Many find ducks are highly effective for dealing with cleaning out cabbage worms etc that cause a decent amount of leaf damage though they may not kill the plants it detracts some from being able to sell them to some places. There is also an older style of Japanese chicken that was used in the same way in backyard vegetable gardens for the homes. Ducks seem to be more widely used now and easier to manage. Plus they really don’t focus on plants themselves and want the insects. Plus can provide free manure to the ground and thus less inputs needed. Beautiful what you are creating and showing to the local area. What a much better way of farming and regenerative to the soil. It’s the future and hope you have abundant harvests and make enough funds to support yourself and family. Look forward to following your path and collaborating over time.

Good stuff. Well done 😊

Who do you get your soil tests done through? Yeah…would love to see a soil test video!

Let’s see the soil test 😁😁

Good stuff mate 😊

Hope you do frequent updates on this one!

Mike, great content! I would like to know how wide are you tree lines and how far apart are you spacing your species within those lines? Thank you!

Will the tithonia you cut at soil level grow back?

great video mike! wonderful DIY for nests. i love the food forest kit idea, get it all in one place and plant it dense! i didnt know it was a technique to notch the cassava, thanks for that tip. i do that with gliricidia so it roots from more of its nodes, so it definitely makes sense! didnt know that technique. hows your banana corm weevil pressure out there? glad your teaching to plant them upside down, we had great success when we used to do that. we cant dig deep enough these days to plant them upside down haha!

Great content Mike! Love to see this in action after you explained it at the Florida Permaculture Convergence. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to visit Everoak soon!

Good looking farm bro, love to see it. I am looking to start up my farm soon, keep up the good work it’s very inspiring to me

This was useful. Please consider slowing down the camera movement, moving it as you move your head is dizzying and the viewer can't see what you're showing. Slow pans out or across, stopping at points is much better. What's the point of this? To create support for your center tree? I see in another comment you said that these are 12 feet on center. I'm assuming that there are webs of these nests. Will be interesting to see how much you'll harvest from the various support plants while the tree grows. I wonder whether these will be more difficult to manage than row style agroforestry.

Which country?

What’s the space between the nests and can we plant Mango as a higher strata and citrus as a medium strata in the same nest

Why is a 4 foot radius the sweet spot?

Keep up the good work.

This past growing season I too installed and managed a Not-for-profit market garden project on top of my personal farm. It was super rewarding! Good for you! Keep up the hard and meaningful work!! You are awesome! 💚

I’m enjoying your content and accomplishments, well done! I’m going to be entering my sixth year of marketing farming a no till system in temperate BC zone 7 I’m planing to install some mixed hedgerows into my system. I’m familiar with holistic management, permaculture and the like but feel like I should expand my knowledge of Syntropic farming before moving forward. I bet there are some great patterns and ideas I could learn. What resources are out there -that you like or value - for Syntropic farming and/or temperate examples.

great video bro!

👍🏻

Nice. What zone are you in?

🔥

HI, Mark & ​​team sintropia, appreciate your work and mostly, your contribution to sintropic-agroforesty, (I would love to be there and create with you, I love these projects..). I wish you success in your search for Iconditional Love. Vetiver🍁

Mike are you only installing or will you also be maintaining that project/farm?

Awesome opportunity-what tree species are you planting? Will they be harvested as barefoot plants or left in the garden as windbreak/fruit crop?

I agree, germination of Mombasa seeds is so disappointing. From 50 seeds (i think), only 1 germinated and eventually died.

Like how you are using the strata with your annual vegetables.

Hey there. Do you guys offer site visits? My husband and I have a farm in Grant, Florida. I’d love to meet you guys and bounce some ideas off you.

Mike, your farm is beautiful! I worked in restaurants for over 30 years and love gardening, too. I’m stewarding the property at a Temple near my home, near UCF, it’s slowly growing into a food forest. I would love to work with you on your farm. If you are hiring helpers, please contact me! Thanks and have a blessed day 🙏🏼❤️

What an amazing breakdown of your Nursery. Thanks Mike. Glad I came across your channel. I’m learning so much.

Love the over head Ariel shots.

Hi Mike can you give me your phone number, I’m interested in Mombasa grass I’m in Orlando too

Beautiful 🤩 systems you have going on! That’s what I am doing here in Portugal! It’s very inspiring to see what you have achieved! If you’re going to make more videos I’d be super interested in your management techniques, choice of tools etc. Lots of questions are popping up like. How much hands do you actually have😅? What does it take to run your operation also planning wise, how much help do you get? Where does your extra mulch come from? Anyway great, thumbs up! Looking forward for the follow up on peach trees💪🏽

I’m definitely coming to the fruit sale! So happy i saw your video in time. I would love to walk your syntropic system!

🙌👏👏

Hey Mike, thanks for the vid. This combination of syntropic system for the perennials plus the market garden seems ideal, at least for central and south Florida. Couple of questions. I thought that the advantage of tithonia was its nutrional content. Does the extra biomass of the grasses outweigh the advantage of tithonia as a green manure? Also, it seems that a lot of people growing peaches in Florida have to deal with a lot of fruit loss due to bugs like the circulio. Have you had to manage that at all? Thanks!

Looking good, Mike

I bought 2 mulberry plants at the end of the spring CSA and they are getting big....one is over 5 feet, the other is 4 feet. Beautiful! Looking forward to fall CSA

Mike you are a beacon of light my brother. Keep up the good work!

Nice video. I am doing permaculture down town Orlando. I also have a new channel. Your garden looks beautiful. subscribed.

Mana ternaknya bos sdh banyak rumputya siap panen saya orang kampung di Indonesia peternak pemula,mohon saranya

❤❤❤mantap saya ikut ❤❤❤

❤❤❤

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Gorgeous and inspiring... love the seed bomb mix...wish I lived close enough to join your CSA...I'm there in spirit

I thought that eucalyptus is allelopathic. Is that not true?

looks like summer! lush, green, and full.

Hey Mike, I’m a long time viewer of agroecology and farming videos on RUclips, and great job man. Your stuff is really good, high quality, not too long, perfect. I’ve Subscribed and I’ll be coming back.

Great video,so educative,you could feed these grass cuttings to goats/cattles they make great feed.

This is amazing Mike... I'm trying to do the whole content creation thing too to help share my learnings. Was trying Instagram, but the short form seems limiting, and more admin heavy - I think RUclips is the way to go for me too. Everything is looking so lush - really hoping to achieve a similar result with my tree lines - my system is going to be purely experimental for now, no expectations for production.
