Watch the Webinar Replay Here on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96lkzzBb3CQ
Biohacking is catching fire right now...
But is there a limit to the supplements, machines, treatments, routines, and exercises? It seems like everyone is working really hard yet it's all inwardly focused on the body. There are some folks looking externally at heavy metals in the environment like Tamara Rubin of Lead Safe Mama or the contamination coming from pesticides and plastics in our soils, water, and food, but very few people are focused on how to fix it, how to do things regeneratively, and what's best for our bodies and personal health.
We've been so focused on pointing out what's wrong, we've missed what steps we need to take to move forward. The reductionist and deconstructionist methods of reasoning and science are failing us because they don't lead to clear action steps. This is why holistic and regenerative solutions and science have shown up to fill the gap.
Why Does Grounding Work?
If our homes and shoes weren't designed to energetically separate us from the earth's negative charge, grounding wouldn't even be a thing. We likely wouldn't even know about it as a phenomenon because there'd be no lack to fill. Instead we'd be living more naturally, so we'd be healthier and we'd take grounding itself for granted...
There's a LOT we take for granted that work tirelessly for our health and protection every day all day from the microbes to the plants to the natural cycles, they are all supporting us. If we take the time, we can begin to observe these processes and partner with them, and it all starts with the soil. It's the most powerful point of leverage we have to make change, to instill resilience, and to generate abundant, nutrient dense foods.
BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT...
There's a feedback loop between our genetic expression and the soil that previously has never been exposed but is fundamental to all our health... and sickness. When our soils are weak, plants are weak and the animals that feed on them are weakened as well, leaving all open to sickness, disease, and predation. We can spend all the money in the world on supplements and gadgets, but if we don't have clean, nutrient-dense food, regenerative soils, and a thriving ecosystem to live in, we're leaving ourselves open to a whole world of potential problems. If we don't have regenerative soil, we miss out on strengthening the foundation of our health: our food and immediate environments.

These Devices Are Divisive... For A Simple Reason | Morning Thoughts with Matt
It's early morning here when I recorded this but I had to put my thoughts into words and share them:
We had such high hopes for this technology especially for education but something changed along the way. There was a shift from connection and empowerment to divide and conquer, from expression to influence, from choice to dictation. Somewhere along the way, we lost the original internet, and now we all exist moslty in silos, many of us arguing about the world we see through our devices as they are quite divergent from each others. When people don't share a common perception of the world, it naturally creates conflict, fear, division, and distrust.
Interestingly, this is why online courses can be so energizing and stand in contrast to this tendency: in a group you share and discuss the same experience as you would in real life, overcoming to a large degree the division. This is why so many of us have retreated from social media into private courses and communities online: they feel like the internet did 15 years ago!
Here's my early morning thoughts on what has happened and what we can do about it as individuals. Let me know what your perspective is on this - that way we can connect, co-create reality, and make the world a better, more stable, and more wonderful place to live.

Soil Biology is the KEY to All Fertility...
and I mean ALL Fertility because the soil biology is in a very real sense the microbiome of the earth and plants rely upon it as animals rely upon plants and each other for sustenance. Yes, the air, water, minerals, and sun are also key components to all systems, but it's the microbiology that makes the magic happen. By magic I mean, biochemistry, biophysics, and more science that would have been deemed blasphemy or witchcraft in a not too distant past. We now can SEE it all happen in real time with new microscopes and new techniques, some of which have only been created in the past 6 months. We know more about space than we do about our own soil - it's the ultimate frontier and offers us the greatest benefits. This is why doctors are saying kids need to play in the dirt more. This is why people are taking probiotics, eating fresh food, and drinking fermented beverages. This is why folks add compost and compost tea to their soils.
Because the microbiology controls EVERYTHING: Our Health, the Health of All Plants, the Health of Our World, and even Our State of Mind:
Mood and Mindset are directly affected by the Microbes in our Guts.
BUT it's not enough to just say these things in generalizations, I think we should delve into this together because biology within us, in plants, and in the soils are all linked and related. For my part, I can show the soil perspective in situ and how it connects to the biology in the plants and reflect it out onto the world, showing how these things relate to animals and even our own nutrition. This is the path to the regenerative future that we all are seeking: it's biological. That's what the webinar is all about tomorrow: going into the specifics of the who, what, why, and how behind this idea that biology is the key to all fertility.
I hope you can join us tomorrow for the LIVE webinar on this topic, BUT if you can't: there's REPLAYS all July, just signup & join us to see it all.

