Fruit trees everywhere—nothing is more miraculous in life Go plant a forest garden If this doesn’t convince you I don’t know what else could In total there were 180 meters of hedge that I didn't have to worry about too much My goal here is to rapidly develop it into an integrated agroforestry system Let's start practicing agroforestry It will quickly become a thriving nursery garden And then suddenly you'll have massive food supplies you don't know what to do with But I'll explain why the best option is truly the best so you can avoid the mistakes I made Biological activity is the key behind unlocking all the nutrients and minerals in your soil This will be the final forest garden update you'll see until next spring I know I said exactly the same thing last year I'll show you the newest forest gardens the oldest ones the best-developed areas and also our future plans Let's go take a look Everything's been developing at a crazy pace lately These are deep-field systems You can see we already have these large trees growing just two and a half years later It's utterly insane and astonishing how fast trees grow here When you apply agroforestry principles the transformation is truly mind-blowing This entire area was once just grass All you see here is just grass Long ago Now it's a diverse chain of woodland gardens But we'll head to the most recently planted area It was planted about five and a half months ago That is the final outcome of a long-term chemical process We have just completed a grand-scale integrated agriculture-forestry initiative We have numerous seeds from Brazil sown into these exceptionally diverse and long rows of trees making this the newest forest garden In fact this latest agroforestry system has been integrated into an area that was previously a cashew orchard Lemons and lime trees are already growing tall And everything is thriving beautifully Young support trees are sprouting around the mature citrus trees And in between them the sen Thus from the edge of this tree canopy to the next orange tree was filled with an enormous diversity of species In agroforestry regeneration we have pioneer tree species during the early succession stage Despite the number of herbaceous plants cut for mulch and soil amendment nitrogen-fixing trees eucalyptus bananas and payas and a variety of long-lived trees in the lower layer The immense diversity of seeds and seedlings And now there are mushrooms to eat in addition to harvesting corn and tomatoes from these systems It's hard to believe how effortless maintenance becomes when you work in harmony with natural processes The crazy thing is how low the maintenance costs are People don 't believe me when I say that I'm not out here all day really It takes far less effort than you might imagine For a spacious area like this these rows of trees stretch about 60 meters long And there are three such rows In total that's 180 meters of tree line which I really don't have to worry about too much My goal here is to rapidly develop it into an integrated agroforestry system where we can produce higher-value successions Papaya bananas kumquats paw and avocado tons of guava oranges lemons and walnuts mulberries and hawthorns Oh Liu peaches thousands of peaches grown from seeds tons of peach slices and peach preserves I brought along large sacks of Brazilian seeds When returning from last year's trip all those seeds were already in the ground as experiments here I don't expect all of them to thrive but I'll nurture the ones that do well Now a few different eucalyptus varieties You can see here we have the ovata or swamp gum and then the one I like best the nitans or white gum This is my favorite type because they grow very straight have plenty of oil in the leaves and generally more leaves than the ovata variety The tree canopy is wider providing more material for cutting and offering better protection against frost Oh look here you can see we’ve got a few new mushrooms popping up we’ll pick them right now Tonight we have edible mushrooms I should've brought the container along This is number two It's truly diverse vast and densely populated It's the largest system I've ever set up here A large number of propagation materials are sourced from the live nursery Specifically from the first batch most of the propagation materials used in this area originate aken from previous planting cycles Therefore begin combining afforestation with reforestation It will quickly transform into a thriving nursery And then suddenly you'll have massive food systems but you don't know what to do about it That's number two It's utterly crazy to look back at the footage before and after this moment The transformation is truly impressive and I can't wait to see how it continues to evolve You can be certain that in the coming years When you return you'll find this forest growing ever more vibrant increasingly resembling a forest three and a half years old and what we're about to see next My heart truly feels happy to witness this I'd always known that seed number 2 had been waiting for life for many years so seeing it thrive at just six months old filled me with excitement A young ecosystem is emerging and undoubtedly it will flourish over time This is the oldest forest I've ever planted here It's been three and a half years and it already feels like a dense jungle It brought me back the feeling of being in Brazil The biggest change this year has occurred in the layer beneath the ground cover vegetation Everything here used to be All the videos you've watched previously up until the recent renovation last spring And now take a look It resembles a vast carpet of vegetation made up of various types of old edible greens Mint Vietnamese coriander Okinawa spinach and Myoga ginger taro These wonderful lower layers all prefer partial shade and don't compete aggressively for harsh sunlight They favor the conditions beneath the tree canopy that the forest currently provides And right here where I'm scraping these are actually pathways made of wooden planks laid down in the spring When we heavily trimmed the surrounding trees we installed these wooden pathways to reduce soil compaction When I guide tours here I only show them this path because I know that continuing to compact the soil Being in the same spot for too long is absolutely not good That's why I often walk along this wooden path to reduce soil compaction And gradually the wood was digested by microbes greatly aiding the well-being of a thriving forest I had eaten mountain paya continuously for many months Since I returned from Brazil Basically the avocado trees I pruned quite severely are growing beautifully Bananas are growing vigorously lemons are cheerful macadamias are at the lower level and the West Indian cherimoya tree is now in bloom My crops have grown tall enough to reach the eaves and the rice fields within just a few years of planting from seed One of the greatest lessons I learned from Brazil In Brazil the standard is 5 meters between tree rows whereas here it's about 3 to 4 meters As time goes by I might continue planting more trees in this lotus cultivation area to create a natural organic flow Not just straight lines as the system evolves but excitement for the future and deep contentment with the garden's current state because I remember three and a half years ago I was here with a group of people and were planting this forest garde but it was just a tiny row of trees amidst the vast sea of grass and now there' s no grass to be seen at all Only the charming young trees and the swift-growing giants bearing fruit abundantly