Great video. Ive been watching the agroforestry academy channel too, they focus alot on the eucalyptus but im more familiar with the plants in your list. Im in Sout FL too. What do u think of tilling in biochar over the entire tree beds and also interbed prior to planting?
@@WhatsRipening Oh wow! That is crazy! I don't really have a place to plant it, so I might be putting it in a really big grow bag. I could plant it in the ground but it is all clay, and the mulched part would be constantly moist which I think might lead to root rot.
our Ice cream bean died back but is growing from the root. i plan to chop and drop in the fall. were north of Gainesville. Our main chop and drops are Tithonia, Lemongrass, Comfrey, and hopefully Ice cream bean.
Would you consider the cape/dune sunflower a chop-and-drop plant? I planted it for it's cheerful flowers but was surprised at how quickly it generates tons of green stems and leaves and it reseeds freely too. Another big bonus is that the bunnies don't eat it, unlike practically everything else I've ever planted.
I love all five! Thanks for the video
Awesome video.
Only 90 % of plastic? The other ten percent of plastic can be melted in to the asphalt to fix the roadsike one men is doing.
Awesome video! Very informative :)

Can we get a tour of your mangos trees?
Sure! Stay tuned
@@WhatsRipening I dont have pure sand but ya whats ripening? favorites?
Are your mango trees grafted or just straight from seed?
Really helpful videos btw, thanks;)!
Mine are all grafted
I have a little 1.5ish foot tall goldfinger, how long do you think he is gonna take to fruit? I am in zone 10a too, but in socal
Depends on the food and water it has available. Probably a year away though

Do you eat the ice cream bean a lot? Do you sell them in your boxes? If you do use them, do you use them in a recipe or just eat them straight?
I eat them fresh but I'm told you can also cook the seed part
I haven't sold them before but hopefully soon
Noticed your website has expired...
Yes, it's under construction at the moment
Nice.
Q- did you do any soil mineralization when you started? Just mulch?
Just mulch
@@WhatsRipening- thanks

Yes the inga don't like cold too much. Maybe try enterlobium or sesbania up there

Maybe not a big biomass but a good ground cover/filler. If they can resprout from pruning they would qualify though, yes
Thanks for posting... Any chance you could detail that banana tree support? I've been trying to devise something for awhile!
Sure, good idea!
Awesome video! Now I’m inspired to plant some ingas and bananas for future chop and drop! Keep those videos coming!
Love the videos like always👌 Thanks for the tips