A New Look at the Carbon Cycle & Climate with Matt Powers - Regenerative Soil - EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW
Carbon is one of the most misunderstood elements and we are going to potentially miss the boat if we are only focused on CO2. What I discovered in my work in Regenerative Soil rocked my world and took time for me to piece together the real story - we still need to draw down the carbon, but it's not the picture that the mainstream media and politicians are running with: we've shrunk the engine of our earth, the actual context of the Carbon cycle, and if we bring it back, we'll see totally different numbers than we might expect especially depending on where we measure and whether or not the photosynthetic capacity of the earth is ready to match it.

Episode 145 | Dr. James White with New Insights into Rhizophagy: The Why & How
Episode 145 James White on Bacteria in Plant Roots - A Regenerative Future with Matt Powers
Last time we spoke with Dr. James F. White of Rutgers University, we learned about how some microbes are consumed while some persist and even are promoted inside the roots of plants, but which ones, why, and how was not known at that time... Since then, there have been new discoveries. Join us for a deep dive into the WHY & HOW of Rhizophagy - we open with a few particularly interesting conversations before the presentation - you can skip to 23:15 to start the presentation itself if you'd like to skip the preamble though the end of the preamble is the best part in some ways for some folks.

Episode 144: SOIL REDOX SECRETS REVEALED with Dr. Olivier Husson
Dr. Olivier Husson is a CIRAD scientist and researcher and author of over 100 published academic articles in some of the most respected scientific journals. He is a soil redox expert which has led him along a path that has touched upon everything from electrochemistry to physics and back again to agronomy - they are all connected. I've spoken with Olivier and worked with him on Regenerative Soil, the book, as well as assisting in a minor way in Olivier's own work. He is a mentor in this space much as Dr. Elaine Ingham, Dr. James White, John Kempf, and several others have been for me. I am in their debt and so I share these conversations with you all because it is a gift to me that they take the time. Much of this information requires a bit of context and prerequisite learning/understanding to perhaps follow, but in my book which is highly visual and in the new course which is even more in-depth, we break it down and make it knowable so you can develop a true fluency around soil science and regeneration.

Matt Powers reads from Regenerative Soil - The Introduction/Chapter 1
This is a reading from my new book: Regenerative Soil
Regenerative Soil - The Science & Solutions covers soil management, remediation, generation, and the science from the biological, chemistry, and biochemistry perspectives and all connected to the natural farming methods, so we can see and calculate those methods for and at scale in all climates and situations from gardening to farming to large-scale remediation. You'll be able to see the cycles for each nutrient/element and why/how/when of their cycles - it builds a principle-based understanding that allows for improvisation and comprehension across disciplines, methods, and techniques.
"Matt Powers’ Regenerative Soil is the reference I will be using and recommending for those working from the backyard to the back paddock.”
— Dr David Holmgren, Permaculture co-originator
and author of RetroSuburbia; the downshifter’s guide to a resilient future

The Argument For The Regenerative Economy
It’s how the world works
It’s how the economy should work
A regenerative economy for a regenerative world.
We live in a regenerative world - it adapts to change, to challenge, and even to attack: it has systems that are anti-fragile if they are allowed to run their preset genetic programs. Life begets life, spreading and supporting the creation of more life. And isn’t that the ideal economy, one that continuously grows and provides exponential benefit to the earth, its peoples, and the future care of all?

Episode 122 | "Carbon Is A Plant Food"... AND???
"CO2 is a plant food… so chill out on the whole global warming/climate change thing"... Sound Familiar?
I’ve heard something like this statement before in groups, comments, messenger, twitter, facebook… but is it a valid statement? Is CO2 just plant food? Is an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere a benefit rather than a problem. Let’s look at how CO2 works first and then dive into HOW they generate their numbers because somewhere between these two there’s a disconnection that is leading many folks to be disconnected from their own breath.

THE GOOD LIFE | Episode 120
A Good Life
How to live a good life? to find happiness, meaning, and fulfillment? What are the steps, the pieces, the ingredients? is it like Oprah said, we need 70k a year minimum? or is it a higher goal that forms a life of purpose? How do we obtain this “good life”? It was not mentioned in schools, my family didn’t focus on it, and it’s from this place inside me that I feel this need for change, for something more, for something to radically change, for something to grow...

