Q&A

Why did you decide to leave city life and live off-grid?

We wanted to escape the chaos and crime of the city and live a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle.

What is permaculture and nature culture?

Permaculture is a design system that mimics natural ecosystems, while nature culture refers to growing plants in harmony with nature's patterns and processes.

How do you grow your own food using indigenous methods?

We study the methods of indigenous peoples who have lived off the land for thousands of years and use their techniques to grow food without relying on modern agriculture.

What are mini ecosystems and why are they important?

Mini ecosystems are self-contained systems where different plants and organisms support each other. They promote biodiversity, attract beneficial insects, and create a sustainable environment for growth.

How do you attract pollinators and beneficial insects?

We plant flowers, herbs, and fruit trees that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. We also provide habitats for beneficial insects that control pests naturally.
