Morag, listening to you teach is so soothing! I've really enjoyed this and your other presentations. The observation point, I think, is so key. This is my first year really gardening, and while it can be overwhelming, I threw a ton of things out there, in various methods (all no dig though!) to see what happened. I observed the weather, insects, creatures, and wild plants (so many are edible and medicinal!!). It was glorious! I learned so very much, that even though I had "failures", the knowledge that they evoked was just astounding! One of my biggest surprises, was a transplanted (it was direct sown close to another so it was moved) tomato I chose not to prune or to tie up, in partial shade, and impossible to check for hornworms so I didn't. It has outperformed every other plant out of about 65. I certainly saved those seeds!
My wife and I are done raising our children and are now proud grandparents. We both are very happy to see you working with the youngsters in so many videos. Thank you very much for taking time to record and teach. It is appreciated.
It's a process to clean up our destructive ways .... In the past 10 years, I have managed to: * switch all laundry & cleaning products to brands that come in cardboard * wash all dishes by hand, capturing the rinse water to water plants (capture & reuse water used to rinse veggies/fruits, too) * grow as much as I can, & try to purchase what I can't from local organic farmers * unfortunately, I currently don't have chickens .... so I ensure to Never buy eggs in styrofoam, compost the paper-mache' cartons, and reuse the clear plastic ones to sort/store small items. * party balloons? I have six of the small mylar birthday balloons on a stick that get reused every birthday in the immediate family ... they last for years! (have had ours for 10 years & as part of our birthday tradition, they all come out of the seasonal closet the morning of a birthday & get popped into potted plants around the living room )
Dear Morag ~ Mahalo nui, thank you very much for this great description, as I am working on a 1/4-acre wildly windy, & cool --sometimes wet, sometimes very dry and hot hillside, and you are giving me so much clarity on how to go out and take each baby step, after months of observing, and a good beginning...Beautiful gift, you are and this is. Blessings from Maui, Claire (aka Claire Kellerman) :)
Morag , always enjoy learning from you. Please let me know the name of the tree you said was around for thousands of years in episode #11 (Use edges and value).
Is it my computer having replay issues, or is the sound all metallicy and wobbly for others too? Hard to understand various spoken parts all throughout; fortunately the CC helps understand the scrambled parts. Great resource, thanks Morag!
Sorry, that is just how it is - the webinar recording quality is less than ideal. The second half was worse so I recorded it directly. Thanks for your understanding.
There is such a wonderful network of permaculture people in England (www.permaculture.org.uk/) and a fabulous magazine (www.permaculture.co.uk). No need to move - just hook into the local knowledge and experience
I've always found principle 7 to be difficult to relate to because the scale I am working with is rather small and urban-like. I am starting to feel like a little island of permaculture in the middle of an increasingly destructive urban setting. I see older houses around me being demolished to make space for bigger houses, reducing the amount of land actually available to grow anything. Not only that, but the demolition and construction process involving big machinery is destroying the soil, increasing compaction, etc.. when the construction is done, a nice little layer of lawn will be applied on top and very little will ever grow until the soil is rebuilt. Sometimes I feel like my backyard is a worm refuge.
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife Oh dear, I’m still confused. In the video you seem to refer to the pathway through the garden as a keyhole pathway, saying that it collects water. Is the pathway just a pathway, or does it collect water in some way? Sorry if it’s really obvious and I’m just being thick.
I would call it a responsive design approach. Nature does not come with a step by step instruction book, therefore in order to design with nature we need to be in constant observation of and relationship with natural systems
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife lol. True true. I'm all about abservation. But everything has steps, even ur garden. I'm sure something was built first and then the next and so on.
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife Naww..Ive watched a lot of Geoff Lawson fella on amazon and a bit of Bill, but its to philosophical and less practical. I wont quit though. This my escape plan from the rat race. I think one day it was just click. ill check out ur other vids. i appreciate ya
@@BibleSamurai My offer stands for people to send in special requests of what to make a permaculture video about, or what to focus on for a Masterclass. You are welcome to suggest a topic.

Awesome video thanks 🙏
Loved especially your 'integrate rather than segregate' - can very much relate to your experience...
Thanks for watching! The principles really do offer a useful frame for thinking and reflecting
Tasmania is on the way to being a permaculture Mecca... It's a quiet revolution 😁

Im having the same experience
Same here
Sorry, that is just how it is - the webinar recording quality is less than ideal. The second half was worse so I recorded it directly. Thanks for your understanding.
That's OK morag, I did watch it OK after all. Fantastic info
Thanks Morag, as I said the CC helps understand the scrambled parts. Keep up the amazing videos!
holy wow this was great ! thanks so much for taking the time to do this !

How would this be applied in England? If not possible where should I move to?

We can do what we can, where we are, with what we have ... and the worms will love you for it.🙂
I can’t quite visualise what keyhole pathways are. I know what keyhole beds are, but not pathways. Hope you can clarify for me.
Polly Oz - the keyhole path is the hole in the bed
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife Oh dear, I’m still confused. In the video you seem to refer to the pathway through the garden as a keyhole pathway, saying that it collects water. Is the pathway just a pathway, or does it collect water in some way? Sorry if it’s really obvious and I’m just being thick.
@@pollyoz2193 maybe you could Google the keyhole pathway/ bed concept and look at images to help you visualise it better. 🙂
The natural elements and the personal elements connected for the best what?
I love what you are doing

Hello from slovenia.
Hello!
Can you make a video where you talk about your composting toilet?
Here's a little one. ruclips.net/video/XRgIAWZ8tlQ/видео.html
Interesting topic but can't stand the advertisements interrupting the video every 3-4 minutes.
Oh really - that's a shame. I had no idea that was happening! Thanks for letting me know.
Hasn't happened with your other videos which are all pretty much awesome 👌🏻
i dunno. permaculture always seems vague. no step by step like building a dresser

@@BibleSamurai Of course. This is explained really well in most permaculture books and through permaculture design courses.