WHY SOIL with Matt Powers
Soil is the lynchpin to life as we know it. It’s where carbon is stored, where all life comes from and returns, and it’s also the living foundation for all life on land and sea. If we want to restore our environment, economy, and health FAST, we have to work with soil and not just in one area, but in ALL areas. We have to make SOIL a permanent part of our culture.

Why Compost? Is It That Important?
Are you composting?
Why are you composting?
Why aren't you composting?
How are you composting?
After years of composting I've tried and tested many forms of composting, and I rely upon them all at different times, places, and situations - sometimes you don't have the luxury of this type of composting. You don't have the time, you don't have the resources, or you don't have the physical ability - but that doesn't mean you can't compost: there's ALWAYS a way! I'll be diving into it all this week as we warm up for Permaculture Soil Science & Solutions Kickstarter launching NEXT MONDAY 9/9/19 - SEE YOU THERE!!
Grow Abundantly, Learn Daily, & COMPOST REGENERATIVELY!!!!!

Episode 108 The Permaculture Market Garden With Zach Loeks
The child of a humanitarian and an ecologist, Zach Loeks was raised on a permaculture farm and in many ways embodies the future of permaculture thinking. The lessons and systems of permaculture were implicit in his early life. His first book, The Permaculture Market Garden, is stunning - his artwork shows the mastery that comes from deeply understanding his students. He teaches college soil science and is working on a new book. Everyone should buy his book and keep their eye on Zach because he is carving a new path.

Episode 90 - Become A Force Of Nature
Are you searching for a way out of the rat race?
Are you feeling like time is running out?
I’m sure you’ve seen….
EXPERTS PREDICT: Only 8 Years Left of Wild Animals
Only 12 Years Left to Stop Climate Death
Almost Every Industry Currently On Top WILL CRASH In the Next 10 Years
That Means:
SAVINGS DON”T MATTER
RETIREMENT DOESN”T MATTER
COLLEGE DOESN”T MATTER
NONE OF THAT CAN BE REAL IF WE LOSE THE NATURAL WORLD - IT’S A LIE WE ARE TELLING OURSELVES AS THE HOUSE BURNS DOWN
EVERYONE’S 10 & 20 YEAR PLANS ARE MOOT IF THEY AREN”T REGENERATIVE & RESILIENT - It doesn’t matter how secure they are now. The stability we have now will not be here soon.
Take Back the Tempo - it’s time to WAKE UP & WALK OUT of the burning building. We have a CHOICE still but time is running out. The predictions are just that PREDICTIONS - inaccuracy is expected but the direction is undeniable. It’s time we say NO MORE - We no longer accept the old story. It’s time for us each in our own lives to write a New Story.
Get Informed - skip the mainstream media and start studying SOLUTIONS. Now this seems Hard. It seems hard to find & vet solutions online and even in person right now because there’s a panicked scraping of the bottom of the barrel currently with those hording the remains saying whatever comes to mind to stall the realization as long as possible. The fact is the governments, politicians, industries, fossil fuel industry, mining, industrial ag, big chem, et. they all have known what they are doing is destroying the planet for a long time. George Washington held American farmers in open disgust for their farming practices. Plato and Aristotle worried too. This is NOT a new story but a 10,000 year old habit that has destroyed the world, but that’s still only 5% of the story. 95% of our existence has been regenerative - homo sapiens had a compostable culture for 190,000 years. That’s who we REALLY are. The Info iS OUT THERE: Aboriginal, Indigenous Insights, Advanced Permaculture, Educational & High Performance Psychology, New Mycology, New Biology, New Neuroscience, Quantum Physics, etc. You need a New Story: HAVE YOUR PICK!!
Get Active - We need to take action NOW today this week this month NOW. We can’t wait any longer or hesitate. EVERY MOMENT OF GROWTH AND EVERY REGENERATIVE ACTION HAS EXPONENTIAL POSITIVE EFFECTS RIGHT NOW. As we have lost over 50% of ALL LIFE the past century, nurturing life is NOT happening, so every foothold nature gets is HUGE and the rebirth of what is ALREADY LOST.
BUT I don’t Have Time
BUT I don’t have money
BUT I don’t have energy
BUT I don’t have support
Whatever follows BUT is your limiting belief. THat’s part of the Old Story too. If you are hearing this, you are on the internet and have the same access to resources as I do. We CAN find a community of support online, we CAN educate ourselves, we CAN QUIT, We CAN LEAVE, We CAN CHANGE, We CAN BE FORCES OF NATURE.
Become a FORCE of Nature -
Restore Large Landscapes
Regreen Deserts
Restore Local Communities & Economies
Restore the Oceans & Watersheds
Provide Sanctuary for Biodiversity to Regenerate
Redesign cities and urban areas to be regenerative
It’s ALL POSSIBLE - I KNOW PEOPLE DOING IT. They’re my mentors, colleagues, peers, and leading examples - many of them are in my course.

