  Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating swales. Thanks for this video. We need all the help we can get.

  I kept on telling myself that I should have found this kind of informative video 5 years ago which was the time I started planting trees to make my tiny forest. But I will apply this technic to thicken my Tiny Forest and at the same time make a proposal to the local leaders to rescue the damaged lands to turn them into the useful places for our next generation. Thank you for sharing. Big heart from Thailand

  I have to say that Rebel is refreshingly and unusually articulate. The language is precise and expressive and generally a pleasure to listen to

  One secret of gardening I have aiways believed in is the slowing down the movement of water through the garden enviroment..

  Here in Brazil we have thornless "prickely pears" which are a main staple for animals in the drought, and are great companion plantings for gardens and even cornfields.They favor everything, and being rich in calcium are excelent elements in garden compost. As in the example  here, we use them to help establish trees in pure white sand and 400mm of rain...

  This needs to be a company and work with councils to terraform regions.<br>Amazing, I&apos;m out west NSW and my property has been eaten to clay by over grazing, I will be adopting this to bring life back to Eden.

  This is nothing more than regenerative farming in practice without going into the depth of the soil food web. Improving the soil micro-organisms takes time or can be increased by known methods, compost teas and worm teas. She has done a great job.

  Something I had hoped to achieve on my own property but unfortunately due to illness I only got one third completed. It&apos;s wonderful to see such a garden thriving!

  I really enjoyed what this lady had to say. Thanks for bringing her voice to your channel. Her message was simple to understand.

  This was great to watch.<br>When I was young I was reading about permaculture, a system pioneered by Bill Mollison, which used the same principles, employed to the same effect.<br>Whatever name the system is given, it&apos;s great to see people restoring the land.

  Planting water sounds silly but it’s a very ancient practice for those who have never heard of it. I know very little but you essentially &nbsp;pick a place ideal for pooling water not near a house or other places where mosquitos or water damage can occur. I has to be pretty far from a house. (I don’t know the specifics) Anyways you dig a hole to a specific size put in rocks, brown sugar and sea salt…..not in this order and I dunno the amount, then cover it up and I think you plant a tree near by &nbsp;to mark the spot. Overtime whatever properties it has will “call” water thru the hole, so you actually made a spring from the hole. <br>Sounds crazy but it’s real. My great uncle did this and learned techniques from South American natives, then my grandfather did this and our property in mexico has many unknown springs. <br>My late grandfather would clean the largest spring each year for his beloved animals but my uncle has refused for years causing drought for the first time in ages. <br>Sometimes great knowledge is lost due to our own family refusing to carry out traditions.

  I watched my Neighbors grow Hemp and the roots went through the hardpan down 8ft, Impressive for this ground which looks a lot like your ground. &nbsp;Hemp seed is high food value and High CBD&apos;s but does Not get one high and does feed Birds and small animals. The tropical Butterflies are really cool to see.