everywhere are the most wondrous things in life Go plant a forest garden If that doesn’t convince you I don’t know what else could possibly persuade you because it’s an incredibly special feeling This forest is life itself so it should be called the Forest of Life not merely a food forest because it holds far more than just food Here there is a wide variety of life beneath the surface—medicinal herbs resources like timber—truly a place beyond imagination No frost seeps in here anymore previously just outside the forest garden you can view photos from the second year Outside the forest garden areas frost will definitely occur if temperatures drop below zero degrees Currently within this forest garden area That no longer happens anymore because the climate has stabilized These evergreen shrubs I won't prune them severely until early spring They’ll help your su stay frost- free and keep everything warm and protected That’s the dynamic mechanism you’ve been looking for It's utterly crazy to think that just a few years ago this entire place was just grass Three years ago I had friends giving birth And they had a child while I had my own spiritual offspring—this forest garden This is way cooler than any three-year-old I'm just kidding but honestly it's astonishing what's happened in just three years Now it's just a layer of beautiful organic material and rich fertile black soil—extremely productive Now let's go to my best area because what just happened wasn't my best not what I like most it was just the oldest one but I'll explain why the best is truly the best and how you can avoid my mistakes Walk this way You can see a row of corn plants growing in the ground and they're nearly as tall as my head I'll tell you why it works best—thanks to the density of tree species not just any trees but it's the density of the supporting trees This is when I truly corrected the mistake I had made during my first year In my first year I hadn't planted enough support plants so when I planted this area I overcompensated And I planted more than I knew I'd need which meant I had the opportunity to harvest early What I originally planted was a support tree to rescue every half meter I'll plant a hardwood tree Chiluxan Tagasate and a eucalyptus tree then another hardwood stilt tree a eucalyptus The hardwood stilt tree helps fix nitrogen Eucalyptus trees live a little longer and both produce organic matter recycle nutrients and help form soil And so the first mistake I made was not planting enough of those plants I planted a few here and there but not in large quantities In the second year I was concerned about frost damage and wanted to protect against it so I planted densely I knew I'd have to cut back early so I started doing just that and as a result the land has improved The trees grew better the ones planted after one year were growing faster due to improved soil conditions Increase the planting density further due to excess organic material When you plant at a density higher than what you know is necessary That gives you the chance to cut and compost frequently rapidly returning organic material to the soil—precisely the purpose The purpose of planting all these support crops is to build organic matter in the soil Hello everyone doing this means planting cover crops I learned so much from Philip and Jana during my time at Nonglong Academy and I thought the feeling was utterly crazy plant eucalyptus trees one meter apart then intersperse hardwood stilt trees every meter but trust me It's performing wonderfully At this stage I've already pruned back about half of the woody sterculia trees removing one tree every other one Another tree has been felled to the ground as organic material So you can see here there are tons of branches and logs and all are enriching our soil with organic matter boosting life within it and helping our plants thrive Access to nutrients Biological activity is the key behind everything unlocking nutrients and the minerals in your soil and thus nurturing the microbial life is the key how to feed the microbes using organic materials especially the plants you grow on-site right on the land and that's why We plant support crops densely here and that's why it works so well—this is why it's the best area If I could offer one piece of advice it would be to plant extra support trees so you're forced to prune them earlier You must begin improving the land conditions This is an update on the temperate system established beginning last winter when we placed cover crops between the tree rows In spring through a course we established a series of diverse lotus beds in the area where vegetation once covered the ground and now we have a diversity of grasses berries and some perennial and long-term plants grown in these paw cultivation beds the target crop here in these temperate cultivation beds is the paw also known as American paya so every half meter I plant a paya tree and eventually this place will become a dense thicket of berry bushes and wild herbs and American paya on the lower level among the rows of grafted fruit trees oilseed trees and support trees we'll keep watching to see where this all leads but so far I am very satisfied with this temperate climate agroforestry regeneration model in this region which includes plums peach plum cherry blossom date Japanese dried grape squid dog whelk lotus seed support plant including willow species eucalyptus trees acia and poplar trees I like the kawa poplar trees the most we also have an abundance of rosemary sage and many types of berries The enormous diversity of that raspberry platter— Vietnamese guava pomegranate mulberry and a host of others— but I can't recall them all right away but these are pretty much the main ones this is the final area that I'll show you and what is about to happen these citrus trees these mandarin trees are truly old and past their prime these trees no longer produce well and they aren't the healthiest here but based on what I know about agroforestry today I believe these trees can thrive ealth and productivity right here on this small plot about two years ago we planted a few eucalyptus trees and some other plants from seeds but at a very low density and very little oversight but it's an occupying system a temporary occupying system because otherwise It's better than nothing being here better than just letting weeds grow when we arrive and take action next season We’ll have plenty of organic material here to work with and soil conditions have also begun to improve even when management is minimal Yet there remains significant disease pressure wasted space and untapped potential given the widespread illness affecting these trees Given what we currently know about how the forest functions we can enhance every aspect of this space This area is the next target to be transformed—watch closely and within about six months you 'll witness a complete rebirth It's truly amazing to look back on this comparison and I'll be able to pull this footage out again in two years when this entire area was a vast production forest we would have seen how much healthier these trees could have become These leaves are so weak and frail—everything will change very soon just like what happened out there Here we practice agroforestry and the trees will gradually grow stronger this area represents the final stretch where everything still drips with weakness and illness life is truly beautiful in the integrated farming and forestry model See you again soon in Costa Rica Florida Brazil That was really crazy I hope you learned something from this video See you
