I think you're doing good work. Many people try to replicate systems from syntropic agriculture in the tropics in moderate climates. Same with permaculture they implement swales in areas that have plenty of water or on slopes causing oversaturation and causing landslides. Every place is different and we need to adapt to the region. We need to copy the principles not the exact techniques, plants or set up. It's about tuning into nature.
I think you do great work experimenting with the principles of permaculture. in temperate climates. And you are right that there is not so much need to generate shadow. But what I am missing are flowers to attract the right insects to combat pests.
Awesome very excellent insights. You’re in a humble mode of learning. We are doing similar to you in western US near the coast in a temperate climate. Thanks for sharing as we learned many things and will apply your learnings to our area.
Some nispero, granado, membrillo, madroño, endrino, avellano will be very more productive in that shade, all prunus want a lot of sun, grapes too, maybe with prunus you do : prunus 2 meters biomass just with a small canopy in the top. Because nashi in really productive in the shade you can see, pear is emergent he hates shade.
I can see quite a breeze coming through your system at some points in the video. Stratas and plants require stagnating air to optimize inner watercycles and optimize photosynthesis.
I'm just waiting get patch council land for community project.
Currently I'm propagating plsnts in nursery ready to plant when given comes
Planning do the 1 biomass 1 fruit tree spacing and on left side of a row I going grow berriers raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry etc. And right some biomass ground covers rubarb, mint, canvas and comfrey.
In a temperate climate what is/are the main advantage of a biomass tree? With the chopping making the soil more fungal dominant? Or they force the root growth of the fruit trees deeper? Or by cutting the biomass tree its sends general growth signal through the micorrizhae to the fruit trees? Thanks for this video, superb infos!
