Permaculture

Pruning, biochar, and thinking about fertility inputs for next season. There is a never ending supply of positive actions we can take every year, and the spring time, with it's slightly cooler days, is a great time to maximize how much we get done. We are full of energy after the winter, and it's important that we capitalize on these critical next months. What can you get done, that will pay it forward to your future self? Lets get to work! ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Now, don't get me wrong, this latest weather proves nothing. It is what it is. One data point. The weather has always changed. What matters is the rate. Weather swings like this aren't just inconvenient. They can be devastating. They can wipe entire crops out. They can wipe entire colonies of insects out. In 1 day, these weather swings can kill trees who have worked almost a decade to produce fruit. What we need now is action. More than ever. We need to reforest our planet. It starts with you. And me. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Offset your carbon footprint on Wren: https://www.wren.co/start/canadianpermaculturelegacy. The first 100 people who sign up will have 10 extra trees planted in their name! Today we use the permaculture principle of observing your land, and we might have learned a natural and humane way to deal with rabbits in the food forest. This method may or may not work, but it MAY and that's what is important. If it does, it could turn one of the largest cold hardy food forests pests into a tremendous source of fertility and joy. Can we deal with rabbits by.... feeding them? What if we could feed them with a plant that we are going to cut back in the spring anyways? What plant? Well, you'll have to watch to find out.

This video was sponsored by "Rabbits with huuuuuuuuge......." *makes rabbit biting motions" How I defend against rabbits (and I'm not perfect, I should have double checked all my trees!). Life gets busy though, and mistakes were made... So now... how can we maybe save some damaged trees using bridge grafts.... This doesn't mean fences are going up. It doesn't mean I will trap them (although I would if my family would eat them - but we really don't eat enough meat to do that). It means that if I TRULY believe I want an ecosystem, that part of that price is having animals be animals. So it doesn't become about "how do I eradicate them", but instead how do I mitigate their damage? .. and mitigation doesn't mean elimination. It means that I need to be mentally okay with losing a tree now and then. I'm either a hypocrite or I'm not. So part of the price of being attuned to my belief system, is that I need to accept where my belief system causes my food forest damage. Then I try to minimize it. I could have done a better job this year. I will try to do better from now on. In the end, time is finite, and we can only do so much. I will use this information to re-evaluate my position on having a truly open and wild system. However so far my stance still hasn't changed. These guys do more good than harm, and I want them here. I just need to protect my trees better - specifically "higher" during large snow accumulation. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

The last series of our viewer vids for the year of 2021 is now ready for your viewing enjoyment! For anyone new to these, this series of videos is my attempt to help build community online... to showcase YOUR gardens and new food forests - whether you live on 5 acres, or a patio pot garden in an apartment. I want to showcase how people are using permaculture to create self-resiliency in their lives. As always, my goal in this channel isn't to become some famous youtuber. I'm much too introverted to care about that kind of thing. My ideal lifestyle is to be alone in the mountains somewhere, in the middle of nature. No, my goal for this channel is to INSPIRE YOU to start planting trees - because that's what I want my legacy to be. And the best way to inspire people to start some massive movement isn't by telling them how good it is, or telling them how critically important it is (even though both are true)... it's by SHOWING them how amazing this life is. And you do that with examples of people DOING IT!!! So strap in, check out all these fellow community members - members of the collective human beings WHO CARE ABOUT THIS PLANET and want to leave a beautiful home for our future generations. People who don't want to just hide and watch the world burn and collapse, but we want to be the people who stood up when we were challenged, and we fought for the world we want. This episode we visit: 2:23 - Brandon in Georgia, US 5:58 - Chris in Alberta, Canada 14:35 - Joe in Wisconsin, US And my apologies to Joe, the audio from the wind was so brutal in many parts of the video that I had to cut a lot of it. Hopefully we can get an update video this summer when everything is awake again. If anyone wants to be part of this series of videos, stay tuned this coming growing season. Hit that subscribe, the notification bell so that you don't miss a video, and when I make announcements for more Viewer vids in 2022 you won't miss it. For those of you whose curiosity I've piqued, and are thinking about "Maybe I should start a food forest", I have 4 words for you. You CAN do it! ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

