We are in the middle of renovating our house in an abandoned Portuguese village. Today we are visiting the Permaculture Project Monte Cruz. We are going to learn a lot about water retention and how to implement it! Come with us to a beautiful spot and get to know Monte Cruz.
Stay tuned for more building content and why not hit the notification bell so you don’t miss it 😉 thanks for watching!
My name is Jasper and i bought a house in a Portuguese ghost town. Together with my dogs Zoey & Akira we show you the rebuild of our house and what it is like living the daily life in Central Portugal.

Great video! I've learned a lot and really want to see what kind of solution you' ll come up with in your land. Thank you
Look for Tiny shine home on you/tube to learn more about berms and swales!! Very interesting!! Enjoy!! From South Africa.
I finally found the Link to the YouTube Site of Monte Cruz youtube.com/watch?v=F_bfV28JoTs. Really interesting Info. So thank you for taking us along your visit
Raised beds work really well in Portugal. You just have to adapted to hot climates, geff Lawton had a video on it. I had a problem for 9y but than adapted and it works really well. I'm doing my water system this year. Loved the video and the Chanel. Hope to meet you guys one day.
I've watched Monte Cruz's videos in the past and they've done an amazing job as it's so very very dry where they live. Equally, when you look at what the Portuguese did in the past, with all the terraces, it makes sense today, as water was captured on the terraces, and didn't just run down a hill/mountain and wash away the good soil.
Loved the video. It was very informative and enjoyable.
are those permaculture system good for aquaponic system to grow vegetable like lettuce, tomatoes, peppers etc?
Great video… very interesting.
Very informative video but major distraction with Jasper constantly turning the camera on himself.
Thank you so much for sharing this little tour was so informative.. many thanks
A POLITE REQUEST: Jasper – I have been a viewer and supporter from day one. Can I ask that you relay to your editor that the annimation between shots he has just started using (the fast 'film reel' scroll up) is causing serious issues for me (rare brain damage condition). I hoped it was a one off trial use (as I see he is trying other new effects) – but it seems he is continuing to use it and (for my health) I cannot watch your footage for this reason (I do try fast forwarding when I think this will come – but it still catches me out, and I want to watch it all! I understand that of course you can continue to use this effect – but needed to draw your attention to the problems it may cause other people with other issues. Much love from our ghost town in Cyprus!😎🌅🥰
Very interesting topic and such an important practice for the future
Is it not time to try and get a roof on your house before taking on too many other projects . ? Winter and the wet season is only just round the corner ! LOL
Enjoyed that greatly, very inspiring.
Fantastic video.. really interesting 👍👍

🙏☘️😘

Hi Jasper, I am very excited that you are planning to adopt permaculture principles. I look forward to see how things progress for you.
This was a beautiful video showing how quickly nature responds to efforts made to revitalize the earth. Monte Cruz is doing amazing work out there, This reminds me of people trying to recapture rain water in the deserts of America's South-West, where the aquifers have been depleted by withdrawal of ground water for often wasteful human uses, irrigation, drinking, swimming pools, excessive pumping drying up wells, climate, etc. These are the people who may yet save our abused planet. Meanwhile, the fertile earth of Ukraine is being destroyed by a madman's slow-witted and egotistical actions.
