This is for the first movie in the World Domination Gardening set. It takes place during a workshop in Southern California, USA. At the high point of the property, water is rushing in whenever it rains. This water is cutting a deep channel through the property. The crew decides to capture this water and use it to create an oasis! Of course, water coming off of a road will probably contain some heavy metals and petroleum residue. A pond is dug so that the heavy metals will sink to the bottom of the pond, and gross stuff that floats (like oil) will be caught by the vegetation. The road gets some minor re-shaping to the road so the water will enter the pond. Within a day, the whole pond fills, and it holds that water through over 3 months of no rain!
This is no fancy pants, scripted Hollywood movie. This is raw, unscripted problem-solving with the full beauty of the English language. This project started with video from a three day workshop in Southern California, USA. The workshop coverered the earthworks for building a pond without a liner, a swale, and a hugelkultur bed on a terrace. The same workshop was done in a colder climate (Montana, USA).
A year later, we returned to the California site and added even more footage! We even had an evaluation by the Crown Prince of Permaculture, Geoff Lawton.

If you have paid--or been given a gift-code through kickstarter--you already have access to the video. For you, it is now magically embedded in the first post of this thread, right above the "upgrade plans" paypal place.
I can make screenshots and put in some shinny font stuff to make it easier to spot when I get back from the dentist, if you'd like!
Hi. Thanks for the clarification, but I don't see the embedded link or the "paypal" place in the first post. I followed each link above in case it was in another post, but didn't find it there either. It is in "my stuff", but when I click on it, it takes me to this posting. Some fancy text or something would be helpful I guess. Thanks.
