What an incredible video! The way you showcase rainwater harvesting in Mediterranean permaculture is truly inspiring. It's amazing to see how nature can be harnessed to create sustainable systems. Sending big love from Israel! Keep up the fantastic work!

in che zona della Sicilia... io anche sto in Sicilia...

Great...

Wow, this looks amazing! I would love to do something like this in Sicily as well .. very inspirational Jhon, glad I stumbled across your channel!

Hello John! Just came across your channel after getting interest in permaculture... And saw that you live in Sicily! I am from here and it would be a great pleasure for me to meet you some day and come see your beautiful place and maybe get to learn something from you...

2024 here

Do you advise privately? I am trying to setup a permaculture food forest in Southern Bulgaria. The climate has changed dramatically there and we started growing citruses, pomegranate, figs and kiwis with great success, before that was not possible as they were freezing on minus 15 C. Our climate became like Greece and Turkey from 10 years ago. Although I watch all your videos and read a lot, I need someone to help ( brainstorm with me)me setup these 11 hectares❤

Sometimes, I wish we could install pipes for rainwater from the Netherlands to the Mediterranean. I am collecting excessive amount of rainwater, I dream to help someone in Mediterranean

Any advice if you're in a really dry place? I'm in Granada Spain, almost never rains.

But me and frog don't mix, someone can die when we meet for long

Did you remove the latest video?

great achievement,beautiful paradise you created,please upload more videos

Lovely video

So we are newbies. We bought a piece of land in catalunya with no water on it. The land is on the foot of a little hill. The hill is forest. Then there are three terasses with olives and almonds, and the lowest terasse is a field wich is waiting to turn from brown to green. So where to put a pond? where to put swales? do swales make sense in such a dry area? No infrastructure to collect rain.just one tiny roof. Any help is apreciated. Thanks. We will start out this January by the was.

Thank you so much for this video. I am currently working on a project to plant 100 papaya trees on our property and this is very helpful!

I always see people say use 4 inches of organic mulch but wven when i allow my land to grow wild for a while, i can only produce half an inch at most. I have loamy well drained soil, so i'm wondering if im missing a piece of the puzzle here

Thanks for sharing!

How could i get a plant in northern Italy?

if you put sprinkler doe it run?

Could you tell more about gebbias?

How does the pond hold the water?

I have learnt so much from you. I will be diging my compost pits this next week. My dad used to do it.And I forgot he composted everything he burnt cans from tinned food and put that into the soil. They didnt waste much.

Tried to upvote but couldn't. Very disappointed in that as this is truly amazing.

Haré la prueba con un hoyo de dos metros de pronfudidad en lugar de uno.

En la costa del Perú aún se practica la agricultura en Hoyas. La costa es árida, no llueve, y en ciertas zonas arenosas donde no es posible irrigar se practican las "hoyas" como de dos metros de profundidad para que los cultivos puedan acceder al acuífero. Dentro de la hoya se excava un hoyo más profundo para extraer agua a mano e irrigar los cultivos. En los arenales de la población costera de Chilca, a 60 km de Lima se practica esta clase de agricultura, en la actualidad dirigida a la producción del higo. En

When I saw how much MORE water he had in his well after 5 months I was amazed. I can finally say now that I believe that this process will work on my own land where my well has been devastated by deep bore wells all around me.

Brother I'm from Pakistan can I get yours wattsapp nbr I wants to buy cheep sandy land in Pakistan to convert it into agriculture land I'm not Good in English I need yourself help

Can you do this to a lawn with no cover? Create cover?

Can you have one circle with banana and papaya if space is limited.

WE send down blessed rain from the sky, bringing forth gardens & grains for harvest (& towering palm trees ˹loaded˺ with clustered fruit, ˹as˺ a provision for ˹Our˺ servants. & with this ˹rain˺ We revive a lifeless land. Similar is the emergence ˹from the graves˺. Qaaf 50:9-11)

Good to see a place not mostly covered and dependent on plastic. It's everywhere I look on some of these small farms and it helps me along to see others figuring out a way to grow a bit more like our past fellow humans who were forced by the lack of technology to be more in tune with nature, and accept a way that seems to have almost been forgotten! I too have used machinery to excavate small ponds at my place, but leaning more towards slowly doing everything by hand, and smaller now.

Thanks for valuable info in a modest attitude

What about the mosquito larvas inside the ponds? How do you deal with them?

Thankyou

I grow many in the blue mountains of Australia

I don't have any land to use such system with but I'm very interested with the idea. God bless you!

I can only imagine how many ancient artifacts and coins you find while gardening. What a paradise

I got a platform of boulders too. Thanks for the staircase idea.

So finger Limes taste the same like a normal round Lime?

Thanks

I know this is a long shot to get a response, but why must the CCT be on contour in this situation? Would it not matter more that the bottom of the trench is level as the overflow is going into a pond and not over the lip? And why not just make a ditch around the plot that goes straight into a pond or well?

How do you determine a female versus male papaya? I have a small yard so I cannot grow too many papayas.

Can papaya circles be used for other tree and plants?

Hello John, I love watching you YT channel, its been a Big Inspiration for me living in New York for a while now wanting to go back home in the Philippines where I came from and grow up. I am a Registered Nurse in New York City area for 2 decades now. I have this desire of wanting to go back home and take care of our farm. The biggest problem in our farm is water. I would love to learn more of your methods. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place. Love, Derick...

You’re such an inspiration to me, especially your commitment to self sufficiency on the land’s own resources, such as water. It helps me stand firm in my leap of faith, based on commitment to the principles behind the process. I’m currently working on a similar project in a tiny mountain village in Andalucía. Right now, I’m fixing some olive terraces in a very labor intensive fashion, solo…but it’s enjoyable work. Especially knowing that I’m essentially working toward less work over time. 😊❤

Nice hat!

Your material is amazing. Starting to garden in Malta and really appreciate info on Mediterranean 🙏

Brilliant thank you for this. Perhaps you won't see my comment but it's worth a shot! Not sure if you mentioned how much annual precipitation you get in your area and at what point is worth getting a catchment system? I shall be designing land for Cyprus (sub-tropical climate) Many thanks!

Hello John, I've just moved back to Sicily and I'm trying to transform my almost 14K sq. mts into a permaculture food forest. I think we're pretty much around the same area. How do you create fire safety during the hot months?

nice video! im visiting sicily in early september 2024, would really love to visit permaculture farm. do you host tours?
