- Join us on this exciting journey as we explore the progress of our Syntropic Farm over the course of 8 months. In this video, we'll take you on a tour of the farm and show you the incredible transformation that has taken place since we started implementing Syntropic Farming practices.
We'll share our experiences, insights, and lessons learned as we've worked to create a more sustainable and regenerative farm ecosystem. We'll show you the many ways in which Syntropic Farming has allowed us to work with nature to build healthier soil, improve biodiversity, to be able to produce more nutrient-dense crops over time.
Whether you're a farmer or just interested in sustainable agriculture, this video is a must-watch. Join us as we share our journey and celebrate the progress we've made on our Syntropic Farm.

So interesting to see how the waterloving taro grows without any irrigation. Great video Scott!
Love your work, Scott!
Best video yet!
Hey Scott, thanks so much for posting this. I've had some idea as to what this might look like in a very different context, but still mechanized, and your montage here is very valuable. Definitely sharing with my project partners.
I'm sharing this management process with other growers wanting to incorporate grain, which I also aim to do, I'm very interested in the layered yields and how it can improve conditions
Good work, Scott!
I wish I had have stumbled across your videos before I planted out my swales and food forest 5 months ago. 🤦♂️
I could have had much more success.
Thankfully I was intuitively mindful not to put too much productive demanding plant life into the system.
But the succession planning wasn’t as well thought out.
Wow, what a video and information dude, its wild!!!
Excellent demo, long, but worth it
Awesome, look forward to seeing how it progresses
I'll keep sharing
Love your work Scott. I'll join up next year when my context allows.
All good mate, good to have you in the business
Wow! This was such a well thought out video! Thanks for your hard work and sharing your experience & knowledge!
My pleasure
Excellent work! This was profoundly clear and direct .
Thanks for the feedback Nick. Things can get muddled in detail, I'm glad that this provided perspective
Nice work, thanks for sharing, its very helpful, i want to check i understood your system correctly.
So youre in southern hemisphere so october is early mid spring, its the beginning of your raining season? You tilled rows (looks like 3-4m apart) in an existing perennial pasture, each row was sowed with a different annual c4 grass, sorgum, millet etc. system was fertilised once using kelp and fish emulsion. When plants reached to sufficient height, the most of the pasture was cut but some rows of plants remained (which plants and why?). Biomass was organised into rows 13m apart (in the place of the original cover crop rows but not all because there isnt enough mulch) more annual cover crops are direct seeded into the pasture. 2nd cut, everything is cut and added to the 13m rows. After 2 cuts and 4 months, system is planted with consurtiums in the mulched rows.
gratitude from greece!
I am fresh and a beginner. I have been trying to learn for a few years with my banking job.
I realized Syntropic Agroforestry is one of the best methods which I am loving. Now willing to convert my 25 acres of rubber plantation. But it is hard to reach the desired goal. This is a great opportunity to learn by watching your valuable episodes. It would be great if I get your mentorship for preparing a demo plot which help me to implement larger scale. Huge Respect sir
By watching
How could I see more information about your plans?
Rubber is in demand, why would you change?
Hey. Thanks for the video. Do you have issues with voles? Here in austria this thick mulch creates a paradies for them.
Hey Scott great video man, really getting that grass to do the hard work and making agriculture profitable again! What is the spacing you run between the lines? I saw at the beginning something that looked like 4m alternating lines and then the jackfruit lines look like 8m or so.. Did you decide that depending on the equipment you are running for ease of management?
Hey Russell, currently the rows are 13m apart, this is determined by how much biomass the grass can generate, I will keep adding new rows in between as I improve the production of the grasses
How about an update please i am interested to see how the 23/24 wet affected the paddock
Fantastic…. So you cut the cover crop and then mulched it with cut grass to create the growing beds, did I get that right?
That's right
Chinese geese in a goose tractor system would go well here. So would runner ducks. Or pigeons even!
All three of those can last on virtually no imported feed. 100% foraged/grazed diet.
newbie. whats the connection of going to seed and senescence? what's growth pulse and acid release when pruning? edit: oh i see, the website ...
Thxs well worth watching..I didn't see any Cassava..would it not also work as a shade/biomass plant?
Cassava works really well as a support plant, but this year I had very little access to cuttings, but next spring I will plant it like a maniac
Manioc maniac
What make is the side delivery rake? We have a 4 wheel rake which is good but leaves the windrow within the wheel width of the tractor. Once we have an established tree row it’s not possible to use the wheel rake to push the hay onto the row. We would have to use a fixed rake to push it, or do it by hand 😮!
Hi Ray, the rake is a Sperry New Holland
Might be a dumb question but how do you make money? (I expected you to harvest castor oil but I realise it doesn't work like that). Is it all for a jackfruit harvest - how long till that occurs?
G’day mate, where a outs are you. Are there books I can start to learn before I buy a farm and start.
Hi mate, there are no specific books about this, at least until I publish the one I'm writing.
Isnt castor oil super toxic? Thats where ricin comes from. Not sure its even legal to grow in a lot of places. Are there alternatives to this plant that work just as well?
castor is only toxic if you eat it - don't eat it please!
Hey Scott, whats with all the weird whispering voices in the background audio at 54:29
Oh i didnt know there was someone else there i noticed at the end of the video
@@thumperhunts6250 Yeah, it's my son
@@syntropia_regenerator Id like a job in syntropics in the tweed if you know where to look.
@@thumperhunts6250 It's a bit hard to work in agroforestry in a place that you choose. It's in it's early days and work does come up quite a bit but it's like seeking a career in the arts, you have to turn up to events, be at the gatherings, get the education - be seen, become known, have demonstrable skills etc. It is early days and growing, but to be employed you must be known by the community and prepared to travel, a lot of the work is gig style at the moment
Pruning the castor oil sends growth hormones to neighbouring plants?
This logic seems sound but what is the evidence?
Love your videos. So sick of ideological gardeners and the million companion plant guides (saying that i did love the cassava tomato blend) and loving the next level regen ag deep ecology type stuff.
Ever tried growing a legume with it??
Where in qld are you??
arent eucalypt allelopathic