How Will The Advanced Permaculture Certification Work?
Show Notes:
How will the Advanced Permaculture Certification work?
It won’t work like a PDC.
It’s not about # of hours you watch a video or listen to lecture or if you can demonstrate learning in a backyard or homestead design on paper.
All the instructors, we all want you to LIVE Permaculture inside & outside the garden.
It can’t be overnight & we can’t do it ALL alone on a homestead: it has to be a community effort.
Have you met folks who are 100% or nearly completely off the grid?
They don’t get out much or do much other than work on their homestead. They can’t scale much because they are maintaining so many systems.
Have you met the inverse? The niche regenerative entrepreneurs?
These folks pick a path and master it providing their community with ethical regenerative resources.
Jack of all Trades Master of None - I was able to excel in music once I focused on one instrument. Likewise in homesteading, we often stretch ourselves thin and cannot excel at or scale most of our systems.
Our Adv Certification process will focus on getting you on the path to making this your life and your living: it works much like a senior project. Make a certification proposal at the end of the course. Get it approved. Present it to the class. Put it into action and report back on your progress. According to your own timelines and metrics for success, you will earn your certification. You’ll have our support, the entire community will be with you every step of the way to answers questions and bounce ideas off of.
We have almost 50 teachers now so you get that diversity of point of view: Tour the Real Regenerative Niches that are in The Advanced Permaculture Student Online, learn how to partner with nature at a next level inside and outside the garden.

Why Bother Gardening? (or The Top 6 Reasons to Garden This Year)
Why Bother Gardening? Isn’t it going to be hard to even approach the cost efficiency and quality of store bought products? How can amateurs even compete?
Actually, Amateurs lead in terms of growing. Those farmers have to tend acres and acres of food in most instances, so their products don’t get the same amount of individual attention and care. We can improve our soil, plants, and our products much easier because of the size of our systems and the fact that we aren’t making picture perfect foods for a store scenario. A lot of what those farmers grow never makes it to sale - most of their work gets thrown out, not even properly composted and returned to their fields. We always hear about food waste, but think about it from the farmer’s perspective: all that work just to be thrown out? It’s a hard situation and makes it harder for them to care specifically about their crops and plants like home gardeners readily do. You know what I’m talking about: how many times has a gardening friend of yours begged you to come and check out this amazing tree - you’ll never believe the fruit on it this year or you HAVE to taste this! Gardeners have more enthusiasm on average because they know why Gardening is so special.
The Top 6 Reasons to Garden this Year
Save $$$ on Seed & Food: Grow, Preserve, Seed Save, & Barter
Best Taste - Nothing like it in stores
Nutrient Density - Eat Less & Stay Full Longer for better digestive health & a longer lifespan
Selection Diversity - Grow the rarest foods that stores can’t even hope to carry
Light Exercise - may start out with digging but ends with daily walks with a basket
Self-Reliance - Confidence, Freedom, Security, & Community Stability
Make this the Year you start that Garden or take your Garden to the Next Level!

