Managing Our Syntropic System in Mid-Winter...Removing senescence and start growing early!!
Management of our syntropic agroforestry systems is all about timing an volume.
That is, we need to intervene when there will be a response from the system, there is no point in managing when things are not growing.
At the same time, we need to understand how much volume can we reduce when we intervene, if too little, we will need to get back too soon, if too much, the system may stagnate and take a while to fill up - it can actually go backwards!
Management is an art that requires observation, participation and good decision making process that is rooted in sound theory and based in reality.

How to Manage a Syntropic Organism based on Reality: not guruship, textbooks or calendars!!
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 21 dnem
Syntropic Agroforestry systems are, in my understanding, extremely individualised, not only the design and management must suit the human being behind the forest, but its management must be based on its reality and not on textbooks, guruships or calendar. If we learn to observe, listen and trust our agroforests, then we are in good hands to make appropriately timed management decisions. We, as ...
4.5 Months Old Syntropic System - keeping it moving through winter!
zhlédnutí 560Před měsícem
While it seems that the weather is playing tricks with us, we need to keep our syntropic system in growth mode. Although it is not time to open up and excite things, we also cannot let it go flat and stagnant, therefore it was time to prune the tithonia, crotalaria, jack and castor beans. We also cut the hair of the grass, just to stop its seeding process and hopefully encourage it to put on so...

Placenta 1 plants play a vital role in the establishment of our Syntropic systems. They play the pivotal function of rushing off the ground and establishing living conditions after our significant disturbances when preparing the soil and adding amendments. These plants start the metabolisation process of the nutrients we've added, but more importantly, they feed the microbiology that got excite...
3 Months Old Syntropic System - Blooming and Producing!!!

Our Syntropic system has turn 3 months old... Its looking healthy and resilient, all beds are stable and full of life, so much so that we are now moving into a full bloom!! Unfortunately, in Syntropic Agroforestry, not sure if intentionally or not, there is a war on flowers. The reason for that is when plants start their flowering process, their photosynthetic capacity gets reduced significantl...

How to Double Dig a Bed

How to double dig a bed.... DO IT WELL, DO IT ONCE!! That's my moto in everything I do!! When it comes to making a bed for the creation and evolution of a new living (Syntropic) organism (i.e. Agroforestry System), this becomes even more important, as it will dictate the speed of growth and establishment as well as its resilience. As usual, quality is more important than quantity... and look af...

By understanding the dynamic forces behind polarities, it is possible to discover the hidden forces in the natural world and how they are moving, which can help us enormously when choosing the best time to manage our syntropic systems.

In this 5th video of the Fundamental Principles of Syntropic Agroforestry series I present ideas on how we could make decisions in a more living way, (not so conceptually, or scientifically). By utilising our sensorial, cognitive and imaginative capacities together, we are able to perceive how life is moving through time, and hence determine when and how to intervene (manage). In other words, w...

