This workshop covers fundamentals of permaculture design for people developing self-sufficiency with the land. We will cover zones, useful plants, and water, among many other principles of permaculture. This workshop will help you develop a design plan for your own homestead in harmony with the land and natural elements surrounding you. In part 3, permaculturist John Nelson begins by talking about design methods for roads on your homestead.

In previous parts the talk about water really put some ideas into my head, made me consider how to manage and control the water movement around my house into my advantage. And now in combination with roads… Oh boy, I cannot wait to see how new ideas sprout into my head with this one too.
Good vid man, love your work. I'm really enjoying the way to explain all the angles. Avoid the nightmare roads people! 😉
he talked about some interesting subject… good 😀
chickens will poop over everything including your porch and things you like….I like mildly populated chicken tractors..they can create terraces too over time. I dig aquaducts all over the property so in summer auxilary watering is accomplished by gravity and basic manifold systems off of my well. Thank you for sharing good content.
I use a lot of hugelkultur to shift desert landscape to food forest in Central WA. on each of my terraces I dig a trench 4'deep 3' wide currently about 800' long I stack I've had hundreds of trucks from craigslist deliver yard waste, branches, logs, leaves, manure, pallets, cardboard, food waste from gross restores. to fill the trenches about 4' above ground level and cap with the material from the terrace. The trenches take some time to fill, the goats eat from them, stomp them into the trenches tight and poop all over them. I like that it leaves space for rodents… the cats are regularly hunting the fields and the compost piles…I don't have to feed them much either. I have taught my dogs to dig on command…see my channel for a recent video on that. They help me dig catch basins on the property up high for catching surge of rain or snow melt promoting aquifer juice. I call this project Hawkshaven.
Them sideburns, yo
I really am enjoying these videos. Your kind of meandering through permaculture giving out little tidbits of valuable information. Double thumbs up!!