This one is a request from some comments I have received over the past few years. People wanted something to toss in the background while they did dishes, and just chill, so here you go, winter version. If you all like this, I will set some cameras up this Spring/Summer and hopefully catch some wildlife, etc. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Viewer vids, fall edition. 2:40 Christine, Michigan 8:03 JF, Quebec 11:24 PaleGhost69, South Dakota 12:57 Johanna, Finland I also have a late entry, so if anyone has any videos from this past growing season, or if any of our upside-down friends want to take a video of your gardens right now, I'd love to have them and include them in the next edition of viewer vids! Send them to Permaculturelegacy@gmail.com. Also, let me know what you think of this video series. For anyone who doesn't know, the idea behind these was to grow the community feel, by showcasing all your amazing work. Permacuture is all about building community relationships, so I thought I would use my platform here, to help build community online... especially needed now during Covid lockdowns and such. Sometimes walking around someone else's garden gives us the strength to get through the winter off season, and gets our mind active planning new things on our own lands. I truly believe that everyone has something that they can teach me. There is so much experience out there, in this community especially. One last thing, there is no need to put yourselves on the camera, or even tell us where you live. You can if you want, but if you want to remain completely anonymous, that's also completely okay. Let me know in your email what you want me to call you in the intro text to your segment. Peace and love everyone. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Offset your carbon footprint on Wren: https://www.wren.co/start/canadianpermaculturelegacy The first 100 people who sign up will have 10 extra trees planted in their name! For anyone that didn't know, we were published by Geoff Lawton on a similar topic: https://www.permaculturenews.org/2021/04/09/lets-stop-fighting-and-lets-unify-and-get-busy-healing-our-planet/ If anyone wants to read an article, you can check that out. It was originally written as a reply in a comment to someone, and I thought I could port it over and make it an article. It has a bit of a different slant to the writing style - which I would probably re-do, but at least it has my general position on this topic... that carbon is great to sequester (it builds soil), but that if humanity's approach is to just sequester carbon and ignore the root cause of the problem - which is humanity treading all over nature, then we won't actually accomplish anything. The house of cards is falling, and the carbon approach - while important, is only caring about the spades falling, while we let the rest of the deck crumble. The approach has to be wide-spread restoration of wildlife, habitat, forests, combined with a restructuring of political systems which promote corporate funded destruction of our world for profit and short term thinking to get re-elected, combined with a systematic overhaul of what we call "normal" in our daily lives, and combined with the creation of the infrastructure we need (using the last carbon we have) in order to progress through our 3rd industrial revolution. (See Jeremy Rifkin on what the 3rd industrial revolution is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX3M8Ka9vUA) ______________________ Today we talk about climate change, and the impact of Carbon on climate change. We also introduce our first ever sponsorship, who I'm extremely excited to be working with. We'll talk about why carbon is important, but also why it's not the only thing we need to care about. We'll explain some of the common trappings that lead to misconceptions about the importance (or lack thereof) of carbon in climate change. We'll talk about how restoring our ecosystems, and projects that wren.co is tackling will directly help reverse the damage we've done, and lead us on a regenerative future. Most importantly, please have an open mind when watching this video, and please be kind to others. Our legacy isn't only what we do, it's how we act and treat people. Let your legacy be love and kindness, but also action and fighting for what matters. Let's restore our planet, and leave the world a better place for the generations who follow us. If you can't help directly, then I've got good news for you! Our first ever sponsor is exactly what you are looking for. Peace and love friends, Keith ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Kristina and I will be collaborating this year. This is a response video to her video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao7o8af6CcQ. This video should have lots of tips that will be relevant for anyone starting out. I watched her video and stopped it where I had something to add, some tips to share, general advice to give. Hopefully there's something in here for everyone. And we can all watch her start her food forest from scratch and watch it grow! ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

