Hi Darren, I really enjoy your youtube videos! A lot.

As much as P.A. Yoeman's work is incredible and helpful, his books are not well written and the editing is horrendous (e.g. pages not in correct order).
Do you, or others you know of, have any plans to write an updated text explaining Mr. Yoeman's important information?
I think it would be really beneficial to have a text (book and/or website) that is more digestible (in that writing styles have changed considerably since he sat down at the typewriter and pounded out a 1950's academic style text) and offers more and better diagrams.
Maybe this is addressed by this online class you are offering?
Maybe it's just me?

Thanks

G'day,

Thanks Tom ...we have to get onto doing some more video's on Keyline and Regenerative AG...so many stories to tell and techniques to share along with updates and improvements!!

We have 3 books in various stages of development, all of which are founded off of the original work of P.A. Yeomans and our adaptation of the Keyline Scale of Permanence in the 'Regen10'. Again only so many hours in the day and competing demands make my progress glacial. I sometimes think of doing a crowd funding thing so that I could just solely devote myself to getting these done as I know that many, many folks would find them very useful.

You are right in that eHD is designed to address methodically and interactively these 'post P.A.' Keyline questions and bring them into modernity and you are also right in that many, many, many people have trouble understanding Keyline from the resources available and I have devoted myself to trying to sort that out and unravel any codes that people need broken and lights that need switching on!

The best books on Keyline that I know of are as follows:

The Challenge of Landscape - P.A. Yeomans
The Geographic Basis of Keyline - J. MacDonald Holmes
Consecha de Agua y Tierra - Eugenio Gras (www.MasHumus.com - in Spanish)

 
For my next trick, I'll need the help of a tiny ad ...
