      If you have hot climmate more than 4 month, please try to grow ginger, turmeric & galangal. All of those are the ginger family & have similar growing requirement
      Many said those plant as "green gold" but im not sure how expensive those spice where you live. Many online material you can find, both video tutorial or research paper about how to grow

    Great content Moreno, you don't often get UA-camrs or content creators delving into the pre-farming stage to the extent you've gone into here. So useful to see how you laid out initial plans based on local research and approaching customers before any seeds are planted. This seems like the logical best way to do it, I would've definitely gone the other way around if you hadn't educated me. I'd love to see more on that if there's much else to discuss. Hoping I can put these lessons into practice in the near future.

    Thanks for sharing your approach, very valuable nformation!! I'm currently running a small 400sqm no dig market garden, as part of a bigger permaculture project in Germany.
    For me it was a really good reminder to meet the restaurant owners this winter and completely plan the next year ahead. So that the amount of grown produce really fits to the demand! Also clearly setting financial goals and then go on from there, like Fortier also says!
    Thanks a lot, looking forward to more videos ;)

We would also like to get out of the system and grow veg, but as you have said, have neglected the critical first step of market research and actually getting the day to day design layout has also been challenging. Back to the drawing board for us! This is exactly what I needed.

    You're a natural at this! I'm really interested in the trees on the farm, I've been wanting to do this for a few years now but I've always heard that they wouldn't work in the system, however, we farm in an extremely hot climate so I would think it would have many benefits. They probably need to be deciduous trees though, right?

    • @TheDutchFarmer
      @TheDutchFarmer  5 років тому +29

      Hi there! Thanks! Yes the trees are a really nice asset to have in the market garden, definitely for the protection in harsh weather conditions, but also for the added increase in diversity and interactions between different systems and wildlife. Having said that, the land we farm on is rented and the trees were already there, so we decided to work our way around them. This layout of trees is not the most practical, and I would personally never plant them in this layout. Instead, I would make tree lanes planted more on a Keyline pattern, following the work of P. A. Yeomans. If that is not possible, I would make blocks (or plots/fields) of a certain amount of beds and in between all the blocks plant hedgerows, trees and a whole bunch of different things. They don't necessary need to be deciduous, but take into consideration the constant shade evergreen trees will cast during different times of the year (which is something you might want - or not). And also take into consideration when designing trees into your system, the height and width they'll have at mature stage! Hope that helps! Thanks for watching👍
