An Engineers Tips On Thriving In An Ice Storm #shorts

#shorts #icestorm #caringtonevent #resilience #offgrid We have become so dependent on power that the moment it goes out, we are in deep trouble. Over time we are hardening our systems to give us a better chance of thriving in a power-down situation. In a power outage having access to water, light, heat, and cooking are essential. We provide power to our well pump and flashlights through an outdoor connection that allows us to run a generator. A wood cook stove gives us the ability to heat and cook. With these elements, we can last a long time in a power outage. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Spring & Fall https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

A Farmer's SECRET to Building a Passive Solar Workshop that Really Works

Verge Permaculture https://vergepermaculture.ca/ ... This is an exclusive, "HOW TO" PERMACULTURE VIDEO like you've likely never seen before. Pieter Broere, a farmer from Alberta, Canada, unselfishly shares all of his engineering secrets about how to build and operate a PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY workshop that uses SUNTUF® corrugated polycarbonate panels. Pieter built it to heat his large workspace, but his convection design can be used for almost any building in a cold climate, whether rural or urban. And BTW, this isn't a new passive solar project that is untested in the real world. It has successfully operated for eleven years in a climate that can reach -40 temperatures. Is that number resonating? MINUS FORTY DEGREES. (Did you know that -40 is the same number whether F or C?) It's a very simple design that anyone who is handy with a few wood-framing tools and a little electrical knowledge can build themselves. Of all the arguments we make about the benefits of permaculture, this video will stop cold, pardon the pun, every naysayer who doubts that passive solar heating is cost-effective. Pieter's installation has paid for itself many times over, and almost a dozen years later it is still returning dividends. Is that resonating too? I hope so–for the sake of the earth and your bank account. If you don't watch this video all the way through to the end, and you don't comment, well, you might not be as serious about climate change as you've been telling everyone haha. Seriously though, we really want to know what you think, and how you might customize it for your use. Watch through to the end to see how you can save a HAYMOW of MONEY on your heating bill every month. That alone is worth the price of admission and thirteen minutes and fifteen seconds of your time. Success like this is hard to find, so enjoy and learn! If you have questions, Rob and Pieter have answers. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Spring & Fall https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

How To Connect Multiple Rainwater Tanks by Rob Avis P.Eng

Verge Permaculture https://vergepermaculture.ca/ ... Mechanical engineer and permaculture expert Rob Avis shares his inside knowledge about connecting more than one rainwater collection tank in your ecosystem. Rob describes four different scenarios, and explains how and why each option works. All of his tanks work on a hydraulic conveyance system that can move water without a pump. It works on gravity and can be used in urban or rural systems. Rob also explains the features of each option, and why you would choose one over another. He shares valuable tips about cold weather installations where pipes can freeze in the winter. He even gives us good advice about how to keep your rainwater collection system safe and clean. Connecting rainwater tanks requires very specific engineering methods and hardware. Consequently, Rob even shows us parts like bulkhead fittings from the Grainger catalog, and exactly how and where to install the parts. Rob gives us four different options, and explains the pros and cons of each.

How To Fix Nitrogen on Your Property with Trees & Shrubs by Mark Krawzyck

Verge Permaculture https://vergepermaculture.ca/ ... Fixing Nitrogen on your property is relatively easy when you know the basics, and have a little inside knowledge. Mark Krawzyck shares his expertise in this video that will help you understand the process, and how to adapt it for your fruit trees and orchards on your property. Fixing Nitrogen helps support the growth of neighboring trees. It provides bio-mass through chop and drop, and theoretically releases nitrogen as they fix it in association with bacteria that form colonies in nodules on their roots. Mark uses Siberian Peashrub, Seaberry also know as Sea Buckthorn, and Autumn Olive as a nurse or a mulch crop. They are spaced between six and ten feet apart. When they eclipse the fruit trees, Mark can either cut them down, intentionally coppicing them so they grow from their root systems, or he can pollard the canopy. He shares a lot of valuable information that you can adapt for your property. Mark, who has Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Vermont, owns and operates Keyline Vermont LLC. He and his wife also manage Valley Clayplain Forest Farm in New Haven, Vermont. Mark is the author of the book, Coppice Agroforestry: Tending Trees for Product, Profit, and Woodland Ecology. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Spring & Fall https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Heat Your Shop For Free Using Solar in a Cold Climate

I recently visited a shop in Alberta with a low-tech solar heater on the south side of the building. The heater puts out close to 150k BTU/hr which keeps the shop heated 90% of the year without any additional fuel input. On this day this heater was putting out 75C while the outside was less than 5C. #solarenergy #solar #shorts --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Spring & Fall https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Permaculture and Your Health, Traditions, Community, and Education by Ben Falk