Syntropic Agroforestry Worldview Conceptual Framework
Great work! Have the eucalyptus grown 8m in 2 years? Why do they need to be chopped?
It’s looking great! Very good to follow these video updates with all of the details and your thoughts!
What support role does the casuarina play? Here in Florida they are highly allelopathic.
Same here in Hawaii. We use them as windbreak but literally nothing grows within their vicinity.
Much Blessings brother, it's a pleasure to connect through this very well explained video. Thank you for sharing, it's a big oppurtunity for the people to actually feel syntropic!
Who are these lazy gurus who say you can have success without working all the time??
Watching with joy! Thank you sir!🤙
Great to see your system and how you are interacting with it! It's an absolutely beautiful place where you ended up !! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Portugal
"Create chaos, then organize" That's very wise, thank you! 😁
Great info, mahalo for sharing
my small back yard has been my training grounds and its amazing how productive a small space can be
Managing every month its best, not in everyone posibbilities, pruning the system every 3 months its the very minimum if you take this serious. I would have left the crotalaria keep pushing seeds if I needed them, not a big difference in the whole system IMO. I would have planted as you said it could have been, every species in his straight line, putting 2 species max in the same line, so the speed of management its superior, you could have different lines In the same tree line. Have you thought of using canabbis ? Whats your opinion of physalis as your main product under papayas and leucaennas?
What do you mean by different lines in the same tree line?
@@Artur-d8u lets say tree line its 80cm wide, inside that treeline every 20cm 1 line, so 5 lines with for example 2 species per line every 30-40cm one being light lover (corn, turnips, radishes, lettuce, broadbeans...) and the other shade lover (spanich, chard, cucumber, pepper, pumpkin, betroot...) you have nice to sell and eat and some biomass, if you need to focus on early biomass you need to change the species or just use this species for mainly biomass instead of selling.
@@mena2138 sounds like interesting idea. You coul also plant different tree species in each of these lines. I had a dream once in which I had wide tree lines (about a meter) densely packed with young tall trees. Something like Miyawaki forests but denser and planted in rows. I think this way the trees could grow even faster.
@@Artur-d8u Yeah man, atleast one of those lines should have trees, mainly the center one and maybe in the outer some fast ones. Talking about Miyawaki I planted next to Projecto Caimito you can search him in youtube the biggest miyawaki forest of the mediterranean.
@@mena2138 interesting. I'm also building a farm in andalusia, but on a much smaller scale
Phenomenal
I love the species blend.
I love your unique support species.
Just beautiful work. Thank you so so much for sharing your journey. These videos are priceless to me.
What do you use to cut the grasses in the pathways, strimmer?
Beautiful! Which country?
Beautifully Designed! Where is your site located and what aspect is the slope?
Al volver mis ojos a la naturaleza, me doy cuenta, que con Ella soy abundancia¡¡¡ Gracias hermoso video e inspirador, si pudieran poner letras en español, gracias
This is amazing. Very helpful. Thank you
Interesting comment in the description about the placenta 1 often being done with hungry food crops and leaving the soil bare. In our mediterranean climate we have Borago Officinalis as a placenta 1 that is not so demanding, I'm still looking for others as the current one we have (sunflowers, corn, fava/broad beans...) can struggle in the more challenging conditions.
Animals are always a difficulty! Here in Ghana we are having serious problems with the neighborhood goats and sheep which free range!
Thanks for your video. Very interesting and will look at your other video too. Do you ever go to Thailand?
Since entropy is the tendency towards death, whereas syntropy is the tendency towards life, living systems in order to sustain themselves need to minimize entropy and to maximize syntropy. When entropy is high crises are experienced. When entropy is low crises diminish and wellbeing is experienced. I would argue both are equally relevant and part of our living systems. Death and life are essential for both. I guess it is about balance and everything has to go out of balance to go into balance. Putting value on it might cause some problem as it becomes a human preference.
Nice garden but in my area a large deer herd mows down everything not netted. I can’t eat the deer fast enough, they are like a horde.
Very good, very good. Just from a conceptual elemental / alchemical perspective, on the left board I'd put Soil where you put the Plant and then the plant becomes the fifth transcendent element. That connects more with the tree as being the vertical, layered higher dimensional element that you speak of. Then on the right I'd switch over Earth and Water to make the elemental Mandala 'correct' and I wouldn't put the Human in the centre but the Plant. We benefit from the plant but we are its guardian, as one of your commenters says: we are a guest in the garden. Anyway, it is hard enough to make people consider Syntropic farming so to then also not see ourselves as the centre of the system is perhaps a step too far - but it is ultimately what we are saying here. It is a Synergy, hence Syntropic. A correlative system, not a causative system, that we shape and benefit from but that doesn't revolve around us - we just happen to shape it to optimise it for consumption and management.
Greetings brother ! Im happy I found your creations... Me and my partner have a syntropic farm in south america. Lets change whatsapp number and we could "trade" experience with eachother. Blessings
I would really love to know what the little yellow flower is called. I saw el ricino, Mexican sun flower. But the little one I'm not sure...
ps completely agree on the let them flower until they start making seedpods policy...i think you can perfectly get away with having flowers and still have a vibrant fast growing system. balance yes! but why not leave one plant every so many meters fully go to seeds so you can harvest and plant more systems. This spring we had broadbeans (one meter thick row) against one of our treelines...with the idea to chop it all done...but than we needed the beans...so we left them all the way....but the trees are fine and super happy...yes perhaps they could have been growing even faster but than i would not have had broadbeans Lol.
Yes! surely amazing! a beautifull reward for really hard work i presume :)! super exciting to see how this all moves forward! ...i can imagine that its a big step to start the first official pruning of plants going to seed in this new system. Overhere things are also coming along beautifully in abundance, we are now entering summer..anyway...love to see that mango tree and who knows what else is awakening there in the shade!...do you have a target crop? cash crop in mind or is it gonna be one big eclectic party ?:) wish you all the best and looking forward to see more!
Where is this garden located?
such a beautiful project
Beautiful
Amazing Man!! You are the Byung-Chul Han of the Syntropic Forest. Thank you a lot!
Well done
Dude , you need to introduce yourself!
Well done. I appreciate your focus on the human involvement. After all, we are building these things to our advantage and as such we become stewards if we act responsibly. I like to say " we are guests in our gardens and we should act appropriately "
Thank you for sharing! I'm excited to learn about your journey and very glad that you keep putting out great content. Hugs from Mexico!
awesome 💚💚💚
Great ! I wish you good luck...🎉
This concept of maximizing photothensis is a fascinating topic. Before i began thinking about in terms of multiple plant relationships as in a forest i only thought about in terms of plant nutrition. Maximizing magnesium in a sap test or soil test to ensure the plant is photothensizing for example. This a permaculture food forest system elevated to a new level. Impressive most impressive
Amazing explanation to make it easier. Thank you.
A database of emergent trees and bushes for different climate regions would be a good long-term goal I reckon.
Everything still breaking down, Bro. Is there magic or no?
Wow. Look at that forest!
Do you have experience wit establish forestgarden in the forest. I try now to do on the forest adge. I toped some fagus and fraxinus about 10m high. The trees are about 30cm in diameter. But on the forest adge a have also large fraxinus and quercus first bruntches at 15m. I will live tham alone. But if you leve mature trees in the system do they supress grow ore how to deel with it. If i syncronize all other plants around them can i ignore tham?
Gratidão a Ernest Gotsch, quem sistematizou a Sintropia. ❤❤❤
Love the tree lines 2.5m apart to produce more biomass
Great work!
Another great video thanks! What would u say is an “exotic” plant? Have u had any experience with Singapore Daisy?
A plant not native to your area was what I thought he meant. So if signapore daisy is non native to your region it is exotic
Amazing video thank you! U have a incredible way of teaching! I look forward to learning more from u
