What an amazing interpretation @5:50, not that the weeds were a problem, but that they were filling a role/function that was lacking in our system design.

I can see your soil in your rows, your plants aren't going to be feed enough and weeds are going to continue

Where’s the mulch? Gotsch’s consortia are ALWAYS planted densely to maximize energy in the system. The ground is ALWAYS covered to protect it against drying out, against compaction and erosion, as well as returning nutrients to the soil. If I saw this on my own there is no way I would have associated it with syntropic agriculture.

Hi Mate, from Australia. (KZitem: Syntropic Agroforestry in Australia). Just wondering why you didn't mulch with hay and left the soil exposed? cost?

It looks like a much wetter area. Mulch is more important where soil dries out due to evaporation. Mulch has other benefits also, but it looks like there is no comparison between Australia (in much of Australia evaporation vastly exceeds rainfall) and an area where evaporation and rainfall are naturally about balanced.

Hi there, was wondering why I'm seeing a quite a few people using eucalyptus overseas in their systems. Here in Australia most of our bushland is Eucalypt but it is known for allelopathy (releasing biochemicals to hinder other species). So I was wondering why you are using it in your system? Is it a certain species that doesn't have this issue? cheers

they do allelopathy in poor soil only. Same with juglone producing plants

Your system looks great. How to determines spacing for each plant/tree when planting a consortium? Thanks.

It depends entirely on the expected mature size of each species in the planting, as well as the role of the plant in the system. For example, we are not concerned about the mature size of the corn in this system, because we know it is ultimately going to be terminated for green mulch. However, the pecan trees are a productive species that we'll need to accommodate in this area over the long term. Hope this helps!

I notice that a couple of people have asked about the absence of mulch in your system and there have been no answers. Could you explain why you aren't mulching, or why your mulch is not apparent?

How well does the corn perform in rows like that? I never have very good pollenation with this configuration.