Permaculture Design https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac... Ben Falk takes a philosophical look at permaculture from the perspectives of health, traditions, community, and education regarding regenerative farming. He feels, like many experienced and educated people do, that improved health is one of the main benefits of the permaculture process and lifestyle. He feels that in general, and not for everyone in every part of the world, that in the future it will be harder to stay healthy than to stay fed. Ben addresses the challenges respective of old timers who have farmed the land for decades, and what will happen when they disappear, which is happening at an increasing rate. He also talks about transferring knowledge to kids by getting them out into the field to work alongside their parents and guardians so they can experience what it means first hand, to "make hay" or tend to animals. Ben deftly explores why and how permaculture helps heal the planet, and how we can have a positive impact on climate change by adopting regenerative farming practices. He also explains how permaculture can heal you too! --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course- Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

How to Grow Jerusalem Artichokes in Your Permaculture Landscape by Rob Avis

Verge Permaculture Design Course Registration https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac... - Rob Avis shows us HOW TO GROW Jerusalem Artichokes, and shares a few secrets anyone can use. They are also sometimes referred to as Sunchokes, and are in the Sunflower family. They can grow up to fifteen metric tonnes of tubers per acre, which puts them in a class of their own. They can also produce another fifteen tonnes of stalk and plant matter above ground. Artichokes spread quickly, and some consider them weeds, but in a global food crisis, they are an excellent source when you need bulk fast and cheap. Some people don't like them because they can produce a lot of gas in your gut, and it's not pleasant. Thankfully, Rob also has a solution for anyone with a sensitive gastric tract . Enjoy the video, and the valuable information Rob shares about why these plants are so important in a permaculture landscape. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Supply Chains Running Out of Eggs by Rob Avis

https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac... Rob Avis takes a scathing look at food security and the egg supply chain, and how we are being negatively impacted at an increasing and alarming rate. Society’s egg challenge is similar to the issues of PEAK OIL, PEAK Phosphorous, PEAK Water and Peak Soil, a subject Rob and his partner Michelle have addressed many times. Rob’s contention is that this challenge is not going to go away on its own, and that we, the permaculture community, have to pick up the slack and develop regenerative systems that we can depend upon. To date, governments have not put forth any solutions to deal with these issues, which means it is in each of our domains as individuals and a community to buttress and/or replace the supply chains we depend up for food, energy, water, and shelter. Joel Salatin, on a podcast with Joe Rogan, theorizes that IF one in every three Americans fed their compost to their backyard chickens instead of sending it to landfill, there would be no commercial commodity-based egg industry. Rob addresses a number of unsettling issues about intensive chicken factory farming, and why permaculture is a better solution for everyone including humans, animals, and birds. Rob offers simple solutions to complex FOOD SECURITY challenges that impact everyone. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course- Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

How to Design Livestock Systems So You Won’t Have to Eat BUGS

Rob Avis takes us from the concept stage through to the design process for a permaculture corral that will cost-effectively manage a wide variety of farm animals on his homestead. This video is much more than just a CONCEPT. It’s the actual plan and philosophy that Rob and his team used to design a corral on his 160 acre property in Alberta to house pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, geese, cows, and maybe even sheep. The goal is to build diverse flocks and small herds of animals. Corral construction begins in the spring of 2023. Rob and Michelle’s property is made up of trees, wetlands, pasture, and varied terrain. Rob, an engineer, talks in considerable depth about the philosophy of a permaculture corral on his homestead, and the conflicting and often flawed messages we sometimes hear about food resources. Specifically, why some people believe that we all need to go 100% vegan or adopt an insect diet in order to feed the masses. Rob shares his interesting theory about why this BUG perspective is misplaced. He feels society has “overshot the caring capacity of earth given the current paradigm that we operate under–the industrial paradigm that uses massive amounts of fossil fuel.” Knowing that I won’t have to EAT BUGS to survive in 2030 …gets 2 THUMBS UP from me. To support his argument Rob addresses concepts like the Dyson Sphere, and events like Giga-Famines, et al. https://www.space.com/dyson-sphere.... Rob also talks about how ecosystems function, and how we can learn from them in order to design better systems that negate many of these false memes and issues. He refers to farm animals as transitory collectors of solar energy. He also believes we all need to eat a regenerative diet, and if you don’t know what that means, this is a perfect video for you. Rob is the kind of guy who believes in the permaculture philosophy and lifestyle so much that he makes personal choices every day in order to help move regenerative agriculture forward. When someone possesses his type of commitment, they'll go to the wall, and beyond. And beyond is exactly what the permaculture movement needs in order to affect change. Decades ago Cy Coben wrote, “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.” The EN Principle - Everybody/Nobody, is pervasive in permaculture too. It’s time …to do, and to follow Rob’s lead. If you really want a different view, and to learn about Rob's very distinctive perspective, sit back, relax, and enjoy. He'll take you on a trip that will change your life. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course- Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...
