Podcasts about Permaculture

Could you live without money? No support payments, no savings account, no secret benefactors? Jo Nemeth has been doing so for the past decade, and reckons she is less stressed and more secure in her moneyless life (in which she shares a home with eight other humans and plays the role of house keeper/manager/grower/frugavore). This is a truly radical tale of a woman who went the whole hog and gave up the bacon

My wife and I have questions about putting our garden beds to rest now that it's the end of the growing season and that means it's time to bring on Ethan and Amy Sager from the Again & Again Farmstead in Tamsworth, NH. What I prize about talking with them is that they are live in a rarified world known as “permaculture”. And when I say they live in that world I mean exactly that. Soil preservation, water capture, wool pelletizing, worm castings and biochar are just some of the techniques employed on their farm. Every chat them delivers an education in how to garden the right way. It's never, ever boring spending time with these two friends. Their respect and knowledge for proper land use absolutely amazes me. And their newsletter is like an encyclopedia. In this episode they've even kindly provided a coupon code for free shipping on anything from their website. Luv these guys!!!

Today, I want to talk about another question from Owen: "What are some common mistakes beginners make in permaculture design, and how can they be avoided?" The thoughts shared in this episode are only one perspecitve, my own. I'd love to hear other ideas on the need to slow down when practicing permaculture, so reach out if you'd like to share how you would do things differently.

It's no secret I love gardening, so I'm thrilled to be chatting with Matthieu, a regenerative garden designer whose journey began on his family farm and has taken him from early experiments with radishes, to academic study in landscape architecture, to transformative experiences in the Amazon Rainforest. Matthieu shares how permaculture principles reshaped his understanding of nature, why regenerative farming is key to reversing climate change, and how gardening—even in small urban spaces—can reconnect us with the natural world. Access Matthieu's free training hereAbout Our Guest: Matthieu Mehuys is an award-winning author and passionate landscape architect whose journey from a family farm in Belgium to regenerative farming practices has led him to believe that landscape architects can indeed change the world.

What if wolves were your farming allies, not your enemies? What if chickens could replace pesticides and do a better job? In this episode, we step into the world of Marco Carbonara, a regenerative farmer and ecologist who has spent the last 20 years building a thriving, self-sustaining farm ecosystem in the wild heart of central Italy.

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, digs up some delicious fun with Matt Robertson, founder and owner of Clover Systems (https://cloversystems.org), which offers permaculture landscaping and hardscaping, home remodels, ADUs, and tiny homes; as well as a backyard permaculture nursery in the St. Joseph neighborhood. For the past five years, Matt has been working professionally as a carpenter, building additions, ADUs, and general home remodels. Usually working alone or with one partner, Matt has been directly involved in every phase of a home build many times over. Since 2018, Matt has studied permaculture and explored how it applies in the real world. He even lived off-grid and started a tropical food forest in Okeechobee, Florida, in 2020. Then, after returning home to Louisville, Matt founded Clover Systems in 2023 to offer solutions to our community by applying permaculture principles to local construction and urban agriculture. Listen in as we discuss the value of edible landscapes and Matt's Louisville food forest mission; Clover System's backyard permaculture nursery; the new Preston Park Food Forest; and the permaculture construction side of Clover Systems, including the advantages of building ADUs and your dream of a tiny home cottage court neighborhood with edible landscaping. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

Garden Chat with Don TitmusIn this garden chat, Greg and Don Titmus dive into the Permaculture Principle Everything Gardens, focusing on the beneficial relationships within an ecosystem, particularly soil, food webs, and the role of different plants and animals. They explore how weeds, chickens as soil tillers, water as a sculptor, and the role of fungi, earthworms, and birds all lead back to gardening. They also tackle specific topics like the impact of wind, creating microclimates, and practical considerations for raising chickens and growing mushrooms. The session wraps up with audience questions on gardening tips, urban farming, and permaculture design courses. If you would like to attend live visit GardenChat.org to sign up for our monthly live chat.Our Guest: Don grew up in London and at age 16 spent 4 years being trained in horticulture through an apprenticeship and a college course. From there he continued landscaping in his hometown until he moved to Arizona in 1981, where he worked in landscaping and then starting his own business in garden maintenance. In 2003 he attended a Permaculture Design Course, which was life-changing for Don. He knew right away that this was the path he'd been waiting for, and later attended two Permaculture Teacher Trainings.Visit www.urbanfarm.org/913 for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!For more info about the Phoenix Permaculture Design course visit UrbanFarm.org/PDCNeed a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

The question for this episode is from Geoff:  I'd love to hear your thoughts about how homestead sites can create a "whole nutrition" landscape with permaculture.  What I mean, is that a "healthy balanced diet" typically includes sources for necessary nutrients, calories, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates/starches, etc. Growing the leafy greens, berries, fruit, vegetables is all very well and good -- but if we are seeking to create a 'whole nutrition' landscape, we need to re-evaluate how much area in the gardens are devoted to tubers/roots and protein sources like nuts (hazelnuts) or seeds (sunflower, serviceberry seeds) versus the more typical perennial greens.  Ie Maybe way larger portions of the landscape should be devoted to tubers and fast-growing nuts/seeds than is typically seen in Permaculture Designs, for instance for PDC courses?!

Father Ian plays with permaculture. Gianna Patchen speaks with the SLO Climate Coalition about local climate solutions and how you can save money by electrifying your home. Author Tom Bowman talks about his new book, "What if Solving the Climate Crisis is Simple?"

Our Global Family Farm is a permaculture demonstration farm in a corner of SLO City Farm in San Luis Obispo, which is a “whole systems thinking” approach to horticulture and living.

