I thought that land in England costs loads of money? Where did you get the money to buy so much land? I want to know because I want to do this. I’m running out of space in my neighborhood.
Great videos. When were these filmed?
THAT IS A GREAT IDEIA FOR PEOPLE IN GREECE.
ROFL
no, those never made very good cameras. they have a lot of eyes but try encouraging them all to film the same thing, very difficult. eventually people gave up and lived with potatoes as food crops, and turned instead to harnessing electrons and firing them onto glass to watch their pre-recorded video. which they filmed with tiny adapted telescopes & rolls of silver nitrate.
was this filmed with a potato?
or cat nip.
elaeagnus pungens and Elaeagnus x ebbingei are the two together, also commutata.

“but i DO warn people that they need a BIG disk for it, because it takes about 30 MB of diskspace”
haha how lovely it is when you watch old vids talking about pc’s =)
At around 18:40, the guy talks about elaeagnus, but he doesn’t mention which species. Anyone know which it is? Also, he mentions a ‘yellow variegated form’ of it that can be grown with the regular elaeagnus which increases yields. Does anyone know what this yellow form is he is referring to? Thanks
awesome awesome awesome God bless you more brother!!
five thumbs up….easy
Such a shame…. very tough to understand what he’s saying…
An example of encouraging rabbits to leave your garden alone is to plant lettuce patches; which they prefer over other stuff you need to eat.
ruined! by the woodchipper. at least the sound of it wasn’t on the soundtrack.
I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe:
真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

@elsteviolee – with organic+ techniques you’re unlikely to have any issues attracting insects and animals. eg even the most conventional of organic techniques, and conservation grade farms, use hedgerows to attract insects, birds, and small mammals, it’s part of what the farm has to do in order to be deemed the certificate. so permaculture forest gardening is even more natural than organic, it’ll be teaming with motile life.
THANK YOU FOR THiS UPLOAD!
Cheers from Brasil (=
excellent video. really nice.
Some interesting points here. I will tell you though about forests you have to think of the fauna aspect at the very start and have a concept of balance. Forests degenerate without the balancing effects of fauna. For instance you gotta think of the insect species, promote those you want and deter the others by using particular shrubs, small mammals and certain herbs. It’s damn complicated I can tell you. I have done a lot of work in this area.
great video!
