8:18 I think you mean UN-inhabitable for the Bermuda Grass. I love how planting clover and other cover crops tips the scale in favor of the plants you want, so that instead of fighting against the Bermuda grass, you’re working towards your crops doing well. The shift might not be instantaneous, but it happens and takes minimum effort.
I didn't know there was a way if getting rid of Bermuda grass. I have that nasty stuff everywhere. The roots are huge, long and crawl under the soil with black out tarps held down with sand bags to find sunlight. It blows my mind at how strong it is.
I will definitely buy me some of that clover. What is the exact name? Is it red clover? ?? I’ve been making my own compost for three years. I don’t have any manure. It is straight carbon and scraps leaves do water it a lot and this year it came out beautiful that I’m actually using. I made three I don’t know 60 gallon buckets I just started a new batch and I turned it today and put water on it. Put a bunch of newspaper brown paper bags that I had , so it works even though I don’t have manure it dry from broken down leaves and just scraps and I’m a big pretty good big cook so I have plenty of scraps vegetables fruit you know, pineapple, scraps, lettuce, scraps tomato, and when I turned some of my soil today was already ready to start I amended a few tubs that I have and I was happy to see a bunch of red worms worms in my soil and a bunch of babies so that makes me happy. I think I’m doing something right so just wanted to tell you and I feel like I do learn a lot from y’all this is my fourth year and I’m getting better. It was very successful with carrots this year and I just planted a bunch of new carrots. I’m still, working on garlic and onions can you give us tips on how to get some great garlic and onions? #PermaConsultantQuestion ? Please help us with my onions and my garlic.

Permaculture Q&A: Do you have any advice on how to manage poison ivy? Our farm had been neglected for several years and we are working on getting it all back going the right direction but have several areas where the poison ivy is spreading like mad. We have one patch that is covering about 1/8 of an acre. The sheep and goats like it but My kids and myself react to it and would love to keep the plant in a more moderate quantity if possible. We are in central NC if that makes a difference
#Permaculture Q&A - What about purslane? I'm in Cameron, TX. Purslane shows up in every garden bed. Raised bed, in ground, container, everywhere. We eat it and I feed it to my animals. Do I need to remove it from around the other plants? Does it take away too many nutrients? Or can it be used as a cover crop?
After my dad's death, a couple years of overhead watering (can't figure out his complex watering set-up) on our previously very productive but small NorCal Market Garden has allowed the horsetail weed that was already here to spread and spread and spread. Is there a good permaculture method to help get rid of it? It is toxic to my now 2-year-old chickens I would like to let graze there! Can clover also work against horsetail????
Hey William. Planted fruit trees a few years ago, but they kept getting decimated by deer (yes, I put some in the freezer). But I also used bone sauce (thanks Billy!) and enclosed the garden/orchard in fencing too. We are building a food forest among those trees. Thanks for all the prior videos! #PermacultureQandA - in SC we have terrible fire ants. The orange oil recipe is not great. Neither is the borax recipe. Boiling water does not seem to work. Permethrin works (but is synthetic). What might I use to tamp down these agents of satan? I don't need my 21 month old nor my 9 year old getting covered while helping in the garden or food forest. Thanks!
Hey Daniel. We here in Florida use baking soda. Mix up a batch with half baking soda and powdered sugar. Put it on and around the mound. Takes a few days to work. For immediate results.... spread a generous amount of baking soda and pour white vinegar on it. Either method works and they have not returned to that area for over a year now.
I find trees on public land like parks for white oak walnut pecan mulberry got peach and looking for apple but I just go medium wrap and clone a new growth branch to get a bare root tree
#permacultureQ&A 1. Could you explain what types of trees and plants are best for Perma-Pasture? What are some spacing strategies, and how does your strategy differ based on what will be grazing? I saw you utilized an existing wooded area and thinned it to let light in, but I am referring to transforming an open field. 2. Do any deer proofing strategies actually work? We have heavy pressure in Appalachia. I planted a lot of blackberries and raspberries in the woods to hopefully keep them away from my apples. I’ll have to let you know how this attempt plays out.
#permacultureQ&A Hey William, i have some willow cuttings i got from Etsy, I am wondering if willow is a nitrogen fixer. my initial plan is to use my willows as chop and drop utilizing a coppice or pollard method. does that sound like a good idea to you? where can i find a list of specific nitrogen fixer trees or plants?
@@ThePermacultureConsultant because you are a smart young man (giving me hope for the future). I had to learn that one the hard way last year as a recent transplant to Texas.
Temple Texas is NOT west Texas. It is CENTRAL Texas.The Central Texas Region includes three metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs): the College Station-Bryan MSA comprising Brazos, Burleson and Robertson counties; the Waco MSA comprising Falls and McLennan counties; and the Killeen-Temple MSA comprising Bell, Coryell and Lampasas counties.West Texas is a loosely defined region in the U.S. state of Texas, generally encompassing the arid and semiarid lands west of a line drawn between the cities of Wichita Falls, Abilene, and Del Rio.
#PermacultureQ&A What could reject organic hydroponic lettuces be used for besides feeding pigs, rabbits, and poultry? Last week there were about 12-16 50# grain bags filled with lettuce covered with the 4 stages of bugs on lots of the plants OR very many blackened edges with some mold or mildew on the black edges. Thanks! Have a blessed day!
#permacultureq&a Hey Boss. I live on the Bolivar peninsula near Galveston and I'm trying to grow fruit trees along with pecan trees. We have a very shallow water table here. Do you have any recommendations to prevent root rot and how to improve the sandy soil? God Bless you and your family... 🤠
In a square inch of soil there are bilions of microbes(bacterias, fungus, etc). Even if you kill all vegetation with herbicides. If you add water and food (organic matter, or even sintetic fertilizers) "microbes" will grow instantly. Grow and die. Many of them have a life span of minutes. Even seconds. Microbes are everywhere. Always. Even in our mouth, after washing it with chemical products.
#permacultureQandA Hi William, I'm developing a cover crop strategy for 6 acres of land that has been primarily a hay field for many years. I'm in VA 7a and wondering what you would suggest as a 4 season plan for improving clay soil for large fields in this growing zone. Thanks for your help!
#permacultureQ&A My property has mostly water oaks, southern magnolias, maples. I did find a small pear tree that is about 7 feet tall. Is it possible to use that pear tree to start permaculture around it. I also have some areas where trees were removed but the hole was not filled. I have thrown a few half rotted logs in there, would it be beneficial to add in some green material to help it break down. Lastly how do you keep ants and termites at bay. I am in Southern Mississippi Zone 8b I belive.
#Permaculture Q&A: Can I add wild goose droppings to my compost or use it similar to chicken manure? I've been told it may introduce pathogens that I wouldn't want to be putting into my garden. Thanks.
#PermacultureQandA you have mentioned that daffodils and chives deter rabbits and deer from eating plants, is it only those 2? And do you have a search engine prompt to get cheap daffodils like you do for bare root trees?
#permacultureq&a What are my best options for turning overgrown forest into quality pasture for livestock? My land is overgrown with cedar trees mainly, and I don’t have much money to put towards buying pasture seed mixes. Thank you for your time.
In the last question, Jadam Microbial Solution was mentioned but you didn't much address it. What do you think about it? It seems to work for a lot of people, but it contradicts the Elaine Ingham school of thought where everything anaerobic is "le bad". What do you think about that subject?
On the face of it, it doesn't make sense. It seems like you're getting stuck in the same loop that you would with traditional fertilizers. I want to avoid having to constantly reapply homemade fertilizers. That being said, I'm interested in looking at some of the fertilizers under a microscope.

