https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/4432fa6c-0e19-4790-a14c-b31f86cbb161 I take a walking tour of one of our pond systems at Edible Acres in the winter. I cover permaculture principles and the thought processes behind making the ponds. All of our pond systems and earthworks at Edible Acres are done entirely with hand tools. We never use machines. This allows for incredibly detailed and intimate land shaping that can happen over many seasons and in tight spaces. A machine would simply not allow it. Plus, we feel it gives people the feeling that they can certainly do this too as long as they have a shovel and a body! Edible Acres is a full service permaculture nursery located in the Finger Lakes area of NY state. We grow all layers of perennial food forest systems and provide super hardy, edible, useful, medicinal, easy to propagate, perennial plants for sale locally or for shipping around the country... http://www.edibleacres.org/purchase - Your order supports the research and learning we share here on youtube. We also offer consultation and support in our region or remotely. http://www.edibleacres.org/services Happy growing!
