In this video, we asked my PERMIE teacher, Geoff Lawton a few questions about permaculture.

Geoff is an inspiring teacher. I feel that he has a real gift of sharing information.

Geoff has helped me design a food forest, build a worm farm, create a water harvesting system on the side of the hill (swales) and helped me understand how to think like a forest. I am proud and honoured to have been able to share his knowledge and experience through my channel.

My work staff was recently asked to describe someone who we think is a hero and I chose Geoff Lawton. His ability to speak so passionately and intelligently yet remain so accessible is amazing. Empowering people all over the word to be stewards of the land and their communities, he truly embodies what it means to me be to a hero. Much aloha from Hawaii 🤙❤️

We watch every single one of your videos as a family :) Slowly building our own permaculture paradise in Maine. Thank you for the inspiration and incredible camera work and storytelling!

So nice to have Geoff available a short distance away. I really love his response for the small space. Essentially: Grow your nutrients, buy your calories. This is one of the things that permeates all my videos on urban permaculture, and in my consultation designs I have done for people. It was the perfect answer, and one that MANY people are seeking.

Havn't looked up or seen Geoff Lawton since I was apart of the first Online PDC course he did. My health deteriorated and I never quite got going, but I have started to push myself into action the past year or so. I see the video in 3 years old at this point, but arrived in perfect time to me. Thanks for posting.

I seriously love you guys. It makes me feel less alone in the world knowing there are others like me. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos and can’t wait to transition out to my pine forest and start converting it to a food forest. I was going to take the PDC this year but all my stuff was stolen off my property and I had the delay the move. Hopefully I’ll be on track by next year. So close!

Feed the soil, feed the world. So true, Geoff. I planted some trees and veggies at the rooftop of my house. For the last 6 months I make my own compost from kitchen scrapes and dead leaves. I can see how the soil change, my trees and veggies becomes healthier. My next project is to make compost at school. I want my students to learn that healthy food comes from healthy plant. And as you said Geoff, feed the soil and you feed the world. By the way, Weedy, I plant mango tree from seed just like you are. It is 30 cm now. It was a very happy moment. Thank you for always inspire people 🙏🙏🙏

Where I live the winter temps can go below zero farenheight. I raise my worms in an old chest type freezer, which insulates them from both winter cold and summer heat.
