjoying teaching. Great stuff, thanks!
What a difference it makes when the presenter loves their job
Thank you so much for your gifts of knowledge. I learn something every time I spend time watching your videos. I greatly appreciate opportunities like this, I cannot afford to pay tuition, but I pay more attention then many students.
I just subscribed today. It is rare to find a channel so interesting and informative that I want to watch every video on that channel.
Sometimes it takes a lot of videos (of not quite what I'm looking for) for YT's algorithm to catch up with the depth of knowledge and detail I'm seeking. Then there are times, rarely, that it finds me a gem.
Thank you
My exact thoughts!
That was sooo much fun! Your voice, your drawing, your delivery, your information.
Such a fantastic video, I did a degree in water engineering and PhD in waste water treatment. I'm building a series of ponds/lakes soon so I found your approach here interesting. It's great to listen to a genius speaking.
thank you so much for the detailed explanations you are doing great things for humanity with these videos !!
Wow! Thank you Sir, it was an honor to watch this and to soak up the generously shared knowledge.
You laid the foundation for our Permaculture Dreams 🙏❤️ From Kerala, India 🌍♻️🌱
I'm more impressed with the editing more than anything.
This pretty much sums the basic ideas very clearly and informatively! I've only built one relatively small pond myself yet and another was already on my land. Oh, mistakes were made of course but nothing that could not be turned into a feature if not advantage. Both ponds are without any liner, placed on a highest part of the plot close to each other. It allowed us to perform maintenance without water losses since we simply pumped excess water to neighboring pond. It also helped to quickly stabilize chemical and bio water balance, allowing much quicker introduction of aquatic plants because usually you have to wait a year at the very least beforr introducing fish or flora to a newly filled pond. Anyway - great vid!
It just dawned on me that Andrew is writing all that super crisp, clean text backwards from behind that plexiglass window. Mad skills!!
I too was appreciating his backwards writing skills
This also blows my mind.
He could just write normally then flip it in post-production. If you look closely his right hand has his wedding ring and it's usually on the left hand.
More important now than ever. Thank you Andrew😊💚
I just love the graphic style for this presentation!
Beautifully illustrated. I always use your videos as my go to to validate my own learnings. Thank you so much. Namaste 🙏🏼
This really helped I have 40+ acers of gravel pit I'm working on a restoration / rehab . the 3:1 radio for the backhoe is good and steps .
Obtain and spread free woodchip and leaf mulch from tree removal contractors. Spread grass seed. Works well on my property in Australia that has old gold diggings.
This style of video production is amazing! Love the writing and drawing on this huge glass panel! Wow
Thanks for the kind feedback, so glad you're enjoying the channel!
There is something though in a seriousness about creating ponds! First pond I ever made was a huge mud hole I caught crayfish from the creek and released. All was going to plan until the next morning all that was left was bits and pieces of my hard work (apparently racoons, cats, opposums and etc can reach into a 3x3x12" pond and pluck the hopes and dreams of a 9 year old 1 by one and leave scraps behind) lol. I was hooked though since!
This is an awesome first step to a small pond I'd love to make, a habitat pond that seeps out for small crops nearby. Theres been so much rain this year, it's hard not to think about making a pond!
Super well done, thank you for the effort and detail! :)
Wow. I'm only three videos into your channel and I've already learned so much! Fascinating stuff... glad you're making such edible, easy-to-follow content for the rest of us. Thanks Andrew!
I am currently working on ponds in a drainage ditch from my spring fed well. (No choice in positioning) Three ponds will increase the ground water in the dry area of my forest garden edge.
All three are for habitat. One or two I will be able to put fish in.
Some day, I hope to make a seepage pond at the highest point of the property and feed it with a 12V pump running off a solar panel.
So this video was very interesting.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a large ditch by my house we need to do something like this with. But the soil is sandy that doesn't pert. Will that feed our ground water or hold it too much?
@@susanfreeman5340 The sandier the soil, the faster and further the water will spread.
Keep in mind, the further is also down. The deeper the sand, the deeper the water will go down and not out as far.
Hi Andrew...just wanted to thank you for this awesome content! I'm part of a team designing a 3.5 million cubic litre pond for one of our projects and your videos have been a great source of education!
The amount of information you gave me made me understand I can't build it myself I would need an engineer to design my system
When you explain these i recall from my memory all the please at my country where my ancestors builded pounds
Working on regreening the desert here in Joshua Tree CA. Love your videos Andrew!
Beautifully done sir, I wish my wife's uni lecturers should take a few pages from your book. Fantastic and engaging presentation!
I have been searching and searching for something like this video… thank you!!
Addicted to this. On a different line, fresh and saltwater sump creation. All about design and direction of water flow.
Management of the live ecosystem.
Dude this illustration technique is next level!
Fine work Andrew! This is a beautiful and accessible overview you've made. Great for helping clients get a grasp of options and complicated concepts.
I'm so late to this game - but... need this so badly on our land. Wish I knew where to start, who to talk to about it here, locally.
Thank you so very much for this - I wonder that this and other life on the land lessons are not taught in school from beginning to end - we could save lives and money! Thanks again!
Chef kiss 🧑🍳 for being able to write all this backwards 🤯 well done sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And very interesting video 💕
I'd love to have an aquaculture pond with aquaponics filtration. My little IBC tote aquaponics systems aren't big enough to farm fish seriously. And the grow beds could be much bigger. This is all very interesting to me, thanks for the explanation.
