This woman is an earth angle and visionary. I am in awe of her drive and desire to share her life skills with others. I can not imagine the number of people this beautiful spirit has helped. God Bless and keep sharing.
So interesting. What a great video. Starting small is the answer. So often we get overwhelmed with all the things we hear we should be doing, but by starting with one thing...for example composting food scraps, or saving waste water......perfecting that ,then move on to the next thing. Before you realize it, you are doing all that was originally overwhelming you .
Yes, I completely agree. Starting small is the best way to get involved in things. Before you know it you will be solving small problems without even knowing it.
nrtopa -Natalie I am just blown away by your energy Ingenuity and love to help our human race! You are absolutely a gem! Keep up the great work. Many blessings to you and too the good work you do! 🙏❤️🌎
Nrtopa- Natalie, you are so welcome. It was such a delight to meet you in Nairobi and have such great conversations for hours and hours! The work you are doing in the world is inspirational and i am honoured to be able to share a glimpse of your story and some of your insights. You show what a difference we can make in the world if we choose to.
Subscribed! :-) This balcony/creator would be the most interesting I've seen - I can only imagine if you were home more often. The crickets/your capacity to think beyond "steak n veg" mentality really got me. Make it contagious and no doubt you'll solve the problems of this planet. Go your hardest! :-) :-) :-)
Awseome video! Thank you both. Could I please get the recipe for the seed crackers? Not sure on quantity of water, mine are in the oven now but seem to be a bit skinny :-)
Natalie this is so inspirational! I am doing the permaculture women PDC course and loved your module, but seeing how you're working with refugees is just amazing. I work at FAO and I've shared this with one of my colleagues who works on migration, and I really hope it spreads the inspiration even further.
This is fantastic. Just fantastic. I hope one day the whole world catches on to the permaculture lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing this Morag ❤️❤️❤️
There's so much information in this video, it will take me a long time to soak it all in. Thank you so much for doing this. ❤️ I saw basil seeds and got excited. They are called 'sabjaa' here in western India and are very popular in summer, added to all kinds of drinks from falooda, toddy palm juice, lemonades to coconut milk or just chilled milk and they puff up and become slimy just like chia seeds. Sabjaa has cooling properties and is known to even bring down acne induced by internal heat. They are regularly given to pregnant women over here.
being attract by the title "balcony..."as i am growing on one too,i discovered great heart moving humanitarian who took her vocation literally and live a life of missionary, another surprise as i am from Poland myself.tones of greetings and blessing.keep doing a great job!
My daughter tells me that I "do everything the long way" because I try to keep garbage to a minimum & try to reuse as much as possible for garden purposes .... capturing water that is used to rinse dishes or rinse veggies when cooking, saving seeds from everything that we eat, and cutting down paper to add to compost, etc. I don't see it as "the long way around", but rather many free trips on the merri-go-round.
Natalie is mind-blowing! So much going on! And i love that it's not just an urban permaculture laboratory but always geared to inform her work with refugees. Such passion and curiosity, really inspiring! Morag did you ever find the recipe for the seeds bar? 😋
An amazing abundance of useful permaculture information in such a small space & timeframe. from a busy person who spends much of her time helping others.
Fascinating, watched this 5 times already over the past few days cos there's so much going on in that apartment and in your conversation, Morag. Thanks for the insights, especially the notion of not introducong new things, but looking at things differently. Great stuff 😉😉
I'm so glad I found this. I have a small cement yard and a balcony and a porch. I do this. Compost a few different ways. Try to plant perrenials . We have a harsh winter, everything stops. I want to do permaculture not plant and pluck from nursery plants. I do everything from seeds, cuttings and bulbs. I'm in Philadelphia. All the permaculture videos are on land and farms etc. It's great but I look for education that will help me. I never saw a fly compost system. I do regular compost, worm bin, compost in place, and komboshi. Thanks so much! Kindred spirits
Great balcony garden, she probably produces as much as i do in a big backyard. I've started foraging for new trees via grafting and taking cuttings, i have uploaded some videos to RU-vid showing my garden here in toowoomba, Queensland
I’m so inspired an aligned with the movement you ladies are leading! Thank you for being such extraordinary examples of humanity with your leadership! I intend to join you💗💗💗💗
Wow, thank you Morag and Natalie. Unbelievably inspiring and interesting. Natalie is so innovative and proactive; she must be bringing hope to thousands of people.
Took a mushroom cultivation course with Natalie! Soo inspiring to see what she is doing and how she wants these ideas to be spread for access and space considerations for refugees is incredible!! thank you both for this!
What an enlightening conversation, thank you both for stepping forward to share such vital information; this is the type of community and progress we need to shape our world going forward. Blessings to both of you, and all the unseen hands that helped to make this happen, and thanks for the inspiration.
Wow, so much information. Thanks! I just have a question: dont chikens need more space to have quality of life? I really don´t know but I wonder because they usually walk a lot.
wow! awesome works! how can i get the Somali beans seed to propagate too... even if it is 5 seeds. and others seed variety that you can hare...I love your energy and the passion to help refugees. when in Nairobi can i visit? I live in Bungoma County.
This is fantastic.... I was amazed to see that she is already ahead of me in that project. Because I have the same though about kakuma refugees camp. Please can you help me to contact her since she seems to be an expert in that erea. I am a master student in sustainable development. That is my area of concern in my project.
Great video. I found it extremely informative! Just wondering if I’m the only one who felt uncomfortable when they kept moving past the third person in the kitchen without acknowledging their presence.
Great comment and observation. Let me explain. We were all talking lots before the camera went on, but she was too shy and asked not to be part of the speaking - it was done out of respect for her but she is a huge part of the project.
