How La Junquera uses Keyline Design for water retention | Climate-smart farming | Climate Farm Demo

[@smeargut1809]

For those mentioning tilling is not regenerative she's following a "keyline Plan" which includes incremental tillage of 3x per year starting at a shallow depth and increasing the depth of tillage as soil structure improves, the whole point of tilling this way as part of a keyline plan is to aerate the soil and allow water to penetrate dipper hence which is why you incrementally till the soil deeper and deeper as to allow the soil to develop until it can handle a deeper till in hand with tilling along the contour as well so rain water can be caught in the mini furrows created from tilling and dispersed evenly along the land, her English is good but to explain The Keyline Plan is not very easy even to the most experienced farmers. RIP P.A Yeomans

tillage is for weeds dog. don't get confused.

[@AllSectorsHearThis]

Do you plant in guilds?

[@Birikapermacultura]

Don't till, and use the money of ⛽️ to buy cover crop. You need to convince the owner to test it in some areas. Good luck and nice job 🎉🎉

Bonjour, c'est une méthode très bonne pour pallier aux problèmes de productivité du à l'évolution climatique. je la pratique sur mes champs d'oliviers en sec dans le sud de la France ( Perpignan ) avec de très remarquables résultats depuis plus de 15 ans . ici, il pleut au même niveau que dans le Sahara et quand il pleut , c'est avec violence la plus part du temps. C'est automne 300 mm en 1h30 : pas de ruissellement hors parcelles terrain praticable rapidement grâce au couvert végétal félicitation pour expliquer ce qui est réellement opportun

@joanrosello7678 avec grand plaisir, je ne suis pas assez performant en l'écriture

best not to do any tillage between tree rows, leave it for a grazing strip.

[@halnelson5936]

Try do diversify the species and the ages of the trees ones next to other or at least one line with other and let some dead wood on the ground

[@estebancorral5151]

The have no deadwood just laying around. The landscape has been eroded for years.

[@halnelson5936]

@estebancorral5151 they have plenty of trees, sure they're pruning them and can grow other species for biomass

For your information :MOD Ludivine Dedonder vult aan: “We zullen de opleiding van Oekraïense F16-piloten voortzetten in Portugal, waar België een leidende rol zal nemen.” Belgium will continue the formation of F 16 pilots in Portugal . Belgium will take the lead roll in preparing Ukrainian F 16 pilots and technicians

I applaud her efforts, but Im a little confused about how she would configure her entire property to SAVE WATER, and then plant ALMOND TREES (which are the most water intensive plants in cultivation). She is collecting Spanish water, for inefficient trees, for CHINESE export market. Still, I wish her the best of luck.

[@soniaelena3996]

Why do you till? It is not a regenerative practice.

[@anderssryanssons]

Yep, you completely lost me there, sorry you lost it there, does not make any sense! Or maybe you wanna explain why you do it? Especially your system needs to be resilient to drought, and work even in those extreme conditions. Not good enough for me sorry! And cover crops don’t make that much difference if you crush everything 3 times a year! Bring some animals, maybe chop and drop it. But not that!!

[@estebancorral5151]

La penas son múltiples. Primero este video está hablado en inglés no en español. Los españoles merecen oír el cuento de sus propias negligencias en su propia idioma. Lo que enseña aquí son una pobre selección y carece de biodiversidad. Hay mucho para trastornar remedio.

I pay complete attention to dude say I don't. There is no need to till none. Planting different fruit or nut trees is fine as long as total diversity is left under the trees mainly weeds & grasses. Goats beard harbours pollinating wasps as example. California does the same thing they kill any single weed that crops up as they fear it takes irrigation water, it is the opposite they preserve evaporation. Diverse cover crops along with native grasses & leaf fall & chop & drop & regeneratively pastured livestock under canopy along with all native animals, insects, birds. Then you have a functioning ecosystem & swaling here would be much better. If seeds fall on hot rocks they don't sprout but in what I just described they will. All kinds & grouse will come & deer & hogs & these can be food for locals. Then you make hives & have pork & deer with honey & drink nettle beer & honey meade to wash it all down. I am 66 & if I don't know now I likely never will.

[@Tossdart]

Just monoculture. A bit imoroved but not much. Still never learned plants around trees keeps water in not takes it away.

[@estebancorral5151]

You don’t pay attention. Clara Bosch, clearly stated that they have grape, almond, and aromatics. This is a polyculture. However, I agree that La Junquera requires more diversity.

[@halnelson5936]

@estebancorral5151 yes but it seem not there is a lot of mixing or at least contact between the different cultures

[@scottcook1586]

mono culture is not the way to go.
