Videos I learn from
These are free videos I have watched over and over. Crazy good examples of everything you want to know!
Geoff Lawton Video’s. Here are some of my favorites:
Perennial Abundance – Tour of Eric Toensmeir’s and Johnathan Bate’s legendary 1/10th of an acre property in cold climate Massachusetts with over 200 perennial vegetable crops. https://vimeo.com/168769049
BioGas System: Example of a working biodigester generating and providing enough cooking gas for a 4-person family. Fascinating! https://vimeo.com/168769038
The $500 House. Do you know about Natural Building materials like Cob? Cob = sand, clay and straw and makes an earthen substitute for concrete. It’s also breathable and can last hundreds of years! https://vimeo.com/168761285
The Property Purchase Checklist: If you are looking for land or thinking about purchasing property, what are some of the things you should look for? More importantly in what order or priority should these criteria place on your evaluation of the property. For me the first three are 1) Water 2) Access 3) house / structures – https://vimeo.com/168769052
Chicken Tractor on Steroids. Want to raise chickens and not buy food plus get all the amazing compost you could ever want at the same time? https://vimeo.com/168769025
Advanced Cell Grazing. Really awesome rotational grazing system. Keeping animals on a particular pasture too long can destroy the land, also not putting animals on pasture can also ruin it. The solution is pulsing animals on the pasture for a specific amount of time where they can manure it and stomp in some organic matter (pasture grass or other biomass) to feed microbes and other soil life. This done properly will dramatically improve the soil and produce not only more plants but better plants. https://vimeo.com/168769029