Man.. I admire your effort making such videos. Keep up the good work and stay inspiring 🙏
I have 29 acres with 3 ponds in place already. I knew nothing about permaculture till moving to the country 3 years ago. The more I learn the more I realise I have so much more to learn. The 3 ponds are not connected and none seem to be well constructed in relation to shape size function or overflow measures. They do however hold water. Feeling overwhelmed by it all at present and feel I need a site visit. Oh, did I mention I live in Australia? Know of any permaculture hydrology experts in Victoria Australia?
permaculture was invented in australia. try asking around in local permaculture / food forest facebook groups for your area
Check out You Tube channel of "Weedy Garden". He's a real cool guy. He's somewhere over there.. being from US I'm not familiar with what's close to what over there..
Hey Linda, fellow Aussie here on a similar steep learning curve. Although not pure hydrology experts, but experts on managing the unique Australian landscape, I have learned an overwhelming amount from Peter Andrews (heavy focus on water management) and Nicole Masters and Dr Christine Jones (both critical to understand soil health) and Charles Massy is an excellent resource for all things land/stock management. Good luck with your research.
Waiting for the G-day mate! I've gowt what ya need right ova heeyah!🤣 You Aussies are awesome! As an American, there's a reason your called "Awsies" short for awesome haha.
@@melanieremen3872 From what I hear, you don't manage Aussieland, it manages YOU?!😆
this is a very good content, i'm very happy to found your channel, your learning so much! I from brasil and i work with permaculture here in south of brasil, i'm a architect that designs ecological houses and landscape. thank you, congrats for your work!
Woww!! Btw why no one is talking about how well edited the entire video is, there are fast forward clips but still then the audio presentation of him talking syncs perfectly with the video at the end of fast forwarded video.. wowwww!!!
brilliant use of ''graphics'' to illustrate. Clear and informative, well done :)
Precious. Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
I am curious how long it took you to learn to write backwards. Beyond your expert knowledge, you are serious talented with this presentation style. I am an artist and that was the first thing that blew my mind about your video. Fantastic work! I learned more than I thought I would. THANK YOU
The video itself might be mirrored to counteract it being written backwards
@@justinokraski3796 Ah! That ruins the magic a bit, but makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
@@jesswisdom90943:49 you can see it 'clearly' here. Notice how he makes the blue lines and how they appear on the next shot.
and that he is right handed there ;)
@@justinokraski3796 insanely enough if you look and think about the angle this is impossible he is really writing backwards
Thank you, I’m in the process of applying to the agricultural science program online-torn between this and the horticultural science program, however I think you convinced me enough to go with this route. I can not describe my passion in words, but recently I had mindset shift from: “Oh, I want to but I don’t think I’d be good at it,” to, “F@ck it, this is what I want to do with myself.” Thank you, wish me luck on the application. I’m so nervous
Thank you for sharing and remember that getting started is usually the hardest part! Best of luck :-)
This was pretty much a video version of basic parts of the old USDA publication #590 for basic pond building. Both of these are sufficient for an irrigation pond. There was one glaring exception which is the root of the demise of most of these ponds in that there was no discussion about preventing siltation which fills most ponds within a few decades. You do not want to incur the expense of dredging since it usually costs more than the original construction.
Called farm dams in Australia! We have been doing everything in this video for a very longtime in Australia. I live 20 km from the some of the first keyline designs by P.A.Yeomans in Richmond NSW Australia. In a dry environment, nature will move in quickly. On rainy days yabbies (a crayfish) and long neck turtles with move between dams, even going over or up hills. I have three farm dams on my property.
As I am looking at the 6ft by 3 ft shared garden, from my bedsit in the UK.....
Wish I was There!! 🙂XxX
If only everything I’ve had to learn had been presented like this! Everything about this was a treat - instant sub, can’t wait to explore this channel!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Welcome aboard :-)
@@amillison 😊
Your videos are great stuff. Invaluable info, well communicated. Thanks!
Very happy to see tou back, love your videos and the art that accompanys them
Wow. Halfway through the video and I subbed. Difficult to find good permaculture content creators. Wonderful presentation style and life-changing information if one is about to build a pond. Thank you very much.
Appreciate your knowledge as well as the presentation and production values. Really well done.
Thank you for the wealth of knowledge, I only hope someday I can put it to use myself
Wow! very well done sir. very very nicely made video, much appreciated. Blessings to you and your loved ones.
❤love your channel
Explained so clear and simple.
No nonsense!!!
Really happy to follow ❤
Cant stop watching this
This type of presentation is remarkable! Good work, keep on educating!
Ive never heard of the concept "permaculture". I must say, im fascinated! I`ll going to implement this on the farm!
Thank you Mr. Millison for sharing! I am glad to have found this video! Got lots of ideas how to design a small permaculture garden pond.
Glad it was helpful! :)
This is an absolutely fantastic video.
Not only a great 'explainer', but you are producing beautiful art as well! Thank you.
We are getting ready to put in a large koi pond next to our proposed garden area that we plan to install media beds and floating raft beds to create a recirculating, outdoor aquaponic system. Fingers crossed
I would love to see it when it's done! I've been playing with aquaponics in IBC totes for the last 8 or so years and I'd like to build a pond full of tilapia with grow beds for filters and some floating rafts. I tried it once for a while with lettuce floating in the pond with a net underneath to protect the roots. The tilapia still got to the plants and they died. A separate pool is better so you can filter the water before the floating plant pond. The roots get bio slime if the water isn't filtered but I didn't know until I tried it. Now the info exists on TH-cam to do it all right. Good luck!
I absolutely love this teaching style
A wealth of knowledge. Plan to construct two ponds in Kenya and this has been extremely useful.
