    What an excitement seeing Kevin's proud and happy smiling face talking about his creations. Just feeding into each other's knowledge. What a positive feeling. I'm very happy to find your channel. I was born 1974. Never too late to start food forest. Started my journey this year following my dad's footsteps major gardener in Hungary, but regular style not food forest I guess got my green tumb from him. I'm excited to know I still can make my dream come true. Thanks for your educational super informative videos!!!! 👍🏻

    Kevin is the real deal.. I guess lot of people should know about him to get inspired to do what is absolutely and urgently needed.. Syntropic Agroforestry has all the answers for farms of all sizes to live by the farm and also save the planet doing so and we need too many pioneers to spread this idea all around the world.. Thank you Kevin for being there and Thank you Byron for helping me to get to know Kevin's work.. With lots of respect from Trichy, Tamilnadu, India...

    The peach is probably a florida prince, we have them in hawaii and they dont need any chill hours. You can air layer them easily, even small branches. Also btw a super underrated subtropical fruit is garcinia xanthochymus, should fruit well in florida and NZ. Its a sour warhead fruit, kinda similar to tamarind but with a creamy mangosteen texture.

    It's always exciting to see what can be accomplished in a few short years. I'm working with very sandy soils myself and brutal frosts so it's really uplifting to see that I'm not completely insane trying to do this... I just need to be creative and patient

    Fantastic work. I’m doing my own designs. Using swales to hydrate my land. I’m in Gympie Queensland Australia. Subtropical with wet summers and dry winters. Sinking water has been a game changer for my long dry seasons.

    15:09 for us we really had to cover the ground first and then start correct in the biology after years of decimation from local agriculture it took some time before seeds even wanted to germinate outside. Now that we’re in the fall I’m finally having nitrogen fixing plants coming up to the year heavy mulch and composting adding bio char adding natural farming inoculants. But now that we’re starting to see it I have faith that will continue to be able to develop it.

    Just so you know, Black Sapote has natural Canabinoids in it, small concentrations. ✌

    • @Soul_Contract
      @Soul_Contract 6 месяцев назад +2

      You can also activate the endocannabinoid system through exercise and certain natural things like cacao. Echinacea binds to the cannabinoid receptor site and tonifies it. Combined, assists anxiolytic properties. Its nice learning about new sources of shared phytochemicals!