The clock is ticking as we face an imminent agricultural crisis. It is likely that we only have around sixty global harvests left until the world's top soils are depleted. Regenerative agriculture offers many potential and practical solutions toward a more sustainable relationship between food production and environmental stewardship. However, sustainable farming is a broad church with many different and sometimes contradictory methodologies, from mob cattle grazing to veganic farming practices to precision fermentation. Which ones do we choose? Louis De Jaeger, author of “SOS: Save Our Soils”, asked this question as he travelled the world to explore the whole gamut of regenerative farms and land management practices. Louis' holistic, non-judgemental and open-minded approach is very refreshing. As far as we're aware, he is the only person who has managed to endorse veganic farming while also enjoying an enthusiastic introduction to his book by Allan Savory, figurehead of the holistic grazing movement. Louis concludes that all regenerative farming methods have their place, depending on context, so long as the soil is kept healthy with its precious microbiome intact. Louis de Jaeger is a Belgian based eco-entrepreneur, landscape consultant, speaker and author. You can find out more at his WEBSITE (https://louisdj.com/en/). “SOS: Save Our Soils”, launched in June 2025, is an impressive blend of research told through a conversational, easy-to-read style which makes it an essential addition to the growing wealth of regenerative literature.

A post-growth future requires us to completely reimagine how we approach agriculture, not only with regard to methodology, but also to the size and scale of our food growing enterprises. Following the interview with Louis, co-hosts Mark Allen and Michael Bayliss engage in a ‘panel discussion' where Louis' book and interview are discussed (along with the broader regenerative movement) from a post-growth perspective. We encourage you to stick around to the end of the interview. Many thanks to West Australian permaculture band ‘Formidable Vegetable' for the inclusion of their song ‘Earthworm Bill.'

Ever wondered how to create a garden that works with nature rather than against it? In this captivating conversation, filmmaker and permaculture practitioner Shane Hatton shares the remarkable evolution of Bosco's Garden in County Kilkenny – a living laboratory where permaculture principles have created a thriving ecosystem.Shane's journey began simply with a polytunnel and a raised bed in 2012, experiencing the typical failures and successes of a beginning gardener. The watershed moment came in 2020 when he dug his first wildlife pond, setting off a chain reaction that transformed both his garden and his approach to growing. What started as conventional growing with potato drills shifted dramatically when Shane discovered no-dig gardening methods, layering cardboard, compost, and woodchip to create beds that required less water while yielding better harvests.The heart of this episode explores how permaculture's core ethics – earth care, people care, and fair share – guide every decision in the garden. Shane explains the zone system (organizing plants based on how frequently they need attention) and the principle that every element should serve multiple functions. The results speak for themselves: hedgehogs now naturally control slugs, birds manage caterpillars on brassicas, and the garden has achieved a remarkable ecological balance without chemical interventions.Particularly fascinating is Shane's shift away from commercial market gardening toward a more perennial food forest approach. His experiences highlight an essential truth: sometimes the best gardening action is patience and trust in natural systems. When caterpillars recently decimated his Brussels sprouts, resisting the urge to intervene allowed blue tits to discover and eliminate the problem completely within days.Beyond his own garden, Shane now documents other remarkable permaculture and regenerative projects across Ireland through his YouTube channel. These videos offer viewers unprecedented access to some of the country's most innovative growing spaces and the passionate people behind them.Whether you're curious about permaculture, interested in no-dig gardening, or simply want to create a more harmonious growing space, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who has walked the path from conventional growing to regenerative abundance.

Syntropic Agroforestry with Erik Schellenberg Erik and I go in depth into his journey to Permaculture, what works and what doesn't when we land the plane of Permaculture gardening methods, on a given site. Erik takes us on his travels to Brazil in search of truly viable ,high production methods of farming with tree crops and what he calls 4 dimensional systems. Erik gives a clear and concise comparison of Syntropic Agroforestry, it's origins and founders, and what he's gained from it. We compare Forest Gardening, Biodynamics and Syntropic methods and discuss deep design topics of where permaculture's place is, in this constellation of concepts and ideas, as an umbrella organizing principle that ties together all these techniques with the overarching focus on creating sustainable designs for human settlements.

A Garden Chat with Don TitmusIn this garden chat, Greg and Don Titmus start be discussing the importance of naming your farm and then dive deep into permaculture principle number six: the yield of a system is potentially unlimited. They touch upon Don's synergized version of permaculture principles, emphasizing multi-functional elements in farming. They draw on various examples such as multilayered forest gardens, polyculture systems, and the benefits of green roofs and living walls. The talk also sheds light on the role of weeds, water management, and composting systems to enhance soil health and overall productivity. The session provides valuable insights into designing and maintaining permaculture systems that promote biodiversity and abundance.Our Guest: Don grew up in London and at age 16 spent 4 years being trained in horticulture through an apprenticeship and a college course. From there he continued landscaping in his hometown until he moved to Arizona in 1981, where he worked in landscaping and then starting his own business in garden maintenance. In 2003 he attended a Permaculture Design Course, which was life-changing for Don. He knew right away that this was the path he'd been waiting for, and later attended two Permaculture Teacher Trainings.Visit www.urbanfarm.org/907 for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!For more information about the Phoenix Permaculture design course visit UrbanFarm.org/PDCNeed a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

In this episode we talked about how the “paleo diet” as it is called today is more akin to the “original permaculture diet” then we may think.  If you were to time travel back to 10,000 BC and beyond what we think of as “agriculture” today all humans relied a lot on animal protein and fat.  Even more recently until only a few hundred years ago so did the majority of the world’s population. The original show was titled Episode-773- Paleoculture the Original Permaculture and was first published on 10-8-2011. Resources for today's show-… Find Me on Nostr Follow Me … Continue reading →
