Liv Smith

Bart and I created a micro documentary for all of the kickstarter supporters of the World Domination Gardening movies. It is animation rich, and a very polished, professional creation. This is short film about hugelkultur. Topics covered include:

• How to shape your landscape to be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
• Encouraging diversity inside the hugelkultur as well as outside.
• Organic vs. Permaculture
• While the full 3-DVD set is for urban gardeners as well as people with acreage, and the full 3-DVD set will contain far more information on hugelkultur, this micro documentary will be focused on gardening and have no focus on projects with larger acreage.



Here is an overhead view of the hugelkultur beds after we shaped them into a sun scoop.



Talking about how to shape your hugelkultur beds.

Purchase all of the video from the first 3 years of Permaculture Voices. 117 hours 24 minutes and 31 seconds of permaculture goodness!

Blending the practical techniques and tactics found in workshops with the entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity of a business conference.

Now you can enjoy them all in the comfort of your own home, whenever you want!



A diverse group of creative and innovative doers in a variety of fields looking to share experiences, knowledge, connect, and create in ways that increase passion, purpose and profit. These doers came from a variety of fields both within and outside of permaculture. Each field has its own needs and yields. It is this edge that creates the opportunity for things to happen, and it is this opportunity that offers value to the attendees – how can you fill needs and utilize yields to create more value in your life.



All of your favorite speakers talking on a wide variety of subjects, all in one place! From Geoff Lawton and Allan Savory, to Darren Doherty, Paul Wheaton, Greg Judy and Jean-Martin Fortier - there's bound to be something for everyone.
