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

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 ?
Yes with the beans, and we use a slasher to cut the grass

That's all shared and explained on the Syntropia Platform, if you want that level of detail, please join us
Thank you Scott!
Super!
Wonderful ! What variety of corn planted ? Thanks
Florida Zone 10 usda
It's called "Daughter of the Sun"
Why would you need to cut the runners? Wouldn't they be beneficial in most places? Under bananas etc??
They are the planting stock for the crop, so must be cut and then planted
@syntropia_regenerator right, so it's not necessary to stop them growing into the other rows? Just so you have some to use.??
@@riangrant1 that's it

@@colkur5007 this row is for harvesting sweet potato runners, not the tubers
