Land preparation
Hey everyone 👋
I’m noticing there’s a lot of great content on syntropic agroforestry design and succession, but much less on land preparation before planting, especially in Mediterranean contexts.
I’d love some practical input on what you actually do before the first trees go in:
• Is subsoiling always needed? For which soil types, and how do small growers even access one?
• Do you add compost or manure at the start in planting lines?
• Any experience with ash or rock dust early on, or better to let biology do the work?
• Does a single initial plowing ever make sense in compacted Mediterranean soils?
If you had to rank the most important interventions at the beginning, what would they be?
Curious to hear real-world experiences (successes and failures), especially across different Mediterranean soil types.
Thanks! 🌱
