Discover the 2,500-year-old aquaculture system that produces more protein per square foot than cattle ranching—for under $600. Learn how to build a self-sustaining backyard pond that feeds your family fish, eggs, and independence for a decade. This ancient Chinese polyculture method, perfected by Fan Li in 475 BC, was deliberately kept from modern homesteaders. Until now.
Fennel with its latter name “Foeniculum vulgare” belongs to the “apiaceae” family. The name is derived as a diminutive of the latin word “foenom” meaning “hay” which certainly has to do with the grass-like feathery appearance of the leaves. The numerous health benefits of fennel characterise it as an all-around medicinal plant in oil. It is still an indispensable household remedy for many to have at hand at any time. Fennel oil's major virtues are antiseptic and antispasmodic.
If you are interested in ancient knowledge. You should see this video. The face on Mars has a connection with the Earth Grid Matrix just like ALL ancient monumental buildings like Giza, Easter island, Stonehenge, etc etc are connected to form a grid and tell a story. This video take's about 5 hours of your time. but its worth it.
How do you reforest millions of hectares of African desert without planting a single tree? Find out from Tony Rinaudo, the missionary agronomist who did it.
Huauzontle (Chenopodium berlandieri nuttaliae) is a close relative of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and common lamb's quarters (Chenopodium alba). Before the arrival of maize in eastern North America, this species was one of the main grain crops in the eastern agricultural complex. It was domesticated independently both in eastern North America and Mexico from wild pitseed goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri).
For thousands of years, one tiny desert seed kept entire civilizations alive. It thrived where corn withered, produced more protein than beef, and restored soil without fertilizers. Then history forgot it. Today—thanks to elders, gardeners, and everyday people—it’s finally returning. In this powerful EverGreen Seniors episode, we explore the unbelievable story of the Desert Resilience Bean, an ancient survival seed (Phaseolus acutifolius) built by nature to endure extreme heat, drought, and poor soil.
The final update from Al Baydha Project Co-founder Neal Spackman, 9 years in. How desertification resulted from the loss of an indigenous land management system, and how the land has changed since all inputs to the project were ceased in 2016.
Permaculture Instructor Andrew millison explains how trees are connected to water in the atmosphere as well as water flowing through the landscape. This video articulates the amazing role that trees play to ecosystem and climate health, and how their removal causes the drought-flood cycle. There may be some questions about the scientific validity of the concept that forests attract rain. Here are a number of peer reviewed scientific articles to support the hypothesis which suggests that forest cover plays a much greater role in determining rainfall than previously recognized.
Permaculture Instructor Andrew Millison explains the different types of aquifers and the overall strategy for recharging depleted water tables.
