Thank you ma'am I am a Physician, but have been interested in permaculture for 2-3 yrs now and finally jumped into it. Have wated your initial video when u purchased the land many yrs ago. You are doing great ma'am, and i get a lot fo help watching ur videos. Regards.
I happened see your video by accident but i saw 6 video of your right from start part 1 to 4 and then checking them randomly. Well short of words to appreciate your well deserved efforts to develop your farm and seems you put your heart and soul in it. God bless u in your future Endeveours, I hope u become national personality where people will look forward for leader in you. Also your videos are excellent and well edited, english is also excellent. All the best to your daughters too, god bless them.
Hi Manisha... watching aananda videos rejuvenate my mind.... though I don't own any land but having life in lap of nature, away from artificial city life is my dream for so long. You are doing great job by spreading this awareness.
Most important topic so far. If possible , if you can share how you have designed swales and pounds in a diagram it will be really helpful for ppl like me who is planning to design the farm soon. I have a land in Kerala which is between 3 hills and during monsoon we have excess water and during summer no water. I am exploring how this issue can be solved. Please let me know if you provide consulting as well Manisha. Thanks once again for your valuable time and input.
Dear Manisha, this is Anitha from Hyderabad, southern part of India.we have been following your videos for quite sometime now, really got inspired and want to design similar farm as yours. All the videos are very informative and clearly understandable even to a layman like me who is not into farming. Thanks a ton🙏 for taking time out for Q n A's and the explanatory videos. I have one question: i see that your farm land is black soil, is it so? And which one do you suggest red/black/mixed? That would really help, as i am in look out to buy a farmland past six months, regret for not asking you before itself🙈
We actually started off with sandy soil. Our entire land was just sandy dirt, no nutrients or moisture. Using the principles of permaculture we managed to re-develop our soil, get back its fertility and nutrition. We have no specific suggestion to which soil one should have, all soils are useful in their own ways -It's about making the most of them and taking care of them
no problem, here are some other videos about rainwater management you may enjoy - th-cam.com/video/R1GpIgI1p9A/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/6R5RHcuHe6o/w-d-xo.html
it is so complex how nature works we have gain lots of knowledge to replicate it and it all does without any human interruption and we humans call us the most intelligent species
Thank you for the valuable insights on the video. > How important is the pond liner? > Also please suggest some trees to be grown at the periphery of the pond to avoid evaporation,
Great videos you share as always. Just lower the volume of the background music (I use headsets and it disturbs quite a lot). Keep it going - all the best !!
Good video. Bgm is dominating your explanation. Please reduce Bgm to lower decibel for clear understanding of your input. Please re post the video after adjusting it. Thanks
That was some excellent knowledge for water management on farms can please suggest us some good permaculture books to read which are in accordance with indian conditions ,and you are doing great work 👍thank you
After every video I watch from Aanandaa and reading a few books, I write down questions to email you, and most of them gets answered in the next video by you guys. Amazing to see this wealth of information!! Keep spreading the knowledge and inspiring others.
Hi Mam , Recently we have taken up Cashew plantation and we have problem of irrigation we have one bore with 2 inch and Soil is red sand where we cannot Flow on surface we are thinking about drip irrigation do we have any alternatives in Permaculture
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences Madam..small suggestion if you don't mind...will be more helpful if you can show the visuals while answering the questions atleast in a picture in picture Mode..please think over it.
Very informative...can u plz make a video on how did u make the transition from ur city life to permaculture...covering aspects of finance n your family.
Very hard to give an answer with such little information! Recommend you explore our course Water for every Landscape and get a perspective on how to manage water. aanandaa.teachable.com/p/water-for-every-landscape
Madam, thank you for the video. I have a question. Why did you not line your pond with plastic sheet and then let the excess water seep into the ground? That way wouldn't you have longer access to pond water which would otherwise percolate into the ground?
Because a plastic sheet would not have lasted too long, and eventually would develop tears in it. Its unnatural and also ugly. The coir liner allows a natural ecosystem to develop through it, while it decomposes over the years.
If your pond is filling up with soil each year, you must look at the problem and address it upstream by planting trees and grasses that prevent erosion
We have half acre of land and we want to plant lot of tree. Problem we are facing is to dig hole we can't hire JCB as land do not have direct access to Road. Our neighbors although have good relationship with us but not ready to provide road to us through this land. what are the practicle options for us.

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating swales
Greetings!
Thank you ma'am I am a Physician, but have been interested in permaculture for 2-3 yrs now and finally jumped into it. Have wated your initial video when u purchased the land many yrs ago. You are doing great ma'am, and i get a lot fo help watching ur videos. Regards.
After this pandemic is over I will be starting my one acre permaculture farming under your guidance.
All the best to you!
U should have one native Desi cow and bull plus Desi seeds...for good results
There is no plan for ending the pandemic. All the more reason to go ahead and start creating your permaculture farm.
Watching from texas!! I love watching permaculture design.
I'm in San Antonio and getting into this now! I don't know how, but I know this is the way I want to go.
Was waiting for such a video.... Thanks Ms. Manisha. I have absolutely FLAT land with alkaline ground water. Now I have a good idea what to do.

If your pond is filling up with soil each year, you must look at the problem and address it upstream by planting trees and grasses that prevent erosion

You can dig the pits manually. That may also give employment to some needy people.

Do mean can you make many circles one after the other in a straight line?
