Inspiring video! But we have a different understanding of the word 'Tiny', mentioned in the title. I'm searching for more city-located gardens that are smaller than 100 square meters.
Great film thank you! Would love to see a perennial polyculture type set up with regenerative grazing; maybe you already have done one so I'll go through the archives.
Almost all of the 'grow huge amounts of food in a small space' videos I see are set in Australia. I don't think you can go wrong with that climate ! You should try it in the UK where the weather changes dramatically from day to day, one day it can be sunny, next it can be snowing, next is frosty and foggy !! Not easy to grow anything. Thats why more and more growers and farmers are using plastic, i.e. huge polytunnels, it's the only way to get success.
Beautiful! I’ve been converting my backyard into a permaculture food forest over the last year. It’s amazing how much joy and happiness it brings me. Thanks for the ideas. I’ll apply them on my backyard and videos ❤️
I would love to see a video or a few about renters using permaculture to grow food in pots because they do not have garden space provided by landlords.
MessinInTheMoss Same here as I’m in that situation where I live in a 1 bed Council Flat with only a communal washing line area that is tarmac. So I’ve been growing Veg in pots along one side of the communal area against the wall that surrounds the area. I want to experiment by attempting to grow a mini Forest Garden in pots using Dwarf Fruits Trees and shrubs, Wild Strawberries etc, also a few Annual plants such as Runner Beans that I have been Training to grow up Sunflowers stems, I hope to grow perrenial Verticle food plants up the Dwarf Trees etc.
Go to Amazon for FELT GROW BAGS. all sizes. I grew an entire garden in reusable grocery bags 12 years ago, just to test the theory. Great success(put drain holes in grocery bags). Have only heard good things about the felt bags. Excellent investment and they are selling out fast. No drain holes necessary. Handles to move your plants if necessary.

