and I wish I could mentally transfer all my experience in one go for you 3 to pick from that might work in both your situations. Like yt bottle tower garden by Willem Van Cottham bc he was the first. The bottle are upside down with a filler funnel bottle, the water traveled down threw the neck to the bottle below and down to the next when a dribble arrives in the 7th bottle thats the catchment bottle I had one that started out a single metal bed frame and I turned it on its side and I placed bottles with veggies on bothsides of the head, foot, and the base, so a lot of growing room. I even made a fence with Willem's big plastic containers, ya get to see later on in the vid. The thing with the 2-3 lb square containers there's more holes in the lid that in the bottom it gives the water time to moisten before moving down into the lower containers. and corner stone where his land ends but got reminded if he's caged his hens against thieves they could take me fence lolol now I'm cheeky now its my fence sorry. I got other ideas next time it'll be wicking buckets.

Great stuff Danou! I really wish I was around to meet up and chat! Great that you got to see Danielle's place and show it to others! And great to see Marcelle in action as well! What a storey that gentleman has! And thanks for the kind words! It's tough out here in the Namib, but we soldier on!

Dude! I just finished this video and realised you were literally in my street!! At the Van Rensburg Plot! We are a little further up around the corner opposite the horse stables in that same street! Man! I wish I was around!!

No shorts today

Lekker man! Catching up now with all the vids... Where are you getting game hunting prices of NAD27/kg from? That's very cheap...

great idea mate

Those houses are very nice good luck and garden on

4.92 K !!! 😁

We live in Wellington, near Cape Town, South Africa. As a child in Aberdeen, Great Karoo, South Africa, we picked up weak wind swallows every day in the midday heat. We revived them by sprinkling them lightly with water and keeping them in a small perforated box with an old nest to rest in. When the afternoon cooled down enough, we threw them into the air where we found them, to fly back to where they belong.

Very sound advice can be very bad advice for my location, aspect to the sun, soil type, prevailing wind direction, etc., ect., etc.. On offence ... No offense is committed when no offence is taken.

Nice to get a look inside the lives of people living there.

Emanual's garden will thrive once it gets going and soil quality improves. Hopefully, it will become a shining example of what can be done with very little money - and hopefully other townsfolk will want to copy it. Don't forget to try some climbers on those garden walls and fences.

👍

keep up the great work guys looks awesome.

nice😊

It’s good that you are observing all these opportunities with your pattern understanding getting better. For the water tank I think you should get it done properly to begin with. I’m sure the job would be harder when there are established plant you won’t want to disturb around the tank. I think it would help avoid more work in the future. Also if that tank fails will they have water?

Real social justice starts with the soil. Nice work.

It looks as though your investments are taking hold. Even doing it wrong or not doing anything, changes are happening. As you noted, a simple brush pile can bring life.

I've really enjoyed watching your work. Could you please introduce yourself at the start of the videos? I'm still not sure how to pronounce your name.

Mushrooms are a sure sign you’re doing things right.

I really love these videos! Thank you for sharing!!

I wonder if you could grow dragon fruit there

Is the Marla not too close to the house?

It’s good to see you taking care of the people in the communities around you!

What do they do with the human waste

I think if you can add mulch that looks 'neat', like sifted wood chips or something, people may be more accepting than of something that looks 'messy'.

Happy wife, happy life. 😊

The litter problem is so sad because it all ends up in rivers and seas eventually . I cleared up a small area of rubbish once and it has stayed beautiful since ! But that is much larger . Are there any projects to clear up the litter and replace with trees?

I really respect the fact you share daily broadcasts because I know it takes time to edit the video and try and help others set up projects . It’s also interesting seeing Namibia because I’ve never seen footage of the country before except on the odd wildlife programme

Paint the inside of the tank with a mixture of coarse salt and cement 50/50 mixture. Cheapest way to seal it. Added benefit is should you want to keep some fish in it later they won't die...

Fixing the tank now might be better. You can always attach a short drip line to the outlet for a more controlled irrigation of that area.

❤ Thanks Danou, loved it.

This is going to sound daft, but does Emmanuel have a girl dog? Their urine is particularly bad for a lot of plants, especially if the dog goes to the toilet in the same places each day. We see it on one corner of our lawn where the eldest female always goes the grass just dies off, not to mention if they also do the kicking afterwards. Just something to bear in mind for very young, fragile plants.

Regarding the leaky water tank - take time to observe and wait before making the decision

I do love the micro donations aspect of this channel, rather than blindly donating to big charities. Thanks for the work.

I just learned about VETIVER GRASS. It would make a great munching crop for your land and the roots go really deep

wow i just have seen google earth made by BeshyBees, and its amazing, i was thinking about it literally today and here we go! thanks BB! Danou, maybe you can record a video with this map+drone sharing some plans or general overview of your land and lovely river dringin you tons of water when it's time

I vote for repairing the tank now. Waiting might cause bigger leaks when there is more pressure inside the tank after a bigger rain event, or make it more difficult to repair at a later stage. And it is better to have control over where he wants to put the water and to be ready to collect water during the rain season. The mulch looks great. Once you are hooked to Permaculture it is hard not to see a project in every corner of the land 😃Lets hope that one day the township will look like a lovely food forest and that the people are going to learn how they can grow an abundance of food. One garden at a time.👍

Do your guys eat spinach. Easy to grow. 10 to 20 plants will give you pickings almost every day. Taught my guys grow spinach. We are from South Africa

At its heart permaculture is about community. Theres so much land there around those homes that could be planted to feed people

I am concerned that the roots of the tree that is growing so close to the house will interfere with the house's foundations as it grows. Do you think it might be good to move it back a little.

,🌱💚🥰 loving this project
