The experience

Now that the last 4 amazing worldpackers helped us get back on track ( finish farm projects) I m keen to finish building the syntropic food forests
This means a lot of chopping and dropping, building heavy mulch to mimic forest floors in the existing orchards , planting more trees, planting more seeds, watering and building compost
