- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Join Andrew Millison in 2013 as he travels back to Arizona and revisits several Permaculture projects installed in the late 1990's to see how they are working and growing. We go from the arid forest in Prescott at 5300', down to the desert grasslands of Arcosanti at 3500', then down to the Sonoran Desert in Tucson at 2600'. Come along for the ride!

I am a huge fan of your videos! Thank you for making these valuable guides to water retaining landscapes. Respect from Hawaii
Great video. I've read both of Brad's books and love the progress that you've made with our projects. I've used some of his (and lawtons, etc,.) principles to grow native 60 day corn on my land south of Tucson with only rainwater. Thanks for posting this!
R u alive now?
Do u remember the moment u commented here?
I loved seeing the before and afters. Proves the system does work.
Great to see that you got some of your learning from here in Prescott! I've been here since 2nd grade and both my parents grew up here. A great place to live.
Lmfao the music was too much for me. Though it was cool to see that empress trees actually grow that fast.
isnt that tree invasive?
hahaha I have to agree...unbearable!
Andy, love your work!
This is encouraging. We live in Prescott and it is really dry and barren. I've been wanting to plant things and create a food forest (or at least a wild garden) but have feared the usage of water and also the pests and critters that come around. Nice video. Thanks. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Amazing video and a great inspiration for all of us. Thx Andrew!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those Paulownia trees look great...and they will be adding some nice humus to the ground
awesome to bring your son and show him , lovely video :0
It's inspiring and motivating to see the progress simply from working with nature and utilizing what's already available.
I've been thinking of moving to Sedona or somewhere in the Verde Valley to do permaculture, this video makes it seem even more possible. :)
Did you?
Charming and inspiring as always.
The power of permaculture!
We're living at a pivotal time. The way we've husbanded the earth can't continue. We'll need to change. New ways will need to be implimented. There are so many answers just now being discovered. Rotational Grazing and Key Line land management, (which these examples seem to mimic), no till large scale extensive agriculture can re-green and reclaim the deserts. Soil life can return to enrich the soil once more. Allen Savory in Africa has proven that rotational grazing can bring back grassland. The same can be said of these methods being used in Australia. New advances in urban farming and gardening, like hydroponics and aquaponics can be implimented and adapted to grow food in cities, chickens and pigs can be raised in confinement on deep bedding with little or no flies or odors, vacant lands in cities can be reclaimed from brush, vines and noxious weeds with grazing livestock. now with new light emitting diode lighting food can be grown even indoors without natural sunlight and with little energy input. Edible mushrooms can be grown on wastes in the dark. I have hope for the future. It's expected that that we will need to produce 60% more food by 2050, I'm seeing ways it can be done. Green Schools like the pilot project in Bali can teach the next generations quickly and in time to slow and eventually stop world wide hunger! It's an exciting time indeed!
James Ison exciting time, indeed my friend! The best part is proved that can be done that takes the guessing away, it’s just a matter of doing now!
I bought Brad Lancaster's books when I lived in Mojave, CA, and while I now live in coastal Florida, much of the logic still applies. I was delighted to see the old VW bus on Lancaster's property, my first two cars were buses!
Omg to have Andrew as a dad!
Very nice indeed to see the results of a lot of hard work.
Just need an underground diverter pipe- directed in to your drywell -to perfect the roof runoff through the downspout.
Let’s see it now!
Awesome! Any new updates?
This is pretty neat!
want to learn permaculture? take the course at OSU. Simply awesome.
I live on a mountain outside of seligman Arizona, trying to figure out how to apply permaculture here, I'd love to turn all my land into a self sustaining permaculture forest
Your kid is fearless... I'd be scared silly at that height.
He has the balance of a cougar. But I also make sure I'm within arms reach at that height!
6:50 we could go out there!!!
Awesome!
your mind is inspirational
Amen, brother ;-)
Yeah, I'm almost ready to do a "High Desert Permaculture 25 Years Later!" But you can see Brad lancaster's street in more recent times here: ruclips.net/video/uYmgYF-mQfI/видео.html
atlast some good video to preserve nature on youtube rather than wepons and people swearing at each other.
What track is that, you have a link, what artist? "First come the Earth, you got to take care of it/then come the people then just fare share of it/design for the earth you design for yourself/help design a world better for you and everybody else"

