| Video Discription | In the my last video, I demonstrated the difference between a brand new "baby" agroforestry project and a 4 year old "teenager" system here in subtropical Ecuador (link in comments) Now, here in this 2 year old "toddler" plot, I show what the early signs of progress look like -- when the system starts moving on its own -- and how to work with it in this stage. Waiting for an Agroforestry system to "pop" can try anyone's patience. Sometimes the little saplings just seem to be sitting there. All the things you may have read about "nitrogen fixing", "biomass accumulation", "syntropic" -- where is it? When does it all start to happen? After about 2 years in a tropical zone, if you've planted the right species, you will enough biomass accumulation to start really putting down some good organic mulch. And mulch is the staple food of your system. Compost and biochar are tasty additions, but mulch is absolutely key - provides food for soil microbes - retains moisture level in the ground - shades out invasives - prevents erosion You can use freshly slashed green leaves, dried leaves, twigs and branches, dead flowers, fruit husks -- mix it up. Legumes are great but don't obsess over your mulch mix. Use what you have when you have it. Just use a lot. So how do you get a lot of mulch? Plant fast growing pioneers! In the tropics, bananas work fabulously as you'll see in the video. But every zone has a pioneering species, that's just how nature works. So work with it. |
