023 - La verdad sobre las fincas autosuficientes

In this episode, I continue making progress on building a farm based on the principles of syntropic agriculture and soil regeneration. The ultimate goal is to create a system capable of producing all the biomass it needs, but the reality is that this process takes time. That's why, this time, I buy four bales of straw to mulch the rows. Although the dream is to achieve a self-sufficient farm, during the first few years it's necessary to rely on some external inputs while the forest matures and begins to generate its own resources. I also continue transplanting plants that I've been caring for in pots on the terrace for months: blueberry, sequoia, rosemary, and violas finally find their permanent place on the farm. I also take advantage of a simple and economical idea: planting lentils bought at the supermarket to cover the spaces between the rows and produce biomass, improving the soil naturally. And to end the day, a friend visits, and I take the opportunity to put the camera aside and enjoy a quiet moment. Because building a forest is also about learning to slow down and enjoy the journey. If you're interested in regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, edible forests, and resilient farm design, join me for another day of work in the field.
