Nice to meet you. I am Japanese. My name is Jota Inui. I was a teacher for 27 years, but I had a stroke and had to quit my beloved job. And now, I am creating woodwork art works using world heritage Yakusugi and sacred trees. I have a variety of disabilities due to cerebral infarction. The right face has pain from being cut with multiple kitchen knives. And the left lower leg was left with a disability that was burned by the gas burner. Except when I'm sleeping, I'm living in a living hell of intense pain. In the living hell of that pain, I am creating fishing charms and woodwork art works using the world heritage Yakusugi and sacred trees. I watched a KZitem video of a wonderful couple and was deeply moved. This is because you and your husband are facing a very difficult task. And because they are always working hard to make their dreams come true. Your dreams are amazing. When I look at your work, I think you two are creating works of art in nature. Seeing this wonderful couple working so hard made me feel so excited and made me think that I must work even harder. Even though I am disabled, I can learn a lot from the way couples live. You guys are such wonderful human beings. I have the utmost respect for this wonderful couple. And I am given the power to survive by a wonderful couple. Sincerely thank. thank you very much. I sincerely hope that he will continue to play an active role in the future.

For folks who can't hire backhoes: Learn the flow of rain in your yard, your land, and with a shovel carve out a small 3 or 4 ft quarter-moon-shape beside a tree, to catch that precious water. You'll see a growth difference with the very next rain. Remember that permaculture can always be achieved without spending any money whatsoever. Good luck to all---

You guys are awesome, I live in Cape Town, South Africa in a suburban home. I dug a swale by spade method and planted 1 white mulberry tree next to it. In another spot I put in some Asparagus. When my lemon tree (from seed) gets a bit bigger it is going in too as well as a Fig. My property is small, but eventually my food forest will take off.

I'm obviously writing this several months after you've posted this video so bear with me. You're installing contiguous swales and there's nothing wrong with that at all. But where there may be an obstacle in the way such as much needed access or other desirable feature/s in the landscape, there's a viable alternative. Think of a dotted line. There are gaps between each section of the line. So for the purposes of permaculture based design you determine the contour as usual but decide on the (length) of the swale/berm dash in your dotted line - (say 6, 10,15,20, 30 feet e.g.) & then dig. Then leave the appropriate gap between it & the next swale/berm dash in your dotted line before digging the next swale/berm dash. Rinse & repeat across that particular contour. THEN as you move downwards you do the same EXCEPT that this time, you start the NEW swale/berm dash line by digging IN-BETWEEN the gap of the one above then rinse and repeat until you get to the bottom of your watershed. The advantage of using this approach is that it simultaneously allows for easy access of machinery, vehicles and livestock & doesn't require any unnecessary expenditure on culverts & maintenance thereof. You also stand to catch the same amount of water without unintentionally creating a point/s where gully erosion can occur in the gaps of the dotted line were they to be symmetrically aligned on the horizontal and perpendicular planes. It can be a useful hack to (slightly) overlap the ends of each swale/berm dash line with the one above by say about a foot at either end when digging each successive contour as you move down the slope; again, for the purposes of not accidentally creating a point of gully erosion. Any silt that does wash down the slope will be caught by the swale/berm in the gap between the one above it. I've seen the dotted line swale & berm dash approach used to great effect in Rajasthan, India, which turned clapped out land into highly productive land. There's several KZitem videos detailing this. I'd also use an organic mulch topped by a gravel or rock/pebble mulch around the base of your new trees so that when they do get rain or irrigation, that moisture will stay put. The organic mulch will, gradually rot down, holding moisture & building soil as it does so, and the (impermeability) of the rock or pebble mulch on top of that will stop most of the evaporation. Rock mulch will also stop the organic mulch from blowing away in the desert winds & stop cats or other animals from digging around the rootballs of the trees.

Nice project. Eucalyptus trees may be resistant, but are they the right choice? They drink a lot of water, and their oil impoverishes the soil surrounding them. Underground drip-irrigation (a pipe run into the ground) would reduce your water usage (less evaporation) and force plant roots to extend deeper (they'll seek moister where it is, the plants will be stronger and eventually the roots will go deep enough to require less irrigation). Good luck!

@Kathryn Rodlun that is especially true when buying for a big box store. Always LIFT up the plant and check on the roots before buying the plant. If you see tightly coiled/circled roots it is best to not buy those. If you must, yes, gently tease open the roots and splay them out in a well nourished soil bed as you put them into the ground. If you see BROWN roots, when you lift the plant out of the pot, that plant is dying and so let the big box store keep their overwatered plant.

Wow guys awesome video your group did a fantastic job of getting this done i love trees and shrubs they do so much, people do not realize what they bring to a property esp when they grow up and really take hold and provide shade as well. This will pay you back a hundred times over the years. Thanks for your hard work and ecologic knowledge to make the Earth and desert a beautiful place for all that dwells there.

You two are very motivational, and I would like to see what your plantings look like in five years. I am wondering if this method of containing and diverting water would assist those impacted by flooding in Pakistan. Subscribed from the UK x

It definitely can, look up videos on India permaculture and you'll see a lot of the same things. It's all about slowing the water down (not stopping it) so it has a chance to seep into the land. It's particularly effective for monsoon areas where they get a lot of rain in one season and then no rain for the rest of them. Swales really let land USE their water--and once the plants grow it's even better! People think plants suck up all the water but that just isn't true. A place with plants is going to have more water going downstream than a place without plants, because they hold the water, improve the soul so it can retain more moisture, and can even encourage it to rain by distributing pollen which can cause the moisture in the air to form around it.

Great video, especially the doggy breaks! I have to do a mini berm and swale, in my 1/3 acre in the middle of town. There used to be a creek in my property many decades ago (before I moved here) which the town decided to get rid of it. I was able to find where it used to be. My property has an at least 9 foot drop between the front and the back right where the creek used to be. I also know where the snow (Minnesota) sinks when it melts, around where my property ends. Digging will have to be by hand, by little old me. I already turned most of it into a wildlife habitat (certified by the Wildlife Federation). I will be looking back at other videos.

😊 This is wonderful that things are working out the way you need it to and I can also see if it doesn't you will learn how to fix it. I am so proud of you guys and smile every time I see your video alert pop up. Looks like Nine is very happy as well. God Bless! ❤🧡💛💙

Fig trees? Food! Plant food!

No, we're not planting food here yet. We're in the desert, water is at a premium. These trees, like we said, are for fire and wind break, drought tolerant, fast growing. Everything was chosen for a purpose.

Fig trees are fast growing, and the food can be eater right off the tree, or dried. If they freeze back over winter they should re-sprout in spring. My parents lived in the Verde Valley for 14 years and had good luck with brown turkey figs.

So, if you had to do it all over, would the berm and swale be done first, then build around it?

The rain is life. This is ancient techniques and modern. The Portuguese also have had these techniques in practice for centuries. They are masters at knowing and building and retaining thus life sustaining gift from the heavens. It is funny to me when I hear how people who live naturally and work the land and live in this natural way are poor or with out money. Money???? More and more as I get older this money system is becoming more and more disgusting to me. Helping each other and the bartering system will come back when economies collapse.

Depending on the type of eucalyptus maybe plant them somewhere else away from food producing trees. Some/most eucalyptus trees are really thirsty and also there’s something that suppresses root growth of most other plants. Loving your work!!
