Join Scott from Porvenir Design and Javi at Tierramor for an exploration into an 11 month old Syntropic Agroforestry system in the dry tropics of Costa Rica, and what could be done to improve the system moving forward.

So I’ve been interested in agroforestry systems for going on six months now and I’ve been doing Pirma culture and natural farming for going on three years now and so I decided last week that I was going to start looking for 1 acre to start a agroforestry system in zone 6B and today I was blessed with that Acre to start work immediately. This work honestly wouldn’t of even started if it wouldn’t have been for channels like yours so thank you so much we’re going to make a huge impact here.

Nice! I'm looking to do the same in 6b as well.

This gave me. A lot more hope. I’m on no irrigation and my system is so dry being in Florida. So it’s nice to see. To keep things alive, I sacrificed some banana water suckers and use it as natural irrigation, also kelp or moss around plants holds a lot of water and kinda keeps soil damp

Scott! Good to see him, he was my permaculture teacher many years ago at rancho. Great video! Thanks for sharing all the knowledge!

Whew! Invite us to Bocas to reconnect and plant a syntropic system!

Hoping you can do a video like this on a cold/temperate land.

I saw that you are from Oregon which is where I am (in the Willamette valley) and am hoping you can do a video discussing how you might modify these systems to work here. Spacing, flow, frequency of chop and drop, etc. I've been planning on doing a food forest for years (we were doing a mini version in our yard) and may get the opportunity to have land near Albany in the not too distant future. I'm think syntropic may be the way to go, along with an English style hedgerow to close in the boundaries.

awesome video to see the progress after helping to build the syntropic gardens last year at tierramor.. thanks for the footage.. great to have a follow up video

@charlotteking8123 4 месяца назад

The captions help. Would be great to see more of the plants, and rows, with actual pointing out of the plants/names verbally. Hard to tell what's going on without a visual.

@chaunceymillard2963 4 месяца назад

Great video, good insight, cheers. I wanted to add a lil summary takeaway I got in regards to the off/on contour discussion. Seem it could be a goer to have native clumping grasses on contour (to capture sediment and slow the flow, prob be best with a swale there to capture water too) in between short productive rows off contour (for ease of management) with logs in the pathway in between the rows and certain target or support species in the rows, on contour (to reduce compaction and further slow the flow).

Consider including more wide/long shots in the videos to get a better idea of the overall scope. Thanks

i love you man, thats all i want to say.

@rajdevarapalli4346 4 месяца назад

So much dry matter in a hot tropic region can be a major fire hazard. The dry mulch should not be kept close to the trunk, as a fire can damage the trunk. One should develop a permaculture food forest based on water availability during the dry period so as to raise the moisture near the trees and mulch. Talk dry matter can create tall flames.

hi byron. i'm from the philippines, i will be doing large scale cacao, and coffee syntropic farming. we're hoping to use machines if possible. we are hoping workers would become more technical in skills increasing their capacity of productivity and wage as well.

@paulflute 4 месяца назад

won't off contour rows will always be better when water is a limitation..?

@jameshunt2905 4 месяца назад

Q: Is a sense of plant progression for the purposes of addressing what is intended at each stage assumed to be inherent to the scope of syntropic management? It seems that a number of the considerations and responses to what has been observed and spoken of are potentially addressed with planing with plant succession ,I.e. from grasses through and to trees, in mind and adjusting according to succession principles, yes? I’m very aware that the video here doesn’t discuss the full scope of conversations involved.

@porvenirdesign Месяц назад

Yes, this is how the system is designed and planted. The recovery in the rainy season is giving us a lot of confidence on the process.

@harrybellord1449 4 месяца назад

What about Manicillo as a ground cover nitrogen fixer and fast growing

@porvenirdesign Месяц назад

It is a nice ground cover in more humid environments. Though in the legume family there isn't much evidence that it greatly contributes to nitrogen fixation in the soil (from what I have read). We use it more in edible landscaping style systems.

@harrybellord1449 Месяц назад

@@porvenirdesign ahh ok is there a better suited nitrogen fixing ground cover in Costa Rica ?

@colvardy8691 4 месяца назад

Can you please tell us why you don't work on contour ? especially because it looks dry.

@porvenirdesign Месяц назад

We work both on and off of contour. In this context we are trialing both types of systems to see their pros and cons. So far the off contour is much easier to manage, while in comparison the on countour is providing a better wind buffer as these lines are parallel to the heavy seasonal winds. We need to keep playing with all different contexts to keep learning.

How dry is dry, 1000mm annual rain?

@humanbeingnotahumandoing1 4 месяца назад

As they are in the northwest of Costa Rica they have got about 2000 mm of annual rain, which could be more like a tropical "savannah" climate that has all of its rains concentrated into the rainy season and is basically the only place in costa rica that really has a time period without significant rainfall whereas the more south you go in the country, it is blessed with some rain fall all year round, but with significant more rain in the rainy season (about 3000mm of rain annually). Until you go to the extreme south of the country that basically has rains all year round due to its location so near to the equator (about 4000mm of rain annually)

@paulbaker7489 4 месяца назад

@@humanbeingnotahumandoing1 would dream of having 2000mm annual rainfall in Tolima, Colombia. Surprised it gets so dry with that much rain. The dry season must be 4+ months or no ponds to store the water

@humanbeingnotahumandoing1 4 месяца назад

@@paulbaker7489 yeah I feel you mate, I'm living in southwestern andalucia, Spain and we are lucky if we get 550 mm of rain annually that are concentrated from november to end of april, so we are entering now into the hot and dry summer 🤣 Ps. How much does it rain in your place in mm annually? I was thinking between cali and bogota is a nice humid place for coffee plantations?

@paulbaker7489 4 месяца назад

@@humanbeingnotahumandoing1 coffee is grown at altitude with plenty of rain. In Chicoral it’s about 400masl, super hot and dry (32c every day) and 1200mm of rain.. closer to 800mm with El Niño.
