Wow this guy uses rocks to heat his fish ponds with the sun this is amazing what he is doing we can all learn from him. He is even growing Lemons at altitude with no greenhouse... It doesn't give details on the lemons so I have to find out how he is doing it. But he says terracing and rocks and raised beds (not like what we do) create micro climates and more heat etc...
I am intrigued. Need to study this guy more...

Sepp Holzer is a true gardening genius.
What this guy does with slopes and water is truly mind blowing. Hugelkultur will be a big part of our high desert food forest. Good stuff here, for sure.

Beautiful place glad you enjoyed it.
Not to take away from your experience but in the vein of my thread I could not help but think gee could that place support itself or does it import most if it's food and goods etc.
