How I discovered Permaculture

In this personal reflection, the speaker describes watching a Geoff Lawton farm‑tour video that showcased a tuna farm in Australia where chickens are kept in a mobile poultry net (a movable coop). The chickens scratch, till, and manure the soil as they move, after which Lawton plants food‑forest trees and surrounds them with vegetables and low‑bushes. The speaker experiences an epiphany: the seemingly separate activities of gardening and poultry‑keeping are actually interconnected, and permaculture serves as the conceptual toolbox that links these practices, allowing one to be both a skilled chicken keeper and a master gardener through a unified design approach.