Do Patterns Even Matter?
Why do Patterns even Matter?
Why is Permaculture Focused on Pattern Literacy?
What is a Pattern?
Patterns are things that repeat in a predictable way.
My Story: Pattern literacy is both basic and foundational, so if you don’t recognize it readily, you can make grievous errors. For example, in my first garden I placed the rows pointed downhill which in a dry hot climate promotes run off, erosion, drying of the land and overall stress in the garden - I didn’t see the overall pattern and how to interact with it so I couldn’t setup my garden properly. As soon as I began studying Permaculture with Geoff Lawton, I quickly recognized my issue and literally tore up my entire spring garden, reset it, and replanted it. How else could I have shown images of the garden to my classmates in Geoff’s course? I had to do it the right way!
What other patterns are they?
Pests are part of a Pattern - just wait a few days and see if something comes to remove them. If your soil, plants, and system are healthy, something will come to rescue your plants. Whenever a plant is stressed they are either calling for an attack on themselves or a rescue from an attack. Recognizing the signs and patterns of each is vital to managing a garden wisely.
There are MANY Patterns - some just seem like Organized Shapes, but even these have purpose.
WAVE example - Sound, Light, Vibration. off/on, night/day, winter/summer, heart beats, breathing (chest rises and falls), the rise and fall of land, the meander of streams and rivers (slows the water and increases the life capacity and cycling), waves on the ocean (starting with a hurricane spiral and ending in a spiral), waves of sound, vibration, pleasure pain are all on a spectrum of waves - all viruses and tumors have unique frequencies they resonate at - the Pulse of On Off that makes a wave defines EVERYTHING on this Planet. Day Night. Summer Winter. Male Female. Predator Prey. Good Evil. Tides. Life. Plot/Story.
Maybe getting carried away here, BUT You See the Point or the Pattern that is ;)

Think Gardening Is Expensive?
Think Gardening is Too Expensive?
Seed Save, Swap, & Forage - You can take 1 packet and turn it into a gallon of seeds in only a few seasons.
Use Free Resources - Craigslist, FreeCycle, NextDoor, etc. Pallets, Fencing, Firewood, Manure, Old/Wet Straw, Plants
Use Natural Farming Techniques - Hand tools, Throw Sow, Self Seeders, Simple, Easy, Cheap, & Rhobust
Get Connected to your Local Community - Locals help, teach, & share
If you think Gardening is expensive, you should see what cancer’s costs are. Our health has no price. Growing a vibrant and diverse garden and food forest are the best defense against sickness, aging, disease, cancer, inflammation, and deficiency that we have. Grow a garden for your Future Care and the care of the earth and all those who rely upon it.

The 6 Keys To Winter Gardening
The 6 Keys to Winter Gardening
Are you intimidated by Winter Gardening?
I was, and it held my gardening in the spring and summer back for years. I let the weeds take over every winter thinking I couldn’t garden despite their abundance and growth, and I rationalized that I was letting the land “rest” which is an old paradigm that doesn’t work as it used to because the world has changed. The fallow periods in European fields of the middle ages allowed wild elements from bordering forest and wild pastures to reinoculate their fields and reset them. With our wild systems in stress, distant from most human populations, and in severe decline, we cannot hope for the rest periods to be ones of large regeneration in our fields and gardens. Instead we need to intentionally ramp up the regeneration by wisely choosing to take correct steps to align our systems to nature’s patterns and cycles using permaculture.
Once I started using these keys, winter gardening became possible and in many ways EASIER than spring and summer gardening because:
- things moved slower it was easier to adapt and respond
- there are limited options so decisions are easier
- there’s nothing else growing on in winter it’s easy to be excited about your garden success!
The 6 Keys to Winter Gardening
Start Earlier than you think
Choose Plants Wisely: Brassicas & Legumes mostly: Siberian, winter, hiver, shortest, fall, hunger gap
Orientation & Placement
Mulch Blankets
Water when it’s Warm & Water minimally
Cloche/Hoop House/Greenhouse/Old Windows (Maybe)
Even if it’s too late to start early for you this year, consider an early spring garden to prep your soil and grow in that pesky hunger gap. You can garden in many places year round but it takes some planning and strategy! Good Luck & Keep Growing!

Too Many Weeds In Your Garden?
Too Many Weeds?
Do weeds crowd out your food before you know it?
My Story - Weeds took over my garden!!!
Test your Soils pH in Multiple Areas
Alkaline Soils = Nitrates = Weeds & Annuals = Vegetative Growth
Acidic Soils = Ammonium = Perennials = Reproductive Growth (Fruit)
Obviously super acidic or alkaline soils exist and are neither suitable for most garden vegetables. You can change their constitution as long as what made them acidic or alkaline is not a constant presence or constantly accumulating. Compost which is soil life & organic matter acts as a universal pH buffer.
What To Do
Compost
Compost Teas & Extracts
Cover Crops & other Nutrient Accumulators
Legumes & other Nitrogen Fixers
Ripping/Broadforking
Chop & Drop
Sometimes Earthworks
Sometimes Biochar
SO Don’t Pull Your Weeds: Chop & Drop them! WHY?
They Accumulate the Nutrients Lacking in that Soil
They Generate Organic Matter
You can Chop BEFORE they Form Seed!
It Leans into the Succession
Use Compost & Grow Better!

