Great to see the pics showing the chop and drop of the cacti. I heard that they started planting them en masse in Morocco.. hopefully they can get support to ramp this up massively to hold back the desert.. and everyone else that could benefit is paying attention!!

Great work! I dream of doing this one day :) I have never been to a tropical climate but seems like the best places to regenerate land back to health.. so much growth! I heard about you via Grassroots Economics and found this video - I'm proud of what you have been able to do in just 3 years and look forward to seeing your progress. I hope to make a similar path for myself in the future.

Add straw and other compostable material in with the manure and it will be even more effective. The biochar is like a bunch of mini super sponges that absorb all the nutrients u inoculate them with and then allow them to be released slowly overtime instead of being zapped right out of the soil and the porous structure of it also makes a good home for microbial/fungal life that is beneficial to soil. The more organic matter it has to absorb from the better. Biochar is a great tool for enriching your soil. Have you guys seen a big difference yet since using it? Also do you use any water retention methods in your area such as the half moon shaped swales they are using up by the sahara? Slowing the movement of water can really help with water retention in arid climates

I've heard people talk about these, I wonder if they could be grown in a temperate climate, at least as an annual. We do get frost but we also have very long, hot, dry summers, frost-free for 8 months (nearly ten this year!), and quite poor soil. I have heard people say that will come back, or possibly regrow from dropped seed, maybe I will try, though too late to plant this year I guess.

@rolandvanreenenforestfarmer 8 ай бұрын
I will upload a video today in which you get an idea of how the garden looked like before I started. It was just completely bare soil where nothing wanted to grow besides some grasses in the rainy season. Those trees you see are from irrigated gardens from neighbors and most of them die immediately when planted outside in the country. I guess you have never been to Curacao ?
