The Fish Ponds of Molokai
The Amazing Fish Ponds of Molokai
Geoff Lawton visits the Hawaiian Island of Molokai where an 800 year old fish farming system is being restored. These amazing Hawaiian aquaculture systems allow nutrient flow from a series of Taro ponds in the upper slopes to gather nutrient and algae to flow downhill to smaller ponds before going out to sea. Fish are attracted to the nutrient rich fresh water and with the aid of an extended rock wall, are trapped and harvested at the gates at night. An amazing sustainable system.

An Oasis in the American Desert
Discovering an Oasis in the American Desert
Geoff Lawton discovers an oasis in the middle of the Sonoran desert in Arizona.

The system was created 80 years ago. Built during the Roosevelt era, with horse and cart during the Great Depression it remained lost and forgotten for 80 Years! Now thanks to Google Earth imagining, Geoff Lawton tracked it down and discovered a forgotten swale system that was designed to passively harvest water and build soil - without human assistance.

We could re-green a lot of deserts this way and plant an oasis of productive fruit trees. Find out how they did it!
Watch Geoff Lawton explain it all in Detail!
Three Cow BioGas System
My 3 Cow Biogas Digester creates enough Gas for 6 People!
Geoff Lawton visits Permaculture Designer, Tom Kendall's farm where his three cows supply enough cooking gas to suit a family of six people.

Tom's dairy is designed to capture all the manure (including human manure) and direct it to an underground chamber where methane gas is fermented. Excess manure is then directed to his vegetable garden or through his a reed bed filtration system.
