Oh my god john kohler!!! You're in new zealand still? Im in auckland
Nice view and tip 14
Hey John I'm a long time watcher. Love the content. You and others have inspired me to pursue permaculture and now I have a food forest. Keep up the good work. I love it how you bring all the poisons we use on the daily up in your video's and encourage to grow organic. If you could make a video on the heavy metals that are being sprayed above our head by jets(Geoengineering/SRM:Solar Radiation Management) It would get this info out to the public on a large scale. Do it for the soil, do it for our mother. Jah Bless John.
love the videos mostly but the fact that John doesn't respond to viewer comments or suggestions is pretty crappy.
Cool Video!!
John coler I did a hit peace on one of your videos I hope you like it
Watch "Vegans John coler & Jeremy Safron know their diet can't heal" on YouTube

Great video John!
umm.. I have been away for awhile… but I do not see any mention of John's girlfriend any more.. what happen?
hey jhon, I work in an organic farm..its in New Zealand..its an 150 hectre organic farm which has everything from vegetables to a food forest..do u want to come here?
Nice video!
John, I am in the Las Vegas area and would love to come to one of your lectures. Do you put a schedule out somewhere? I learned so much from the first video I saw of yours, but I feel like I have so much more to learn!
No folks, don't leave thick tree branches or logs in your garden, in most climate zones they will take decades to decompose.
have to come see us in the catlins if you are still over here (:
Refreshing change of video John. Nicely adapted. Message is… do as nature does. Do nature.
You talk like man is somehow evil. Without man the forest has no purpose. Other than that you have some good thoughts.
What a great idea! I love the title.
I use soil from my forest, steer and sheep, manure, fungus, peat moss and lake water. My plants love it
Kaleing it!!!
