Tips, Tricks

1. sad to see so many negative comments. I wish so much there were places like this in the States that do not break your wallet. the eco communities in the eastern usa, some are requesting a down payment of $200,000-300,000 just for the land. I see this, and I have hope my country stops looking at the almighty dollar as the way to go, and see community development happen faster. I know, utopian ideas, but it obviously is working...one can hope.
2. idk man, heating up a bathtub with a fire seems a bit inefficient and detrimental compared to a modern system
3. uit een boekje , kan iedereen die grond heeft
4. Could’a Should’a Would’a
   
   Following the Christchurch Earthquake the Government spent billions of dollars fixing the roads. They also created satellite towns reliant on petroleum powered motor vehicles. On the highway from Amberely to Christchurch, 85% of the motor vehicles are single drivers. They then built these towns around large, offshore owned supermarkets such as Countdown and offshore owned unhealthy fast food chains such Burger King and McDonalds. Supermarkets such as Countdown sold milk and cheese in massive isles to catch the attention of people so they could promote milk as popular / successful product.
   
   Milk and milk related products and beef were heavily promoted. This was because the farmers on the Canterbury Plains owned huge portions of land, and the cheapest, most profitable way to use the land (they thought) was to farm dairy and beef. These farmers were more interested in making as much money for themselves rather than setting up a farming system that improved the ecology and provided jobs. Their attitude was fewer employees equal more profit. The winner of the New Zealand Dairy Farm Sustainability Awards, 2015 in New Zealand employs 13 people on a 1000 hectare farm.
   
   In Taranaki, 1 hectare of dairy makes a profit of $7000 per year, whereas 1 hectare of permaculture makes $10,000 profit per year. A permaculture garden also employs more people and provides more jobs and the income from the produce is more easily distributed ethically; this creates a more healthy community and more people become productive and innovate and tourism increases and property ownership increases as well as social issues decrease and crime decreases.
   
   The Government and the Christchurch City Council shoul’d spent the billions of dollars they spent on roads on ripping up the asphalt and creating gardens all throughout the streets, then converting the roads into cycle ways. The vegegardens could’a been grown at a low height so people could drive flying cars above the vegegardens.
5. BBC my bum. Way too many ads, sell your mung beans or dope. Otherwise a decent video.
6. I'm looking to put a Christian farming permaculture community together in SE Michigan if you are interested or know someone interested please contact me.
7. Just testimonies! No real content IMO
8. wow its funny that Monsanto has an advertisement on this video because i'm pretty sure that permaculture is everything that Monsanto does not want to happen...
