Watch the first tour we did back in 2015! • Beautiful 1-Acre Small...
In Episode 3 of Permaculture Tours we revisit the amazing Limestone Permaculture Farm. in NSW, Australia. We first visited Limestone back in 2015, when Brett and Nici were five years into developing their 1-acre permaculture property, working full time off-farm and creating their piece of paradise in their spare time.
This revisit film was shot in October 2019 - four years on, Brett and Nici are full time at home, teaching permaculture and homesteading, offering farm tours, selling produce and thriving despite a severe drought and encroaching bushfires.
Brett gives us a tour of the property, showing how things have changed and developed since we last visited, and Brett and Nici describe the motivation behind all their hard work.
In a couple of weeks we’ll be making a podcast episode with Brett and Nici to talk about how they fared during Australia’s horrific 2019-20 bushfire season, their farm’s resilience to drought and more. Add a comment below if you have a question you’d be keen to ask them via the podcast!

Is it possible to build some sort of fire break or fire protection around the farm? My parents were ranchers (until they sold their ranch and moved to the city - big mistake, long story), and many of my other relatives were also ranchers. They would take their plow and tractor and plow firebreaks along their main fences most years, stripping the vegetation away from a zone about 20 - 40 feet wide along their entire properties. The general ecological systems were grasslands and prairie, short-grass prairie ("buffalo" grass), so it was somewhat easier to keep the vegetation low enough to stop a prairie fire - except for the tumbleweeds, which can thwart the efforts to stop a fast-moving fire. However the barbed-wire fences usually stopped those. Anyway, back to a fire break. I see Brett and Nici have farmed right up to their property lines? Do they have lots of rocks in the fields around there? Could they collect rocks from neighbors' fields (for a fee) and use the rocks to heap up a sort of stone fire-break around their land? Would they be able to keep the rocky fire break free of weeds every year, in anticipation of possible fires? Or could they use the stone (and cement/concrete) to build stone walls of sufficient height to block a typical grasslands fire? Say 4 feet - uhm, 1.2 meters in height?

@@omi_god Take good observation: Poor people in provincial countryside vs the video presented above. The difference is that poor people have "No System in place" and "Uneducated how to make use of the land". The family above is "thriving" while people in the same environment with no system in place are "struggling". I know this from personal experience as my grandparents are those poor people who lived their lives in a provincial countryside. My grandparents told me of the times they had nothing to eat and how poor they were... Whilst I looked at their surrounding, I noticed they were sitting on acre of land they owned. A 1/4 of an acre block with a house is enough to provide food for 4-5 people for a whole year.

We have been growing tomatoes and aromatics in our flat, but last week we brought our own piece of land 2500 square meters near a small river. We are very handy and we would like to have a piece of your heaven. Watching your videos makes me cry thinking it is possible to live off the land. We know how to take every thing off grid too.

I really enjoyed this episode and it's inspiring to see what can be achieved on 1 acre. I'm finding it harder and harder to keep a basic backyard vegie patch alive with our inconsistent climate than I did 10 years ago and it is forcing me to create a more complex, richer environment that can handle the wild swings in weather. Water retentive yet free draining. When you see acres of flat commercial farmland, soil broken and exposed to the elements, you have to wonder who's brilliant idea it was to farm that way in a drought prone country.

I've been thinking of how to grow grapes on a sturdy arbor but formal arbors are expensive and difficult to build. I never thought of using a hills hoist clothesline like yours! People sometimes give them away for free too. People could even collect several clothes lines and line them next to each other to create a long arbor. Alternatively you can also grow a mulberry tree under the clothesline and pull the branches sideways to grow along the top. Best of all is that clotheslines made of non-corrosive metal so they won't rot or attract termites like wood does, and they won't rust either. Thanks heaps for the idea.

Permaculture is the integration for working with nature and giving back to it! its an exchange process! My fathers and architect and when they design a house they try to incorporate a veery system into the landscaping! it's great for the food you produce, your health, house energy efficiency and for the surrounding nature. This is both nature rebuilding and great for your life. This also reuilds creativity and helps with rebuilding neurological growth and development in young kids. The main contributor to keeping this system flowing is also like minded people !

Thank you very much, This answered to a question that I had for a long time... (I was highly worried if fruit trees like mangoes would grow on berms.)

Absolutely Fantastic. The 18 minute video has been the best time I have spent this year. I have been striving to create a similar paradise around my small acreage in South Australia, but have found it slow going. Even just getting small ideas from the walk around with Brett was inspiring. Thank you so much for this.

I'm tired of this. Films like this just make that voice in me to scream even louder at myself and the world around me. I could be doing this same thing or something very similar. I know I can. I've been studying permaculture and regenerative ecology for 15 years, before it even knew of such terms. I've practiced it as much as I can although it hasnt been to a scale like this. I keep trying to get there and one day I hope I can.

It's not the destination, it's the glory of the ride. Good luck.

Don’t waste your energy focused on the world around you. That’s a trap that’s used to keep us disempowered. The ego loves the illusion of power that comes from trying to control others and external things. True power comes from learning to control yourself and wielding your power as a creator in harmony with nature. “Yesterday I was clever and I wanted to change the world, today I am wise so I am changing myself”-Rumi Listen to that inner voice as your guidance when its focused on yourself, and master the fears that misdirect it to focus on the world around you. I know you can do it too brother!

It helps to have someone doing this with you. Biodynamic may be a better way to go. Self reliance without external input. Doesn't happen overnight and always enjoy every step of the way.

The hardest part of permacullture is buying the block of land to start it on. I have the same dreams for aquaponics. Just need that first $100,000 to buy a patch of dirt.

@@MrWackozacko I have that block of land 40 acres with a well. I just got old sooner than I thought I would.

Hi. We are setting up a garden on Kawau island in NZ. Water is a major issue. Any chance of a run down or video on how to set up those wicking beds please ?
