Excellent information. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Sharlene!
Thank you, Stefan. I'd been looking forward to this all week. It certainly didn't disappoint!
"If" I ever get my own place, I hope I don't encounter flooding. Now I have some solutions.
I’m glad you liked it! The next one is going to be more visual. I am going to try and dig up as many before and after images as I can find.
Ótimo vídeo ❤obrigada ❣
Muito obrigado! E obrigado por assistir nossos vídeos!
I look forward to watching the video with all of you and answering your questions!
J'ai hâte d'écouter la vidéo avec vous tous, et de répondre à vos questions!
¡Espero ver el video con todos ustedes y responder sus preguntas!
皆さんと一緒にビデオを見て、質問に答えるのを楽しみにしています。

I had not realized dogwood propagated from cuttings so readily. Good to know ;)
Yes. Keep the cuttings to a max of 4 or 5 buds. They’ll root more readily.
i wish i had such a creek through my property! i would build a pond and a micro turbine. i would not have had to do all the rainwater collection and underground tanks. excellent use of materials at hand. the pond is a major attraction for wildlife and diversity. very nicely done.
Thank you Alsan! That’s what I’m trying to do. All of our needs with what is here…
This is so wonderful! Perfect solution :)
Thank you! We’re glad you liked the video!
Can't wait to see the next one! The way you handled the water situation is very inspirering :)
I'm trying to make a wonderful garden as well. It's tiny compared to yours but for a beginner it is good enough. And the earth can be shaped in a nice way instead of only gras and maybe some tomatos and cucumbers in summer.
I even bought a Chayote! And will have it next to a plums tree. And sweet potatos, chilis and will see if I can grow a lemon as well.
I want to have a green jungle with lots of beautiful herbs and flowers which are good for insects as well as for medical reason.
It's hard though to fell the right decision and don't plant too much :)
Have a nice day!
It sounds from some of your vegetables that you are in the south somewhere! Chayote, sweet potato, lemon! Sweet potato grows very slowly here, and lemon, I can only grow inside the house! I've never tried chayote, although I grew it when I lived in Oaxaca, Mexico.
All the best with your garden! I am sure you'll do great! Make sure to know how much space your plants need so they can grow well.@@user-zi2fj3hz2o
Our site has substantial challenges with what I refer to as an extremely high water table. We have vernal ponds over a substantial portion of the site and the water level is clearly harming many of our trees. It's a twenty acre site, and 17-18 acres of it are excessively wet. Like you, when we walked the land before buying it, there was no standing water. Unlike the prior owner, I at least recognized the signs on the land that there were areas with seasonal ponding.
I made some suggestions of what you could do on a previous comment.
Running across the back line of our site, between us and a wildlife refuge, is an abandoned county drain. It took quite a bit of digging into the past for me to find any record that acknowledged responsibility for this particular 'not creek' ;) Aerial photos from almost a century ago show the site as unforested, with a few trees, and a series of canals in the northeast quadrant. It appears that someone attempted to drain the site at that time. It's also evident that the effort failed and they abandoned it. Since that time it was left alone, to regrow as a woodland. It came back as a bio-regionally typical woodland, primarily oaks and maples, with some conifers (white pine, largely) and, rather surprisingly, no/minimal invasive species. However - many of the trees suffer from too much water drowning their root systems. I don't want to attempt to drain, for multiple reasons, including that someone already failed at that effort. My plans going forward involve building a couple of ponds to provide a place to hold water and allow evaporation, adding high transpiration rate species like willow to help with pulling some of the excess water out of the ground, and opening up the canopy in the area where the canals were dug 100 years ago, allowing for more evaporation there. My overall plan for that specific portion is coppice culture. Do you have any thoughts/suggestions?
In addition to planting willow, which has so many uses, another thing you can do is find out the species of shrubs, trees and herbaceous plants that grow naturally in your region in wet areas. There are likely many that could contribute to feeding you, and also increase wildlife and overall biodiversity. You can also, in key areas where you may want to grow things, create chinampas overtop the wet areas. I have a number of videos about these.
Great video! How big is your property? When looking at property in Arkansas, the first thing I look at is the FEMA flood map to make sure the land isn't prone to flooding where the home is although I wouldn't mind having a creek running through it to use the water for gardening like you did. Love what you did with the curves. I'm looking forward to seeing videos when you start planting in the spring to see how you start the main garden for the year.
That's great! In our case, the flooding had nothing to do with natural features, but with artificial redirection of creek water. Our local conservation authority would have been able to guide us prior to purchasing. However, after the fact, they were helpful too! More on this in the next video! Hopefully by early April I'll be out planting in the garden!
