More Protein Than Beef, Stronger Than Corn: The Lost Survival Seed.	More Protein Than Beef, Stronger Than Corn: The Lost Survival Seed. 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. This seed isn’t just history—it’s a solution for modern gardeners, especially seniors who want low-maintenance, high-nutrition crops that thrive with almost no water. You’ll discover how this...
The Story of Al Baydha: A Regenerative Agriculture in the Saudi Desert. قصة مشروع البيضاء	The Story of Al Baydha: A Regenerative Agriculture in the Saudi Desert. قصة مشروع البيضاء 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. Neal moved on from Al Baydha in 2018 and can now be contacted at https://regenerativeresources.co The species that worked the best for us were Ziziphus Spinachristi, Moringa Peregrina, commiphora gileadensis, prosopis spp (though this one we likely won't continue planting in the future), and the local...
How Trees Bring Water	How Trees Bring Water 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. They explain how forested regions generate large-scale flows in atmospheric water...

Secret that ACCELERATES Rooting in Water - Biological Technique	Secret that ACCELERATES Rooting in Water - Biological Technique With this technique, we transform water into water with high levels of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones so that the branches root faster. It's normal for some of the branches to flower, because the water will produce nutrients that will nourish the branch, while the roots remain well-oxygenated to prevent rot. We will cultivate three main microorganisms from the soil we collect at home: bacteria, algae, and cyanobacteria. It's important that once we activate the system with the water, we leave the jars/cups in a warm, well-lit place, but never in direct sunlight.