Are Poor Soils Holding You Back?
Are Poor Soils Holding You BACK?
My Story - DCG to Rich Soil in Months
Clay = High in Minerals, Excellent at Bonding, Retains Water
Sandy = Well Draining, Easy to Inoculate, Accepts Water Readily
Silty = Easy to Work, Makes Rich & Fertile Soils
BUT…
Clay - Can Repel Water, Can Resist Aeration & Movement
Sand - Can be Devoid of Organic Matter & Life beyond Pioneer Species, Can be Highly Alkaline, Can Move On its Own
Silt - Can Wash or Blow Away, Easy to Erode, & Easy to Use Up the Nutrient Bank
The Missing Ingredients in all of this are Organic Matter & Soil Life
You can make good soil out of pure sand, silt, or even clay, you just need enough organic matter and the correct biology present. Dr. Elaine Ingham has proven this as have others.
How is it Possible? What can I do?
Grow & Chop & Drop the plants that accumulate the nutrients and biomass that your soil and needs to accomplish the goals you have for that site.
What to Grow?
C4 Grasses for C&OM - Explosive? Carbon Sequestration Kings, Carbon = Organic Matter
Legumes & all Nitrogen Fixers for Nitrogen (& Biomass - cowpeas = high C&N)
Mustard for Phosphorous & Potassium (pioneers = brassicas partner with actinobacteria which acts a lot like fungi)
Daikon Radishes - Aeration, N Scavenge & Release, & Phosphorous
Peas & Fava Beans - Winter cover & N&C
Comfrey - OM - Minerals? More like Protein, Fiber & Mucopolysaccarides which would call in large numbers of soil life in to break down. Duke’s Phytochemical database doesn’t show them as Dynamic as other plants. Every plants accumulates a spectrum of nutrients that fluctuates with its environment and genetic parentage. Comfrey isn’t “bad” but it isn’t what many have made it out to be: it doesn’t have those hyper deep roots and there aren’t more nutrients deeper - most nutrients are found in the top 6-8” of soil.
If you have what looks like good soil color and some organic matter but are lacking minerals like in Missouri, you may find you still are having issues. You may need to bring in a few things. For one, fungi and bacteria in the soil trap and hold minerals and keep them cycling, so make sure your soils have a thriving soil foodweb economy.
Minerals (Kelp, Seaweed, Fish Emulsion - avoid mining minerals)
Machines (Farm-scale Chop & Drop, Planting, & Harvesting, or you may need to rip/keyline the site before you can really affect great change to the soil - you may need swales)
Animals - Animal pressure can dramatically change a site in ways not possible through work with a machine or even by hand. Holistically managed grazing can transform many sites that do not respond well to human interaction.
You could DIY everything with a shovel, seeds, and time. That’s what I did in Central Valley California with 140F soils, DCG granite that was bullet proof, & constant animal pressure. It’s possible.
How Fast?
Depends on your diligence. In areas I compost tea’d, swaled, and mulched heavily, it was months, but in other areas further away from my zone 1 it took a couple years to reach the same level of change.
Start Today: get the right seeds & prep the soil the right way this year!

The Top 5 Reasons To Grow Perennials Over Annuals
Top 5 Reasons to Grow Perennials, not Annuals
1. Soil Building = Carbon Sequestration
2. Longterm & Stable
3. Low Maintenance yet High Yields
4. Supports Biodiversity
5. Easy to Start
The only reason annuals are more prevalent in our diet and gardens in practice is due to their quick return (within that season or year) and scaling up ability of seed & yield, but it feeds into a cycle that outstrips the land, soil, and even our health.
The age of valuing short term gain over future systemic stability is ending rapidly. Even the World Bank has decided to divest completely from oil and gas extraction.
- Plant a Tree, 20 Trees, or better yet a diverse Food Forest
- Eat a Perennial-based Diet - Local & Native
- Live & Eat Seasonally