For those of you who want a new book to read, she has a great playlist on that: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSUQE1Qc6at8Mz_ehLiVToP9lkjBIcExe. Specifically this one is fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HNhrQ3rOBU Or try her playlist for wildlife biology careers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSUQE1Qc6at_vrQLY26YOAZ2_9WkSsYZ3 She also has gardening videos, specifically patio gardening for those of you who are in small spaces and want some good container gardening videos, and also re-wilding and wild-gardening videos using native plants at her new place. Regarding the sponsorship and climate change video, I have more info about the sponsorship is coming on Jan 10th. I KNOW this is something that many of you will enjoy. A way to support my channel and also help the environment. The climate change video I hope will be something that everyone learns from. Hopefully if you personally find yourself on one "side" of the spectrum of carbon is the devil vs carbon is a scam, I can help explain the science behind some of this stuff. And for anyone who thinks I'm going to "pick a side", you haven't been watching this channel. The truth is often in the middle. More on that in my upcoming and very detailed climate change video focusing on carbon. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

In today's video we talk about the 4 main ways to create microclimates in your garden. Each one of these can be delved into deeper - for example, there can be a drastic difference between morning, afternoon and evening sun. Gradients can be created where full shade transitions to full sun, and plants can find the perfect environment they want, using broad sowing techniques. For now we'll keep it general and teach the basics of how to adjust climates. Each of these tools can nudge a location slightly. You may be able to cheat a zone or two. You may be able to save plants from a winter death. Or you may just simple be rewarded with improved yields, or drastically reduce watering. Each one of these will also have lingering effects, often those which build upon itself year upon year. Introducing native fast growing pioneers in a dry area can grow a forest upon a desert, in time. These tools are ones that we will need to rebuild the earth. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Looking for small things you can do to help? Assess your property for light pollution and help save the insects! Also consider adding habitat into your food forests.

So as I hinted at last episode, I had a nice surprise for everyone. I've been taking little shots of the food forest and pond every few weeks all season long. Today is the culmination of that effort - a full season in the food forest from snow to summer to snow. One thing I wish I did was to just set up a tripod and put the camera in the same spot and do a MUCH shorter video, but way more often. Also to have it still, and not moving. That is an improvement I can make for next year. I still think this one turned out okay. A few notes: It's super fun for me to watch Lucy grow up, from the first shot to the last shot. She got so big! It's also sad to see the peach tree before and after it lost a few limbs from over bearing too much fruit. I even thinned 75% of it off!! I guess lesson learned, and I need to do more thinning even! I did also include 4 sequences. Looking at it from the side and from front on. Then for the pond, scanning across the pond, and then just the waterfall area. I hope it's not too repetitive (I fear it may be), but I figured more info is always good. I plan on looking back on this video as the years go by, and well, to be honest, I wanted more shots rather than less. I hope you all don't mind, and you enjoy it! Another season has come and gone. I hope you made the most of it, and if not, then make sure to make the most of the next one. We're in planning season now, so get busy planning your future! And make sure that future includes trees! Thanks for all the support you guys do for this channel. Thanks for spreading the word and letting your friends know about it. I know this channel isn't growing because of me, but rather because of all you guys. Love you all, and lets grow this army and change the planet into the way we want it. Together we can do this. Sometimes I think I was born too late to see humankind land on the moon, and too early to see real space exploration. I've always felt like I'm in the middle. But what I've been realizing is that anyone alive today may be some of the most important humans that ever lived. Because we have a challenge ahead of us like nobody has ever had before. And it's up to us to repair nature and restore it. There has never been a greater challenge, and there has never been more on the line. It's up to all of us. If you are reading this right now, it's up to you. Let's ACT. Let's make our grandchildren proud. Let's heal the Earth. Let that be our legacy. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

Just a meandering journey around the food forest in the fall.