Thanks for taking the time to detail your solutions to these challenges. We deal with many similar issues of waterlogging on our property here in Western North Carolina, and similar approaches would likely work, though we have less nearby deadwood to contribute to the chinampas/hugelkultur mounds. Creating a series of small, interconnected ponds while elevating the adjacent areas may work, however. I'd be curious to hear how you addressed (or are addressing) the standing water near the periphery of your property, which you alluded to near the end.
Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching! We also did what you mention about interconnected ponds and using the earth from the ponds to elevate around the ponds. The other challenge you mention, I will talk about and show in this week's video.
@@WillowsGreenPermaculture Looking forward to that next video! One question - when digging the ponds and elevating the adjacent areas, did you first remove the topsoil from both the pond and the area being raised, then build up the grade using subsoil from digging the pond and finally add the separated topsoil back on top? I'm assuming that as you dug the ponds you were reaching into the subsoil, so I'm curious about whether the soil layers ended up inverted as you built up the adjacent regions. Thanks!
All was very liquid as I worked. I was only removing mud from the top layer and laying it to either side of the canal. I did not want to dig down. I only wanted the water to travel across the surface, with a bit of build up on either side to kip it in place. For the ponds, I dug down a little, but once again it was all very liquid mud. I simply lay that on top around the sides. The sediment was naturally full of seeds that had settled the bottom of the wet areas I dug in, and so the sides immediately sprouted plants. What I did is very different from digging a pond or a canal in dry soil, and so, maybe doesn't really answer your question. I was trying to direct floodwaters in saturated soil.@@chrisj9684
@@WillowsGreenPermaculture Thanks for the explanation! That makes perfect sense and is quite helpful for us here. We may find ourselves working with both tactics - channeling water on the surface with shallow drainage trenches and basins as you described, displacing just the top layers of muck to the sides, and making larger/deeper water features where we dig into the subsoil and therefore need to separate the topsoil. But I love your strategy and certainly will be drawing inspiration from it. The serpentine flow path is beautiful and nicely functional. Thanks again.
Thank you Chris!
I am curious how the buckthorn was processed before burying them in the garden beds. Did you let them dry out to reduce resprouts from the buried live wood??
Most of it, yes. More than a year. I propped them up as teepees to make sure they would dry thoroughly. A few I had cut only a couple of months prior. I had to keep on top of them till make sure they didn’t resprout.
It seems to me that your neighbor that built the pond diverting water from the creek made some serious mistakes. That water overflowing from the pond should have been going back into the source creek, not directed onto the neighboring property to become "someone else's problem". Poor design on their part :(
You can say that again. He’s the same person responsible, when the house was built, for not installing the culvert I spoke about in the video you commented in with your water design comment. My attempts at sitting down to have a conversation with the municipality, who signed off on this oversite, to resolve the issue, resulted in them having their lawyer scare me off. There was also a whole bunch of buck passing between the municipality and the local conservation authority. However, though the conservation authority issues the permits (which I got a copy of from the house construction), it is the municipality that is ultimately responsible for ensuring that they be respected, as the LCA has no teeth attached to its jurisdiction. The municipality, when signing off on a house construction, has all LCA permits in their possession for verification purposes and can refuse to sign off until all permits have been respected.
It takes between 500 and 1000 years to create an inch of soil.
That's not true.
Your statement should read “It can take”. Not “It takes”. When you Google something, make sure to quote the sentence correctly. Also, make sure to see if you can actually read the entire university study that the sentence comes from (if, indeed, that is what it comes from), along with all the evidence the study references… Had you done that, you would have learned the following: It depends on the habitat, the conditions and what is going on there. And when you know how nature functions, you can imitate nature and multiply its abundance. What is also important to know is the opposite is true: soil can erode and disappear extremely rapidly and our modern conventional agricultural practices which often do not respect the needs of nature, using pesticides, over-tilling ,etc., and killing the life in the soil, have multiplied that negative effect. This would be one of the important reasons behind that university article you attempted to quote, as it is basically stating that building soil is more time consuming than eroding and destroying it. You need only observe two fields one next to the other, one using modern conventional agriculture techniques that have not begun to adapt to the nature-guided techniques we are learning so much about, and the other using nature-guided permaculture techniques. You will visibly see the difference. The conventional field eroding every year and getting lower and lower next to the other field.
What exactly is soil?
Quote: "It depends on who you ask," says Erik Joner, who is a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomy (Nibio) and who researches soil in particular.
