In this episode, we focus on the practical techniques behind earth-working—how to shape land to retain water, prevent erosion, and support productive ecosystems. We explore core principles like planning for slope and flow, choosing the right types of earthworks for different landscapes, and using simple tools to measure level accurately. From planting strategies that protect new formations to using on-site materials like clay, stone, and gravel, this episode provides a full walkthrough of how...

This episode dives into how living systems and built environments both follow recurring shapes and flows, from branching river deltas to spiraling herb gardens. By examining patterns like waves, spirals, and boundary conditions, we learn how design can become more adaptive and efficient. Whether the topic is orchard layouts, water channels, or architectural choices, recognizing these natural forms allows us to collaborate with nature rather than compete against it. Join us as we explore patte...
