It's great that people are gaining experience with these systems. Since each place and cultivator are different, we are all on our pathway of learning. One of my lessons is to avoid invasive plants for mulch creation since they spread uncontrollably throughout the environment and our gardens. Pigeon pea, lemon grass, cover crops, perennial peanut ground cover, bananas, and NF trees provide more than enough chop and drop and living mulch while not being invasive.

There is a method you could try where you can splice the root ball of a grandma banana plant and you could get 20-50 suckers from one plant. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the method but I’m sure you can find the video I saw.

Thank you. Someone willing to expose their own mistakes so you can avoid making them is someone worth learning from. You've earned yourself one more subscriber. 👍

But do you have corm weevils?

Y No real need for lax Ck of food or beauty anywhere. Choices

I'm new to all this, and thanks for the warning, I get what you are saying. Observation and experience are paramount. I love "sciencing" things but I also know enough about mathematics and chaos theory to know for a fact that for some tasks well informed human intuition is still our most effective tool.

Not my cup of tea but thanks for sharing some useful information

Epic Scott..

Nice to see you again Scott. what was the attachment on the tractor to cut the grass please ? re the beans youre cutting them back after harvest ?

its all about selling course to make money as these fantasies syntropic practices ain't profitable. Pray on free internship labour and sell courses of rosy dreams to generate any income to sustain yourself. Really pathetic practice.

Is it going there already.. that's what l didn't like about many permies, cultish crap.. and before l get burned at the stake by permies, l did my PDC alright, calm down, make some tea from your herbspiral ok 🤣🤣

I like the thought process you explain while showing the videos. Everyone has to think on their own while working on their land.

I would plant the cassava in the centre mound...and the sweet potato on both flatter edges of the mound about 1m out. Sweet potoato will be ready for havest within a couple of months whereas cassava is more than 6 months...this gives a chance for you to mechanically harvest the sweet potato while mounding the the soil back onto the cassava to get a bigger harvest of cassava.

Super!

TOO RIGHT MATE! So many armchair gardeners that have way too much to say

Shouldn’t have given any to start with.

They are all so narrow minded and not willing enough to experiment and learn. They are jealous and blame their failure on others. Keep going Scott!

results is what counts. good job!

It's not the critic who counts mate, you're the man in the arena. Keep doing what you're doing, which is providing far more value than all the talking heads.

Farmers keep planting coz the world keeps growing

NGL i needed this video, thanks mate

We grow tomatoes all year round in QLD and in amongst Cassava . Never considered it a big deal. Have heaps of other stuff growing in amongst also. But we don’t do it to make money at this stage.

Thank you for your detailed experimenting and sharing it semi-freely!

Thank you Scott!

Why would you need to cut the runners? Wouldn't they be beneficial in most places? Under bananas etc??

Thanks for posting this, my fist impression is it looks like a nightmare, the hand labour required to keep all these plants in balance. I like the conept of what you are doing . If you could post up dates throughout season to show how all these plants work together and show whats worked and what you would do differently next time. Thanks Simon

Wonderful ! What variety of corn planted ? Thanks Florida Zone 10 usda

So rock phosphate (natural slow release phosphate source) is allowed? Doesn't it bother the the mycorrhizae innoculation?

we dont spread compost because we are regenerative... then goes on to spray fish and kelp solution- WTF?!

Do you plant north to south or east to west please

Hi Scott I found that when we coppice brigalow (remove all the canopy) leaving the trunk of the regrowth that the tree neither send up root suckers nor does it regrow!

Wow, gotta say im a fan of you, do you space there for physalis and papaya?

🇧🇩👍

Biomass is the key as I've learnt so far watching your videos, awesome

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Is there any sort of value to really healthy old growth trees or should you always Pollard/coppice them? I have some absolutely beautiful old growth (maybe 200 years plus old) spotted gums on my property where I'm going to be planting and I am really having a hard time convincing myself I need to cut them 😂

It always amazes me how quick people are to hate on acacia species. They are so important and valuable. Thanks for busting this myth :)

Do you plant pigeon pea direct?

But ... Do you have corm weevils? 😅

What’s next after the bananas? How long will the bananas be the main crop for?

I am curious about mombassa moving in after napier. Is it a higher succession grass? We have both

Currently doing a pdc and really drawn to syntropic. I fully appreciate this video. Thank you!

Thanks Scott, really informative video mate, I'm going to try the pigeon peas and see how they go between my little banana patch to build up that biomass and get me a couple of rows going, I grow my own veges but this syntropic way of gardening has me on the hook, you just don't know what you don't know, everything will happen, all in good time

Is there an issue with introducing non native species?

Whats the setup cost for a system like this?

When do you go from a single strata accumulation phase into the traditional multi strata system?

But are we not missing out on the eucalyptus as a waterpump for the system? Could you just protect them better with bio mass on each side of the main line and then get the benifits? Would be interesting to see pigeon pea on either side of the main line as biomass for the following placenta in the main row. Or this is getting weird but maybe 2 rows close together but room to manage and plant them with each following placenta/semi placenta and alternate through sucsession?

What zone are you there?

Acacia maidenii haha could sell that for a bit to the right people

Fantastic video!! This was very helpful as I’m in zone 6B flat grasslands of Oklahoma I’ve had several ideas but you really opened them up to a new understanding. It’s difficult to find similar climate that are in my language. Your videos are great and very helpful!
