For the trees that are not growing well with roots not breaking the ground theyre in. An idea might be to dig half moon or rectangle shaped pits in front of them (above the slope but in front of the fruit tree) to hold water in there to slowly release. The roots will sense it and break throught the hard soil to get it. Just a thought
If the only difference between the trees that thrive and do not is that the ones that thrive get more water grow, you should prioritize getting water to all trees. Mini-swales that capture rain water and keep it near trees for longer could help
That plant looks more like an Cardo because the artichokes are smaller, from the cardo, you eat the heart of the plant, and from the artichoke you eat the flower buds, I grow both of them in Italy, the flowers are very big and they attract a lot of bees
Try plants with strong taproots that can help break up compaction. Faba beans, black oat, and tillage radish can both help break up compaction and add nitrogen to the soil
Really exciting and encouraging!! thank you Sami, Esther and the whole team in AL for the hard work in such clever ways 😎!! thank you James for documenting it 🤩!!
Where is Sami from?

Thanks for sharing.....
👍
What is that fence ? Don't they jump over the fence ?
If you’re referring to the goats, no they don’t.
@@nehemiahgateway8477 Early in the video we see chickens with a low maybe 1 meter fence. Does it work for chickens ?
Love it!
That is a cardun. Not an artichoke.
Yes, we figured that out soon afterward. When Sam didn’t know exactly what it was he decided to look it up.