The 3 Most Important Steps To Working With Nature
Are you an experienced gardener but still looking for a way to grow the way Nature does? Without constant costly inputs?
How to Grow with Nature - a cyclical pattern
1. Observe & Study (experience + book knowledge)
2. Alignment (Climate, Site Energies: Solar Path, Water & Wind Pressures, Slope, Aspect)
3. “Accept Feedback”: Continue to Observe & Study through Reflection & Discussion in order to adapt to improve alignment or realign to new insights or phenomenon.
Methods of Alignment
- “STUN: Strategic Total Utter Neglect” Mark Shepherd
- Throw Sow (broadcasting)
- Dry Farming
- The Best Seeds/Plants from the Worst Areas
- Broadforking/Keyline Ripping, not Tilling
- Compost & Natural Inputs like Legumes/CoverCrops/MulchCrops
- Companion Planting/Polycultures/Plant Guilds

Episode 71 Reading The Last Chapter Of The Permaculture Student 2 - Get It Free!
From the Permaculture Student 2:
"Permaculture is a way of seeing the world to solve problems holistically and ethically. It’s not just how to garden, run a business, or design a farm; it is a lens that allows us to recognize the patterns and attributes of the natural world of which we are part of, inextricably. When you study permaculture in-depth, it changes how you view everything. You see whole systems everywhere and whole systems within those systems. You start to identify and recognize the plants in your local area. You notice the sun path. You also start to include earth care and future care in your planning, thinking, problem solving, teaching, daily living, and relationships. Your peers will notice. Your family will notice. You will notice and reflect more than you ever have. Once you begin to see yourself as part of a cycle, you begin to have more choices in your behavior both ecologically and socially. Permaculture helps us to recognize our place in the natural order but also the limitless possibilities. We see how we can help, how we can prosper, how we can connect beneficially, and how we can ensure a bright future for all. Despite all the damage we’ve done and continue to do collectively, we can be the most powerful creative forces on earth. We can set the stage for nature to restore the degraded and damaged ecosystems, and we can encourage and support that transition through our daily lives and work. We are not helpless; we are the only ones with the power to reverse the trend, and we can make an abundance and heal our communities at the same time. Use this book, its references, the peer reviewers’ courses, and your own research and experiences to lead you to more effective regenerative patterns. There has never been a greater need for ethical, regenerative living at any point in human history than there is now. You now carry with you the information and tools to redesign our world to be regenerative not destructive, to teach people to be producers not just consumers, and to live ethically not just lawfully.

Episode 70 How To Have An Amazing Garden And A 9 - 5 Job Plus A Family Life
Have you ever wondered how some people who wrk full time right alongside you have epic gardens with yields all summer long? How do they do that? They make it look effortless. Meanwhile you’re struggling to get things watered, to amend the soil, to prune, to harvest, to chop and drop, and it kind of steals the fun from you?
I was there! A lady up the hill grew 10,000 lbs of tomatoes on a 1/4 of an acre! What was she doing!? I actually have a video of what she was doing on my Facebook page and Youtube - I’ll link to it in the description - she was irrigating her gardens and orchards with her duck pond water - with duck manure! It fed those tomatoes superbly! I didn’t have the money, ducks, permission, or really mechanical know how to pull her system off on my land. Plus it was so dry where we were the debate over water was always always an issue. Perpetually pouring new water into a pond didn’t make sense for us. How could I get from point A to point B with no real money!
Well I figured it out and did it while still a public school teacher struggling to make ends meet - I scaled up to a full 2 acre garden managed with nothing but a knife, a shovel, manure, animals, straw, pallets, some fencing (in the early stages before I stopped using them), and animal feed - it took a progression, one you can see on Powers Permaculture Family Farm on Facebook if you’d like to go back in time and see my trial and error! It took some tinkering and some places are more stubborn than others but I changed our barren decomposed granite into rich deep dark chocolate colored loam in only a few seasons and in some places within a season...

Episode 69 The Advanced Permaculture Student Online Course In The Works
Have you ever wished there was a professional career path for Permaculture, not just gardening or farming, but as in all regenerative work?
Me too! As a high school teacher who’s job it was to prepare young adults for their careers, I was always searching for better options for my students. When I took my Geoff Lawton Online PDC in 2014 he kept mentioning books for school and children, and I went looking for them and I couldn’t find anything but a school garden book for teachers, and I though it couldn’t be that, but after asking Geoff lawton repeatedly about it, I was told that was the book he was referring to, and I was frustrated: how could there be nothing for kids out there?
How’s anyone supposed to make a living at this? LISTEN FOR MORE!!!

