- 🌞 *Summer Walkthrough at Everoak Farm: Crops, Cover Crops, and Syntropic Agroforestry* 🌿
Join us as we walk through Everoak Farm this summer! In this update, we discuss our thriving summer crops, cover crops, and how we're retrofitting our peach orchard into a syntropic agroforestry system. Learn about our sustainable practices and how we're enhancing biodiversity on the farm.

An excellent example of combining, syntropics, chickens, woodchip mulch (back to Even style) bio mass rows (Napier grass), and cover crops. You've worked with all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle very well. You also double planting species in the vegrows In effect getting two bangs for your buck. One bed prep for two or three crops is supreme efficiency and adds to root diversity to soil. Confuses bugs too. I've played with triple planting by basing it on successional harvesting. Asian greens or radish (6-8weeks),followed by caps or beans, (10-12 weeks) followed by eggplant or corn (14 weeks). Use a six point server for radish or Asian, then run your Jang or Earthway seeder over the top for the later stuff. It gets busy but keeps you harvesting for months. Top garden mate, one of the best I've found on the internet. You might want to consider running courses as additional income.
Thank you so much for the feedback and for all the insight!
Yeah, I really love playing with the successional planting and harvesting. This upcoming annual veggie seasons I'll be playing and pushing it pretty hard. Really looking forward it.
As of right now I don't have much time running a course. Im just wanting to share my thoughts and experiences on here (CZcams). I really like the idea to be somewhat open source. I would love to see more people getting into this practice of agriculture. Especially the integrations of market gardening and SAF.
What we do is run a morning course and have the students plant the trees out. They love it. Gets the kids involved. I don't charge a fee but am thankful for the free labour. They're very enthusiastic so I get a a lot planted.
I'm so glad you found Mike - syntropy in action.
