Super entertaining and informative!  I especially like Paul's statement "the answer to the question is to be even lazier."

I give this video presentation 9 out of 10 acorns.

This is one of my favorite presentations by Paul Wheaton. The energy he brings, the stories he tells, and the conversations that are had are all appreciated. He does a wonderful job breaking the mold of what people expect out of a Permaculture presenter while still providing great information. Some information at times feels like you may be going on a tangent but Paul does an incredible job tying everything together in the end with a neat little bow. Paul does a fantastic job bringing ideas that challenge an individuals understanding of what is possible in order to achieve a yield at the end of the day.

Depending where you live, irrigation can be a serious challenge. Water can be a restricted commodity or even a challenge to get your hands on. The 'ordinary' gardener might need to think outside the box to get a solution that keeps food on the table. Between topics such as hügelkultur and paddock shift, this presentation does a great job introducing the ideas to the audience. Even with having some of this knowledge already, I found the presentation to be very engaging.

I recommend this video presentation to everyone, especially people new to the ideas of permaculture.
