Free Geoff Lawton Permaculture Videos
Education, General — by Ecofilms March 20, 2013
We’re rolling out a series of free videos from Geoff Lawton. The first video is about how Geoff Lawton got started in Permaculture and how he used it to transform his burnt out farm to abundance and what a little permaculture knowledge can do for you. This first video has been a terrific hit and has had thousands of views and over 1,800 comments.
The response has been truly phenomenal. See what you’ve been missing.
The second video in the series looks at broader farmland and how to identify good quality land using Permaculture techniques to redesign the landscape back into abundance, to get it to work for you naturally. Geoff visits a number of poorly designed farms that are not functioning properly and explains ways you can harvest rainfall and store that runoff in a series of small ponds to rehydrate and nourish the land back to fertility. This information is not commonly taught in college or university. People pay thousands of dollars to learn this technique, but it’s yours, free. So make sure you watch this video. It’s very good.
The third video looks at the small urban space and at an amazing suburban backyard and how many vegetables, fruit and medicinal herbs can generated if the design is done right.
Please note that you need to register your email, as not all videos were up at time of posting of this trailer. We’ll email you when the next series of videos are up. Don’t worry, you won’t get spammed and you can unsubscribe safely any time you like.
Each video is over 30 to 45 minutes long. When you sign up, please leave a comment.

I signed up for this video series on November 11, 2012, but still have not recieved any follow-up videos since then. Have the follow-up videos not been released yet?
Thank you,
Michael Smith

@ Michael Smith, This is what’s posted with the first video:
“Hi Guys, you are one of the first to see this video and are getting a very special sneak peek preview. We are not planning to launch this video series until early in 2013. I won’t be sending a video in the next week as I mention in the video. We are putting the final touches on editing the next videos and will send them out to you on the email you registered with, when we officially launch in 2013.”

I am close to buying my piece of land. I have made a check list based on Geoff’s advise in articles and podcasts. When will the second video be out? I would love to have it in my head before I buy anything to make sure I haven’t missed an important point.
Thanks for all you do!

Thank you for making these available for free. So many people who want to know your work cannot afford it, so this will have a huge impact.

Great videos! Thanks so much for offering them for free. I look forward to seeing the second and third when posted. I have also signed up many months ago and have yet to receive any emails at all. Don’t know if you’ve sent any out…

I am really looking forward to them. Thank you for releasing them.

The free videos were really inspiring. They seem to have been taken down from Geofflawton.com and now only the video advertising the online PDC is available. Does anyone know if and when these videos might be made available again, because it would be great to share with others. Thanks