Episode 68 Simple Soil Solutions With Matt Powers
Simple Soil Solutions with Matt Powers
Have you ever looked into some of these newly popularized soil amendment systems and just felt overwhelmed by the steps, time, labor, and costs for special ingredients and inputs? Shouldn’t working with nature be easier - not like an advanced chemistry class recipe?
It really doesn’t need to be all that complicated. Soil is pretty simple actually though people are making money all over the world making it sound complex. I’ve worked for years now with Dr. Elaine Ingham a leading global soil scientist who’s groundbreaking work has changed composting and soil biology forever as we know it, and she can break it down to cartoon levels and even has described how she’d do this on video one time when I was visiting and filming her farm. It’s so simple children can understand it in saturday morning cartoon format. Can you dig it?

Have You Tried All The Organic Garden Tips, But Still Don't Have The Garden You Want?
Click Here: http://www.thepermaculturestudent.com/course-signup/permaculture-gardening-with-matt-powers
Have you followed all the organic gardening advice out there that you can find and are you still not seeing the kind of results you’re looking?
I was there - I wanted a giant garden so I could stop paying huge sums of money for organic food and still provide safe food for my family (my wife is a 3 time cancer survivor and we have two young boys and I was just a substitute teacher at that point - so this HAD to work for me).
The deer, wild pigs, ground squirrels, the dead dirt, the drought, the heat. It was all so extreme in the Central Valley of California that most people thought it was impossible to garden there unless you spent more money and time than it was worth. I didn’t have money - I had the ability to research, study, and test the most cutting edge and advanced gardening techniques though - I had access to land and the internet. There are many amazing techniques, methodologies, and disciplines out there, but none of them cut it in the 140°F soils, severe drought, and heavy animal pressure that I was experiencing. It took permaculture design course for me to understand the principles behind my situation, so that I could partner with nature and grow hundreds of pounds of food effortlessly in 2 acre year-round garden without fences while growing feet of soil and astonishing local farmers and enchanting PBS viewers and local visitors. No offsite inputs were used aside from straw, animal feed, manure, and seeds and it was managed with only hand tools.
Is this just for folks in my climate or able-bodied folk like me? No, it’s based on universal natural principles: I’ve taught students how to apply permaculture principles to gardening in all the major climates and on all continents excepting Antartica, helping hundreds of students of all ages and abilities in my online courses over the pasts 2 years. My students are saving gallons of seed, growing hundreds of pounds of food, and growing rampant gardens of unruly beauty - many of my students are also becoming leaders and teachers in their regions and communities, and you can too.
You’ve waiting long enough for the garden of your dreams - your time is now:

Episode 65 - Hope and Climate Change
Have you ever thought about the magnitude of the Climate Change problem? How many people there are now? How little there is left of pristine nature? Has it ever just eaten up your hope?
It’ll ruin your day - it could ruin a week, a month, your everyday - your island might be washing away, BUT the power, rapidity, and awe inspiring capabilities of nature will always inspire those of us willing to observe.
HOPE is a product of Observation, research, practice, and reflection. We feel hope when we see a positive future for ourselves and our communities.
HOPE is a product of Observation, Research, Practice, and Reflection.
We feel hope when we see a positive future for ourselves and our communities.
- Observe Nature - Look at how the ruins of Detroit has been reclaimed by nature.
- Research the Power of Nature - The Loess Plateau, Geoff Lawton’s Greening the Desert, Al Baydha Project, & NanoClay. Fungi can eat cigarette butts, Mealworms eat styrofoam, Bacteria eat crude oil, and so much more.
- Practice Working with Nature - Permaculture and all regenerative living practices.
- Reflection - Hope comes from working ethically with Nature and Observing the results over time.
If you are feeling hopeless,
- Get out in Nature - Go for a Hike or Walk and watch the birds closely
- Watch Lessons of the Loess Plateau (Youtube), Greening the Desert with Geoff Lawton (Youtube), or From Sand to Soil in 7 hours (TEDtalk) or read The Permaculture Student 2 which features many amazing large-scale examples.
- Grow a Garden, Compost All Organic Waste, Use Graywater to Irrigate your Garden, & try adopting the strategies and technology featured in The Permaculture Student 2.
- Meditate (Clear Your Mind), Pray (Direct Your Mind), & keep a Gratitude Journal (Frame Your Mind)
