Lesson 2.23 DESIGN - Create with tropical vegetables Part 3

 

Finding the right spot for your tropical plants will determine the individual requirements of these vegetables. Try to find plants that group well together such as yams, New Guinea beans, chilacyote and yam beans can use trees to climb on while the shade from the trees and vines will create enough shade for the mushroom plant, Rungia Klosii. Open spots are great for cassava while taro and cocoyam can tolerate part shade. Remember that no plant likes it too shady as this will kill them off. Your support species are just that, don’t let them overtake your food forest by shading everything out. They need to be constantly chopped and dropped in the growing season so that they perform the job they are required to do; create organic matter and nutrient to the soil so that your food crops will benefit by the extra available nutrient and moisture. 

 

Foot paths can be made by using crusher dust and packing it down on top of the sheet mulching. Depending on the soil and your local climate,  footpaths can be very nebulus as they keep disappearing under the sweet potato or pinto peanut! In a drier climate there will be easier control over your pathways as growth won’t be as rampant. 

 

Add frog ponds wherever you can as the frogs will eat the pests. Baby baths and washing up bowls are excellent for this purpose. 

 

Plants such as Queen Ann’s lace, allysums, buckwheat and other small flowers will attract predator insects that will breed up on these small flowers. The predators are then bred up in numbers to make an impact on other insect pests. Nasturtiums are also beneficial in a food forest. Also design your system so that the chook house is uphill from the gardens so that the runoff rains will flow the extra nutrients into the gardens where it is needed.

   So whichever local climate you live in, you will be able to expand your garden horizons            by implementing plants that support your food crops and therefore constantly improve your       soil life.

Lesson 1.0 INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE

Image
  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY Lesson 1.0  INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE As the world celebrates International Day of Forests on 21st March, one avenue to explore is the role that food forests can play in providing a rich source of nutrition for humans while enhancing biodiversity and nourishing the  soil . Forests are some of the most  productive , biodiverse and self-sustaining ecosystems on earth. Yet, deforestation, an indicator measured by the  Food Sustainability Index , destroys these rich centres of life at a rate of  10 m hectares per year . Driven by demand for monoculture crops such as  soya  (primarily for livestock feed) and  palm oil  (a widely used ingredient in food-processing and cosmetics), deforestation presents a major problem for forest ecosystems. But what if forests and food production could be reconciled in a novel way? Food forests may be the answer. Human-designed  food forests ...
