Nice biomass. I don't have such privilege, just started work on desert area with winter frosts. Hope to see and use mulch from my trees. My main idea is to shred everything what I can find to minimize the time to decompose.
There's upsides and downsides to each biome. We have to consistently prune our trees and manage vegetation to keep everyone happy, otherwise the strong beasts will over power the more delicate species. Sometimes I wish things grew more slowly! For the desert its probably worth shredding materials for faster decomposition to cycle the nutrients. I used a flail mower for a while and it was incredible. Could probably shred cactus to get good wet material to feed the other species. I love the desert, I think if I wasn't here, I'd want to be farming in the desert haha. Such different ecosystems. I've seen some incredible desert syntropic systems, but I think they were in Mexico and Brazil, so I think those were frost free climates. But that could be an interesting spot to gain some more insights. I think I saw that on instagram
@@tropicagroforestryspencerjulie I've found during the first growing season after drilling a well that pumpkins and melons can thrive in my high desert, they are strong and quick. So, I think I can produce a lot of biomass from it, maybe even sell something as a produce but not sure I have time for that. I already collected tons of seeds and ready to plant next spring. Also I use straw bales and buried wood to mimic hugul kultur adopted for the desert. Of course I have trees but it's a long term.