It's that time of year everyone... The time of year where millions of free plants are just sitting out there waiting for you to come scoop them up. These days we are all so impatient. We are all also resource strapped. The world is go go go go and sometimes we have a hard time connecting to small things that our ancestors did, which paid them back over decades. Today we're going to tap into our inner troglodyte and go collecting seed to bring back to our cave. Today's video was very hard to edit, because I had over 4 hours of footage to try to condense into a small video on seed collecting. Seeds I collected in the last 2 weeks: - Acorns - Black locust - Walnuts - Hazelnuts - Paw paws - Apples - Pears - Asparagus - Rosa rugosa - Coriander - Thyme - Oregano - Parsley - Lovage - Lavender - Sage - Yarrow - Black Eyed Susan - Foxglove Beardtongue - Hairy Beardtongue - Dense Blazing star - Prairie Smoke - Wild Bergamot (bee balm) - Vervain - Aster - Butterly Milkweed - Upland White Goldenrod - Wild Geranium - Wild Ginger - Large leaved aster - White Trillium - Foam Flower - Common Blue violet - Zig Zag Goldenrod - and Mushrooms! Having a habit of going out and indentifying plants in the wild, returning in the fall, collecting seeds and spreading them (responsibly, with plenty of research), can do your food forest, and our insect/bird biome SO MUCH GOOD. You can be such a force of good on this planet, and now is the time you can have a major impact. Plus... so much money saved! Thanks for watching, Get busy!

Juicer in this video (affiliate link, I gain small commission, but am not sponsored): CA: https://amzn.to/3iR2vUH US: https://amzn.to/3mM4efc Most of the apple cider vinegar videos on the internet make vinegar that has a hint of apple flavor. Here is how we can make a very small adjustment and crank the flavor up tremendously. Lets do this RIGHT. A typical apple cider vinegar recipe is quite simple: Cut/mash apples, stick in a bucket, fill with water, add sugar, cover with a towel or something, let it sit for a few weeks to a month. Bam, vinegar. And while that's technically a way to make vinegar, it's not actually making apple CIDER vinegar, because apple cider is never created. Okay so why is that important? I will get technical here... What is happening in that process is that wild strains of yeast found on the apple skin are going to start a reaction to convert sugars into alcohol, CO2 and some byproducts. The main byproducts we care about are esters and phenol groups. The reason for this is that when we drink the final product, these are what register on our taste buds. The more esters and phenols we create, the more flavor we have. Okay, so why is the simple recipe above bad? Since it's not kept anaerobic, what happens is that the yeast culture can't really build up. Not only that, but the wild yeasts will only be able to get the alcohol content up to about 1.5%. As the alcohol is being made, it's immediately being consumed by acetobacter and converted into acetic acid. The acetic acid then kills the yeast that is making all our flavor! This is a bad thing. So a PROPER recipe needs to have 2 phases: 1) Anaerobic step. 2) Aerobic step. In doing so, we allow the yeast to really take off and go crazy. When then also next-level this by using specific kinds of yeast which can crank the alcohol volume WAY up. Wine or Champaign yeast will crank this up to 10-20% alcohol. And remember, the more alcohol production we get, the more esters and phenols we make (actual chemical formulas are in the video). The more esters and phenols we make, the more flavor we get. ONLY NOW, once the CO2 production slows, we know that most of the sugars have been converted to alcohol, and now we uncover the batch. We add in some culture from a previous batch (and if you don't have a previous batch, you can do what I show in this video) to inoculate the culture. We are now adding not only the acetobacter (which makes the acetic acid), but also the "mother" which is a mix of various bacteria and yeast which will produce a cellulose layer called a pellicle, which allows gas exchange, but does not allow contamination. This pellicle protects the batch. Now we are firmly in the aerobic step, so we don't lock the lid airtight with an airlock, but rather NOW we allow air exchange in an aerobic lid such as a towel. Now the acetobacter converts alcohol into vinegar, and this acetic acid will kill off much of the yeast and stop the flavor production (but all that nice flavor remains in there). This 2 step process makes a tremendous difference. I can't understate the difference. TLDR recipe: 1) Crush, smush, or ideally masticate apples. 2) Add wine or champaign yeast. Cover air tight, for about 1 week. 3) Vent as gasses are produced. Once gassing stops, start aerobic phase: 4) Add culture from previous batch. Cover with cloth. Last step takes about 1 month. You are now done. This is almost as simple, but produces an infinitely better product. All done using science principles. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?

5 Years ago we decided to do something different. We started planting out our lawn. Trees, bushes, flowers. We wanted to mimic a forest, using permaculture principles, and grow our own healthy natural beyond-organic healthy food. Come join us for a fall tour, and lets pick some pears. ______________________ Want to become a member and earn perks?