Your garden is inspirational. My wife and I were moving down a similar path to your family . We had an incredible food forest going and I loved nothing more than going out each morning and eating my breakfast directly from the trees. Then my wife came down with two critical illnesses and I was diagnosed with a heart and lung problem. Consequently due to numerous doctor and hospital visits in Rocky and Brisbane our sustainable garden living lifestyle finished almost overnight. All I was able to do was to water the fruit trees as a maintenance effort, everything else dried up. We had not thought about planning for the eventuality of not being well enough to keep up with the level of work that we were used to. Another permaculture family we know of had a similar occurrence. Their yard was far more fruitful than ours but severe sickness hit them, so much so that they had relocate to Brisbane. They had major problems selling their house and yard because to the non permaculturist it wasn't the "Better Homes and Gardens'" type of yard. My wife and I loved it as you would have done. So while you have your health and are living your dream take time to plan for when your children leave home and you come to that age where you are either ill or simply do not have the energy you need to maintain your permaculture yard. It will happen, but please don't be blindsided like we were. Again watching your video brings back lovely memories. One suggestion though, have you thought about edible weeds? Sine we weren't able to keep water up to our yard the weeds took over. I did a bit of research and found that our yard was producing a very large crop of edible weeds each season, with no planting, watering or care from me. Some of then grew happily in full sun in 40 degree heat waves and continued to produce greens for us. Enjoy your life. Cheers Royce.
im gonna watch every single video of yours. Such great visuals and great to have the owner explain it. In many videos the filmer just ask questions all the time but here it all seems to be tied together with no questions needed. Thank you for sharing this great video.
This is amazing! I have always dreamed of living this way, but I just got stuck in the game of trying to make money and raising kids as a single mom in the suburbs. I'm still going to make it happen someday, but I missed out on raising my kids this way. With any luck, I will be able to share this way of life with my grandchildren in the future. What a beautiful way of life!
I'm in a similar situation. Single Mum kids are all but grown now. I've been doing a little at a time. 1 plant here and there. It's certainly not a food forest and very modest at best but even 1 tomato plant is a step in the right direction.
What a wonderful permaculture design! We love how everything flowed from one place to the next along with the thoughtful use of earth heating and cooling to transfer cooler air from the ground cellar to the upright cellar in the house. - Brian + Erin
It is heartening that more and more people are realising that wholesome living near nature and according to the Law of Nature, is the way forward. This reminds me of the book 'Back To Land For Self Preservation', written by the legendary nutritionist and researcher Dr Norman W Walker. Permaculture Tours is indeed a worthy venture, thank you for the episode and series!
Love this film! So exciting to see how much can be done on a small scale. I love that the permaculture principles and ethics are not prescriptive, but there to be interpreted and envisioned by anyone, whether they have access to a large scale property or a small one, like Richard and his family. Another wonderful film, Jordan and Antoinette! x
so happy to have a channel like yours to learn from! would love to hear about the development that happens after the initial permaculture design is put forth. i see so much intricacy, im interested to hear how much of that growth comes after the initial idea!
Wow he really nailed it on a small block. Would be great if we got some constructive feedback about what they could have done better in their own eyes or perhaps what hasn’t worked so well.
google 'permaculture' : search results show a list of 12 principles, number 4: 'Apply self-regulation and respond to feedback.' I read this to mean, learn from nature and watch what she's telling you. Permaculture principles seem to embody psychological principles for good mental and social health. We share what we learn about nature, and our human nature. Its a personal growth experience for me to learn to listen, pay attention, care and act on advice lovingly offered in response to my request. Permaculture is the manifest expression of hope for our future. Young people need and respect forward looking solutions which embrace their futures encouragingly and supportively. That's what I learned watching permaculture videos this week. Thank you.
Growing a dream one day at a time. I am 5 years in and still learning every day. The joy that comes from the experience I'm unable to explain today and words.
Great story of sustainability. Well done to the owners and to the film makers. Thank you! Can you please do a piece on commercially available compost toilets? Where the users don't have to manually turn the humanure? Many local authorities and home owners would be more open to composting toilets if there was less handling and where they provide more standardised disposal procedures.
My garden sits along a small tidal harbor in Maine. Permaculture makes so much sense to me. Over the past two years, I have incorporated many of the principles described in your videos, using natural, local materials like seaweed, grass clippings, leaves and plant remains to compost each planting bed. Water is collected in barrels from roof runoff and distributed to areas of the garden through soaking hoses or hand watering.
Love the quality of the work of Happen Films. Wish SBS or the ABC would run a collection of your short films when Gardening Australia goes into recess!
It is easier than you think! You just have to put aside fear and leave your comfort zone. You don't need a lot of money or a big space either. You can start step by step, making a small change every week, starting from the door of your house out, step by step.
This was pretty cool, although I am *always* squicked about with "humanure" human compost. There's something seemingly relaxing about all of this, although I know that it is a lot of work. I find permaculture interesting, but I'm really not a gardner. I hated digging and weeding, lol. Not to mention I don't own land.
If you don't like digging and weeding then permaculture is probably right up your ally. You should research a little more about it. its quite amazing its all about cohabitation with the world we live in. I personally just starting to learn more and I have been absolutely amazed so far. Here's where I've started my research. permacultureprinciples.com