"You can call a bag of peat from the plant center soil, but others don't think it has anything to do with soil."
It has taken more than 10,000 years to make the soil that exists in Norway today. Still, the Norwegian soil is young. In the countries of southern Europe, which were not covered by ice, the soil is much older.
You can actually see that. The Norwegian soil is quite gray, while the typical Mediterranean soil is red because almost all the iron is rusted.
This has a lot to say for nutrient availability. For example, the nutrient phosphorus becomes strongly bound in very rusty iron. This means that the plants find it difficult to get hold of it. If the plants are to grow well in Mediterranean soil, you must therefore use more fertilizer than in Norwegian soil.
On the other hand, the Norwegian soil is thinner. The soil-forming processes have simply not had time to build up as thick soil layers as further south.

Here and now you are not making new soil. You make existing "dead" soil fertile, which is good for the fauna. The result of your contribution from your hobby initiative to the creation of new soil may be experienced in 1000 years. Your hobby project does no harm, but it is not on the level of inventing either the deep plate or the wheel.
Your point supports very well one of the key problems this video is attempting to address: When our modern practices erode soil, it takes a long time to rebuild it, and so we should start rebuilding now (and stop practices that erode soil), and work in a way that serves nature, as we are all part of nature. Also, any time you add organic matter to the soil in order to feed the biodiverse fauna that is there, and in doing so, make compost that will feed your garden or the land you are steward of, you are making living soil. Making living soil and multiplying the diversity of the micro-biome in the soil is part of what we are talking about here. This is what reestabishes soil health in the context of a living ecosystem.
This video which features Erik Joner (whom you mention) at a symposium delves very much into the subject of life in the soil.

It is good that you say "It depends on who you ask" when you ask the question of what is soil. As in all things, it depends on perspective, point of view, on why we are doing what we do, and so on. Your comment is addressing soil in a geological time frame, a perfectly valid point. Howevery, I am addressing soil on a more human time frame. A human scale. On a geological time scale, soil has existed for very much longer than humans and may likely far outlast us.
It is important to make this distinction, particularly because we have been living in a period these last two hundred years where our ecosystems are being destroyed on an industrial level. So much of human activity to produce food (among other things) is being done on an industrial level, and this is contributing to the destruction of our soil and ecosystem. I am attempting to engage in a conversation in which we can bring the human relationship to our ecosystem back to a human scale. What I mean by a human scale, is a scale that sees us as part of the ecosystem (which we are), and interracting with our ecosystem in much the same way as other life on earth does, to the extent possible.
Now, in this video, particularly, in my case, I am striving to restore an ecosystem that has been badly served by past practices, into a healthy one. So I wish to develop soil for that context, and I wish to do so without the use of big machinery, using what I have on hand. Therefore, the invasive species, which need to be dealt with, have very much vital energy stored in them, and very much vital energy they can continue to produce, while I deal with them, and therefore contribute to the solution in a very interesting and unconventional way (the conventional way of dealing with invasive species is often to burn them, but in this case, with buckthorn, I am proposing a way to use the buckthorn, ensure that the cut branches do not resprout, and contribute to reestablishing habitat and living soil all at the same time.
The practices I am freely modelling in order to help gardeners and homesteaders learn to restore their own ecosystems are to help them be able to grow food and also restore the native biodiversity of their region to the small piece of land for which they are stewards, without needing to use big machinery, and so on. If more of us do this, the world will definitely become a better place. We are not here to invent anything new. We are here to help others.@@objektivone3209
Idealism is one thing, "facts" are another!
The population of the globe amounts to 8,000,000,000 people +/- the uncertainty. On top of that number comes the number of animals on the planet: 20 billion billion +/- the uncertainty. Everyone must have liquid and food "every day" in order to survive; This is far from new knowledge.
Scaling hobbyist idealism like yours up to a conventional size is unfortunately a utopia. Humanity will not give up its comforts per anno 2024 to be able to pay a fortune for ordinary food. And I don't think humanity would care about "a dictator" who told it to live only in collectives with only a few daily choices: Like for example "This week you must eat only this, and you must not make children without a authority approval."
Many well-intentioned people in the eco field make the mistake of believing that microeconomics can be directly transferred to macroeconomics. It cannot be done because of the basic prerequisites for the two subject areas; microeconomics versus macroeconomics.
My own mother told me when, as a child in the 1950s, she saw the first bananas (discovered in 1836 in Jamaica by a plantation owner, Jean Poujot) arrive in our Scandinavian country. Do we need bananas today in 2024? I personally don't buy them, but try asking the population and find out what they think.
