Agroforest plantation in portugal
A video showing one of our agroforests in Portugal, which has rows of fruit trees on swales, with grape vines between. Between the swales, we have ally crops, and all around, we have nurse trees that block wind, attract beneficial insects, repel pests and bring in vital nutrients (nitrogen fixers and dynamic accumulators)

Burning for fuel?
I Learnt a lot❤🎉🎉
If you're making biochar, I've found that a much more efficient way is to have a bin of water and putting a bit of the embers in it at a time then dumping them out with a shovel (I have a 'mud shovel' which has holes in, the ater can drain out and it's great!). If you're being careful with your wayer supply this is a MUCH more water efficient eay to do it. As an example, I used about 100L of water to make 400-500L of biochar.
Did you try putting some on your land or fruit tree trunks without composting it first.?
❤this is fantastique !the world needs more of tree planter😊
❤from india... Where i get this type of mesh...seperation is difficult 😢
Wow what a good idea❤🎉🎉
This is great.
👍
Where did you get that garden sprayer?
Great video! Love compost and compost tea!
No it's not
Making and using compost tea is a waste of time.
The act of burning releases carbon into the aymosphere does it not? So creating biochar is probably a carbon neutral process or may release more than it fixes... Am i wrong here?
Then what do we do with the eucalyptus trees we have to remove from the land for reforestation to native trees? If we compost them, then all the carbon is released to the atmospheres
Where is part 2 ?
Spectacular. Thank you so much, very informative
:)
Let the mustard grow and save the seed then mow and leave on the ground as a mulch and sow into it next year
Sound slide a good idea. Our issue is we have to also feed the sheep
I do not understand why a person just does t answer the questio and show the process. Why keep the camera on a person face. I care not to look at someone's mug. Plus you were cutting g
most people love this video exactly as it is - he explained everything so well. if you don't, simply fuck off carol
You are behaving like bozo
Who knew
have you tried turning it into sliage?
This is for red wiggler worms?
What size is the openings for the lambs
Use them for tea and also natural incense
Yes!!!
varry good bro. you are on right way.
Fantastic. Thank you
Do you ever just put the worms in a raise bed planter with the plants in it too?
No as they are not the right type of worms for planters. Better to add worm castings from your worn farm to the planters

Is it easy to remove the tree stump? It seems there is no clear answer to the question of whether eucalyptus trees drain the underground water tables. I've read some articles, and some say they are water guzzlers, while others are saying this is a myth. Some say that nothing grows near it, while other articles say it's good for other agricultural crops. What is the real truth?
Where we live, nothing grows under it.
Some A-Hole thought it was a good idea to bring these to the U.S .. I remove these weeds on a daily basis and i'm sick of it.. especially near power lines where we have shut down power .. it really pisses people off. We have to clean out everything down below the top soil because the fricken acorns also need to be removed ! It's and endless battle !!!
Tell me about it. We have a worse invasive one here called mimosa as well. Just trying to get the most use out of removing them all. Fire wood, wattle and daub and charcoal.
I didn't know chickens pay for their food
Haha they pay for their food in eggs ;)
That doesnt look like duckweed, the roots look far too long and the leaves too large
I did also think that but they came out of a swampy area so i guess grew a little different.. but if it is not, the chickens seem to love it anyhow!
Awesome
Good Short!
Thank you!
Im loving this , good hard work well played , ❤ but the best will come from the fruits of your labor .
Thank you :)

Respected sir you can delever India by speed post or DTDC courier service or courier service I pay courier service charges or tagasaste seed charge pey online I'm from India
Someone must sell then in India?
What we do is use cattle to do much of the weed control by placing a temporary polybraid (electrified) next to the trees and plants we don't want grazed. They convert the green matter into a microbe rich soil amendment also.
I've got electric Fence and I wanted to do that, but I just have so many daily or weekly jobs already, I can't be dealing with moving an electric fence all the time. Trying to just use permanen fencing and have less regular jobs
on your scale you will only move an electric fence every few months - with cattle and sheep you need infrastructure and knowledge - so if you cant manage grazing animals properly dont even think about it - stick to what you are doing - which gets me back to the point - to create a permanent agriculture you need scale and grazing animals
for every $100,000 you spend (inc labour) what is your return per annum from production?
That's such a difficult answer as it depends on what tree it is you plant and if you also plant Ally crops and which ones. And also if the 100k includes land and equipment or not. If you just plant trees, you don't get much return for a few years but then get a return for many, many years. Also, here in Portugal, the government matched what you invest for a new firm and pays annual subsodies for the plantations.
i am referring only to your unique permaculture farm. will it ever pay a basic wage to its laborers ?
@@gardenersgraziers7261 Oh I see, yes. It currently pays 2 full-time people and a few part-time people. we have to be creative. selling plants, ally crops (veg), animals, doing markets, teaching courses. I personally work here 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
nice - so if you break it down to food production only it will never be capable of being economically viable. or maybe at some point in the future - just saw a similar farm in sweden that started off without paying its staff shut down its commercial food operation - because they had to start paying wages - lets live in hope that one day somebody might create a viable model for others to mimic. viable mixed farms can be done now with a dependency upon fossil fuels - but not without. you cant get past oil and coal today (without scale) unless you let the other half of the world starve.
@@gardenersgraziers7261 the reality is people are lazy to buy from us and find it easier to buy from the supermarket. but our food production veggie boxes does pay for 1 part time staff member who only manages that
👏👏👏👏
:)
Nice work!
Thank you
👍
❤
Great info! Thanks
Eucalyptus is very precious and has many health benefits especially fighting diseases and viruses like Carona, Malaria, .. etc. and many other cures The world is suffering from climate change and temperatures are getting higher and we need all the trees to safe our planet and not kill them, especially in a hot countries 😡
Eucalyptus is destroying our eco system and causing wild fires. We are reforestation it with native species
Killing trees is a crime!! Eucalyptus is a treasure and has great health benefits . 😢
Not here in Portugal. Its a fire hazard and we reforestation with native trees
eucalyptus is an invasive species in portugal that destroys native ecosystems, chokes out other plants and drives away wildlife. trees are good, sure, but eucalyptus is a huge environmental problem in portugal
All of the amendments are great - but you let the roots dry out 😱 Number one priority with bare root trees and woody shrubs is NEVER let the roots dry out. Once they are dried out they can not be rehydrated. Functionally, the dry roots are dead. 👍
The last 1000 odd bare roots trees I planted like this over the last 7 years are doing great. We buy the tres from the nursdary and plant them the same day
@@keelapermaculturefarm I am happy that you have had success! Best practice is to never let the roots dry out. It's as simple as keeping them wrapped in wet burlap or a plastic trash bag until they get planted. The less stress the better. Best of luck going forward! 😊