#permacultureQ&A Have you tried mushroom compost? What are the pros and cons of using mushroom compost? How can soils be remediated of mushroom compost? How can soils be remediated of biosolids?
Gotta disagree about the Bermuda grass, it thrives in compost piles, woodchip piles, amazing garden beds full of clover and soil life, and crappy compacted clay walkways. Even double layering cardboard if there is a crack Bermuda grass will find it and shoot a stem up from the rhizomes that grow under every barrier I've tried
Cardboard will not kill bermuda, nor any rizhome type grasses. Nor will "cover crops". Anyway, all this talk about "microbes" (what microbes: bacteria, fungus, which ones, how many?) Is totally unbased. As it is the "bacteria x fungal dominated soil" theories.
That's an indicator that the compost and wood chips weren't as good as you may have thought they were. Have you noticed Bermuda grass doesn't grow in the forest?
@ThePermacultureConsultant I have indeed. Doesn't seem to grow well anywhere heavily shaded. I've found rhizomes trying to spread under shade but doesn't establish itself without plenty of sun.
I love ALL The Permaculture Consultant videos!
Awesome as usual! Really enjoying this Q&A...

What bare roots do you have left and where can I purchase them?
How do you get tons of organic clover seeds? Or is it ok to use any clover seeds just to get started?
I would just use whatever you have access to.

it'll take time for the microbes to move anywhere; think how small they are. compost teas and foliar feeding might provide quicker results.
In a square inch of soil there are bilions of microbes(bacterias, fungus, etc). Even if you kill all vegetation with herbicides.
If you add water and food (organic matter, or even sintetic fertilizers) "microbes" will grow instantly. Grow and die. Many of them have a life span of minutes. Even seconds. Microbes are everywhere. Always. Even in our mouth, after washing it with chemical products.
Non grafted trees are the best if you got no time.
