#30 Late summer Update of our permaculture food forest and harvesting carob

Our first carob harvest and what else we did to improve our mediterranean food forest in Mallorca.

Food is super tasty grilled on carob's wood.

Done well so much Carob harvested 👍🏾

Awesome work so glad you’re showing diverse methods and ways of growing food and making healthy environments. Have enjoyed what you’re sharing. Keep it up. You have our support. Curious if you can apply any syntropic agroforestry methods to your process since you have such lean soils.

Nice Work. Looking forward to see the cat video.

Swales are great.

Carob's known as "Algarrobo" in Spain. In Perú they encountered species of Prosopis that reminded them of Algarrobos so they gave the same name. G. Lawton uses Prosopis in the Jordanian desert. The pods are similar, better than the Mesquite in northern Mexico and USA. The pods make cattle feed, a sweet flour and a sweet dark syrup called "Algarrobina".

Good job on turning Pino into a farmer! (@8:15)

biochar holds plenty of water. The more you make, the less selective you need to be in precisely where you place it!

Great progress. Regarding retaining rainwater in the earth, maybe dig small trenches with a pick-axe or Maddock uphill from the rock barrier. Best regards.

'Grow sorghum to create more biomass. That plant makes loads of biomass in and above the soil. Use the seeds to sell and use the dried plans as mulch. This way the soil keeps more water and there is less erosion.

There is a tree - "Samanea saman"/rain tree. it produce pods that are lemon like flavor and is loved by cows and sheep. Just saying. Annually you could find at least 100 kilos from a single tree that grow upto 30 meter high and 20 meter wide to create shade, Those pods can be stored as feed for dairy cows or lambs. Carob is very slow growing tree, however rain tree grow within couple of years.

Amazing progress Scarlett! I want to plant Carob trees in my backyard! Do you think tree bark/wood chips would help retain moisture in the soil?

[@sonselvapermaculture]

Yes, absolutely! I mulch around all my trees. But luckily carob trees are quite resilient.

Need to plant paulownia trees that felled in empty space

[@andrewk2338]

How much hectares do you have?

[@sonselvapermaculture]

a bit more than 2.

[@mitchellbrown9713]

Hi Scarlett You have not produced a video in a while, I hope everything is okay!

[@sonselvapermaculture]

Hi Mitchell, thank you for your concerns. All is well, I had just a couple of very busy months. Loads of video material but no time to cut! But I'm working on a new video now! 😘

5:45 you need trenches & ditches