agora 24 anos ja passou,tudo enormes
How about some 2020 photos?
Thanks. The comparisons and notes make this very educational. I've posted it on www.Facebook.com/lotan.ga and I'll use it in our course.
Awesome
what is the depth of the tree mulch basin? i mean - how deep should the mulch be below the ground level?
Typically 4 inches of mulch is best. If it's thicker, then lighter rains may not get through to the soil.
+Andrew Millison awesome! when i saw your video in the beginning, i thought you need to fill an entire hole with mulch, but now i understand its much easier. keep on doing the great job, this is fascinating and enlighting.
I'd love to know - 9 years later - how your kid has developed lol! First wanting to get into a fast running stream, then telling you - let's climb up there...and you... the voice of reason...saying umm, let's think about this son! 😂🤣😅
Whats the Name of the Song at 3:36
I don't know about capturing road run-off. It's mixed with vehicle pollutants and general litter. Nice video, though.
Runoff from roads does have some degree of pollution. The idea is that it becomes bound up in woody plants and is not transmitted to the fruits or seeds. Channeling road runoff into edible annual plants is a bad idea, but it's considered sake into woody perennials.
Wonderful countryreggae
I have a feeling you made the song and sung it
Haaa :( ?en español? :( ?o por lo menos traduccion?
Jesus christ the music tho... >.
Pronounce Prescott as Press cott not press cut
It's supposed to rhyme with biscuit.
Preskitt is named after the historian Prescott who was a grandson of the revolutionary Prescott who was fighting against the British in the revolutionary war. He changed the pronunciation of his name to Preskitt to differentiate himself from the British warrior with the same last name.
At least that is how I understand how the city Preskitt got it's pronunciation from. There's even a book called "We Call It 'Preskit'"
Hope that helps 😀
The music killed my vibes...
Jonathan Knobel 😂
what is the song called? 3.30
James, The song is "I am the Mountain". It's from a band I used to have and the recording was made around 1999. If you send me an e-mail, I'll send you the MP3: amillison@gmail.com

I thought that was your voice.
San Diego County said I can't do this on any land larger than 5 1/2 acres without an agricultural license, which starts at 100k in Fees, plus, takes 3 years (avg time waiting for approval), which they pocket (for their approval services)(despite my tax dollars already paying for their salaries)((Double Taxation Without Representation)).
Everyone deserves a fair shake, even employees and idc's of all Govt agencies, but, where do we draw the line? Arizona is better in at least that category, but no place on earth is perfect.
I don't know where my ideal place to live is anymore. It's not Mars. Who wants to fly around in an Iron man suit for life? 😂😂😂😂😂
try el paso county, tx. or Hudspeth.
a fee is not the same as a tax.
@@darinladd5312 One could easily argue whether that is the case when the agency passing down fees and taxes do so in a wasteful manner. They require septic systems, for instance, of which only last 40 years. It cost 20-50k to install a septic system, and after 40 years, a new one has to be built. A compost toilet and gray water system cost 1200, and last a lifetime, and is less toxic than a septic system for the environment and human health. Despite this, government requires the more expensive, less sustainable option. A fee, and/or tax can be two very similar things, especially when the codes enforce unsustainable practices that violate one's health and financial prosperity.
music makes this unbearable'
omg that security guard...imagine if Andrew was black!
Mr. Lancaster is watering his garden with oil and other stuff from the road run off . Not my idea of a good plan for an edible food forest. Road runoff aka stormwater contains heavy metals, micro plastic and hydrocarbons. I wouldn't eat that food, Otherwise it's a sound idea. I mean he is just using the road as a swale, albeit a highly toxic swale
