Permaculture Zone 3: Letting Nature Do the Heavy Lifting
In this video, I take you on a walk through Zone 3 of my off-grid permaculture project on the edge of the Mojave Desert. This is where careful planning, earthworks, and working with nature begin to pay off. By capturing every drop of rain and building healthy soil over time, this area requires less hands-on management while continuing to support trees, wildlife, and long-term resilience. Follow along to see what's thriving, what's still a work in progress, and how permaculture principles can help transform one of the driest landscapes into a more productive ecosystem.
