Scott Hall is the real deal. A great inovator with heaps of managemet experience for comercial syntropy production. I recommend his course!

Thank you for that information I had only just recently been introduced to this form or growing , and I like the way it works, I have been managing my land I a way that I mow know has some of these elements, I use the grass from the field to mulch the vegetable and fruit trees to add biomass and nutrition I have been doing this for several years and it makes importing of compost and fertility unnecessary, useing cycles of growth and decay in a continuous loop, I also don't grow mono cropped but by allowing a mix of plants , my method is less scientific and more intuitive, but I suspect I have been on the same path for 30 odd years without knowing it was a known method

My first time hearing of Syntropic farming, very interesting way of using the grass biomass to prepare the ground too. Great video.

Thanks for the video really interesting, I’ll utilise our grasses more in our swale/tree growing systems thank you.

"quite tuggy?" Where'djahalllearnta talk? (love it...) Perfect description; the grass strands tend to adhere to each other....ground armor!

Nice project, did you check your soil compaction? You're driving all time the heavy equipment through your pastures , what creates immense soil compaction. I'm just wondering

Good stuff. For this kind of approach you need a "sacrificial" field that you can mow regularly and that as a result will never progress in the succession. I have met with this problem - the more wild I let my land get, the more loath I am to cut the grasses, clovers and later succession growth as I don't want this big area of my land just being mowed constantly. What's the long-term plan, is this just while the system is getting established, before the support species start providing biomass? Maybe you covered it in the video, I still have a little way to go.

I imagine the long term plan would be to graze with animals. Once the lines are established, they dont need grass anymore.

I cut grass and weeds before they go to seed layer it on garden then leaves leaf mold and worm castings then wood chips on top of that and repeat every year

You just know and can tell when somebody's doing something that's right or that works.

Thanks for the video. What do you call the windrow making/rake tool at 1:31? My searching hasn't turned up a design like that.

1:31 is a hay rake

It's called a "side-delivery-rake" or more commonly just called a "wheel rake." If you want 'old-timers' to understand. Specify "p.t.o.-driven wheel rake" because there's a type that just uses ground-contact action to power the rake's "wheels." The p.t.o. rake will advance at any speed desired or necessary. It's an invaluable tool for collecting herbage of (most) any sort, but especially cut grasses.