In australia you definitly have to check out zaytuna developed by the Geoff Lawton. He worked really closely with bill mollison and does amazing work. and excerpt from his site:Zaytuna Farm is situated on a sixty-six acre (27 hectares) property that fronts Terania Creek opposite the village of The Channon, Northern NSW. The property contains 800m of creek frontage, numerous swimming holes and abundant wildlife. The landscape is diverse, covering high frost-free hilltops, ridges and valleys with both cleared paddocks and forested areas.
I particularly like that part about the house facing in a specific Direction allowing for the Sun to heat The slap during particular parts of the year and using grape Vines outside as shading during warmer months. Also noticed their thermal water heater on top of the house directly over that room
This is my wish... May all your dreams come true. Everyone in the comment section who is wishing for this kind of life, I pray for you. May you get there and may you live a life o goodness and lots of fun with your family... Stay blessed people.
I'm so loving this. I've started to watch your videos few weeks ago and i'm loving how you potrayed their stories. I'm planning my own permaculture house so this is so helpful. I'm supporting this project. Will look at ur patreon :)
So good. I just bought an old 50s weatherboard in almost original condition. I want to work towards these concepts particularly the glasshouse room, gravity fed water system, cool cupboard and optimise north facing aspect. However being a single mum I can imagine this would cost a lot to achieve initially….. but where there’s a will there’s a way! Thanks so much for sharing. Where would I start with initial design concepts Eg placement of water tank anf glasshouse room thanks 🙏
Thank you for your inspiring work. Subject ideas? How about expanding permaculture into zones 3 and 4 by including woodland potentials. And in looking at those woodlands and their rewards, could we consider a form of "Coppice Agroforestry", and its ancient practices for producing rotations of "small wood" for food, fuel, fiber and medicine. Thanks again for all you do.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm part of a team that's building a permaculture learning center in Conondale in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland. We have been here 12 months now and have made some amazing progress. Our swales are heading towards a food forest, we' have the chickens making compost, a water filtration System inspired by Jon Jandai and his video using Josh Kerns design. There's heaps more going, on, too much to mention, lol. We were wondering if you would be interested in coming out here and doing a video on the place, I think we would be perfect for your series and we could really do with the exposure. Love your work. Hope to hear from you soon.
It's amazing how resourceful people are. His knowledge about permaculture is really cool and so much going on in such a small area, mini food forest, it's great like this video, thanks for posting
I read 'tiny' so I thought "tha's for me!! ". Turns out that Einstein was right, everything is relative... sigh. But it's a very nice and inspiring place and video. :)
This is very nice. I live in a place where very little of this can be applied but I used to do square foot gardening. Where I am, most of the "permaculture" is basically an announcement that they smoke dope there so come on by and bet high. The Abdallah House is an example of a high functioning and successful project/life style.
I have approx 1 1/4 acre I want to do permaculture in I still have many undesirable trees to cut down mostly pines and sweetgums. Some films on the hardest start up scenarios would be helpful for me and what to do to utilize the wood and mulch I will be generating also have a lot of English Ivy to eradicate. And to top it up Im slightly disabled but determined.
I was surprised by the upright freezer used as a refrigerator; does it really achieve similar characteristics as a fridge but with 20% of the energy use? My instinct would have been the reverse - run a chest freezer as a refrigerator. The cold air settles vertically whereas in an upright unit the cold air 'falls out' whenever you open the door, making chest fridges/freezers naturally more efficient, if less convenient to use and with a larger footprint.
If you use vines and leaves to shade your house aren't you inviting bugs such as termites and ants into your frame? After I bought my first house, code, and advise, all tell me to keep 6 inches of concrete between the ground and my siding, as well as keeping all vegetation away from the siding and roof. Why is his house not being eaten and invaded by bugs?
Just curious but how many people would pay to have a permculture farm this made? How about a subscription for maintainence? And what about a lowered or free offer of the services based on a model where you give a part of the produce or surplus as payment recurring?
Omgosh. Enjoyed the video. I have a large backyard. I compost harvest water, I have 6 Citrus Trees, but wanted to start a vegetable garden. You're such an inspiration. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your videos I like the idea of using a controller to regulate the freezer temperature do you have the brand name for that unit! Thank you 😊
Thankyou so much for sharing this, what a lot of work should have been this to build and maintain as a lifestyle. My goal is to live like this as well!
I own 1 acre that I’m not utilizing AT ALL... This inspires me to put it to use and take better care of it. 👍🏻❤️😁
How's it going?
I recommend hugel beds and creating a food forest garden
All the best , Adam...
Have u started..???
And here l am raking my mind on how to get 1 acre of land for growing fruit and vegetables.

Thank you so much again and again, over and over.

Great film thank you! Would love to see a perennial polyculture type set up with regenerative grazing; maybe you already have done one so I'll go through the archives.

The Gardener in me: Wow this is so cool!
The OCD Monster in me: Can someone please, for the love of god, fix the title!!!
haha
What a beautiful place! Their use of the semi-submerged cold cellar/water storage tied to the cool pantry is genius! Thanks for sharing this tour.

what an amazing lifestyle, this is so inspiring! Thanks a lot for this interesting video.
Very interesting. We probably will learn more of permaculture by these examples. Thanks for sharing.

Wow he really nailed it on a small block. Would be great if we got some constructive feedback about what they could have done better in their own eyes or perhaps what hasn’t worked so well.

I have approx 1 1/4 acre I want to do permaculture in I still have many undesirable trees to cut down mostly pines and sweetgums.
