I could listen to this guy talk for hours, and I have
I also really respect the fact that he is out there actively putting permaculture theories into practice; instead of charging inflated prices for courses and writing books on the subject.
No offense to anyone but I feel the term Permaculture is often bastardized by some folks. I think this guy, however, is the real deal and we need more people doing exactly what he is doing- GOING FOR IT.
“ The whole doom and gloom industry might go broke” love it. Thank you for this amazing video
Yep, and Mark says he's taught a number of sections of permaculture courses, too. If you're interested in broadacre permaculture, he's probably the best teacher in North America because he explains everything from his experience doing commercial permaculture in this place - a very unique and valuable perspective!
Masanobu Fukuoka has shown how to grow wheat, rice and barley without tilling the ground and while building up the soil. In the 1970s he wrote a book about it called the "The One-Straw Revolution". It can be done just need to get more people to apply it.
Thank you Mark! Awesome!!
Amazing!!
I admire the final ~1 minute (conclusions he makes)
"Let's not tell everybody it's easy; the whole doom and gloom fear industry might go broke." hahahahah
This guy is awesome and sees it all in very simple terms and sums up solutions adequately and fluently.
i never met him and i never knew him on a personal level but man i really miss steve irwin. so full of life and would generally make you happy just watching him.
NICE! Wish I could visit or work there.
Me too! Maybe one day I'll have my own garden paradise.
Thank you Mark. Id lke to reforest and graze rhe Diablos here in CA but land is prohibitively expensive.
Do Mark Shepard and Paul Stamets know about each other? Because they should.
Great video, well worth watching, like permaculture on "steroids"...
Would have actually liked to see the swale lesson at 17:06...
since the present farming methods are Sheer Total Utter Poisoning It to Death (STUPID) I think some remediation is a good thing before planting a "zillion" plants and getting into the STUN phase of the journey. things like mineral remediation, seeing where the fertility of that section is versus where you would want it to enter the STUN phase. as Mark says the biological systems take freaking long and it is reasonable to invest a few years at the start (and maybe more than a few) in order to bring the soil up to snuff. :3
+towardthelight:) This is 23 mins long. In a longer video he explains how he uses salt blocks for cattle to get lost minerals in the soil.
+Charlie Durrant Also Key line and subsoil plowing involves 'remediation'
Charlie Durrant
Hi Charlie, the nutritional delivery to humans by animals is a negative. and the environ impact is really really negative. I agree on using what is available to remediate the soil but not animals. :)
+towardthelight:) If you don't use animals to break down the biomass, what will? Our local metropark thought the same thing and ended up with a huge thatch layer and they ended up cutting and baling it(in a savanna setting), how green is that? How do you provide fertility for the soil, by making compost for tens of thousands of acres, show me who is doing it on that scale, please?
Hi Cheryl, I am interested in staying away from the present domestication co-dependence situation. Things do rot. But I am not against natural systems. :3
Does anyone have a scientific paper on that last number he threw out there? "A 2% increase in soil organic matter stores 100 times more water. You can go through a drought."
WHY is not CRP offering this as an option?
The hard part is getting the land.
Depends on your strategy. There are old people who are looking for successors to take care of their land, because their children don't want to or they don't have any.
There are places that nobody wants - maybe because of contamination of the soil or poor soil. These are cheaper but will take more time to rebalance the soil or you might be forced to use raised beds.
@@dali1384 If you look around, you can often get land for paying old tax bills. In some places, you don't need to even do that.
21:47 You math is off. If 1% increase in organic matter results in 10% increase in water retention, a 2% increase in organic matter will result in 21% increase in water retention, NOT 100% increase.
mark could you add KELP FARMING to your enterprises and ORGANIC VALLEY distribution? BREN SMITH of 3D OCEAN FARMING and GARY FREITAG of ALASKA SEA GRANT are your counterparts on the kelp side. yahooie!
smallest acreage is this doable
A farmer/gardener can do all this without taking a permaculture design course.
@ 21:56 you state that 1% increase in bio mass gives a 10% increase in water retention. Then you say a 2% increase in biomass gives 10%x10%=100% increase in water retention.........? The two should be added not multiplied. (2% increase gives 20% water retention). Still a great thing. Thanks for the video. I am enjoying your book and I appreciate someone that practices what they preach!
Such a simple fact makes me wonder about his credentials...or maybe I am the idiot:
Sure, but a well-done PDC covers this and much more. Mark isn't doing anything that *isn't* part of Permaculture.
All vague hype, no hard figures. What about yields?
Well in 2015 him and his associates in the organic valley cleared a billion dollars
@@sherburnecody Can you please provide a link?
I wanna say one of his 2016 conference speech. Possibly in a black polo
Read his book, he goes deep into yield numbers and nutrition per acre vs corn
He is completely wrong during his little rant of current expenses vs investment. Determining change in annual cash flow caused by a capital investment is exactly how to measure the decision. In finance its called capital budgeting. This guy has a self righteous attitude and he talks down to people. He doesn't know shit about finance and it makes me wonder if he knows as much as he thinks he does about everything else. Just say'in
