Sepp Holzer Permaculture - Terraces & Raised Beds
Lungau, Austria. Pine forest carpets the alpine foothills. It looks natural, a typical scene from a tourist brochure- but it was not always so. This landscape used to support diverse flora and fauna until the pine trees were planted making the soil acidic…and acidic soil is completely unsuited to agricultural use. Farmer Sepp Holzer has made a name for himself by successfully challenging this damaging practice. 27 mins
