Ich habe meine Frau endlich zu einem kleinen #Miyawaki Wald im #Garten überzeugen können. Die 36qm, die wir jetzt mal abgesteckt haben, wird keiner von uns vermissen, aber es passen immerhin 108 neue Bäume auf diese Fläche. Jeder kleine Schritt zählt - besonders wenn es viele machen.

@ApaulD Le système d'agriculture syntropique combine la permaculture de Mollison et Holmgren avec les micro-forêts de Miyawaki. En cultivant une diversité de plantes à haute densité, il régénère les sols et optimise l'utilisation de l'eau. 🌱🌍 Adoptons ces méthodes pour un avenir durable ! Ensemble, nous pouvons créer des écosystèmes résilients et productifs. #agriculture #farming #land #water #food #Miyawaki #Mollison #ecology #Holmgren #micro-forêts 🌿

The #MiyawakiMethod: Imagining a #MiniForest’s Potential

An excerpt from #MiniForestRevolution by #HannahLewis.

"Making a Mini-Forest: The Basics

"Rejuvenating the soil is one of the basics of creating a mini-forest on a degraded site.

"In fact, it’s the critical first step—the goal is to simulate the living soil of a healthy, mature forest.

"This happens naturally during the stages of ecological succession, but because the Miyawaki Method skips immediately to the climax stage, some preparation is required to compensate.

"In the absence of a loose soil with plenty of organic matter, trees will struggle to grow properly. In a Miyawaki forest project, the soil is typically recharged by decompacting and amending the site with organic materials.

"Planting Density

"Planting density is another signature of the Miyawaki Method.

"Conventional wisdom says that plants compete for light, water, and soil nutrients; therefore, plants should have lots of space between them to reduce that competition.

"But it’s not how a Miyawaki forest works.

"For a Miyawaki forest, the standard planting density is three plants per square meter. This density helps achieve the goal of ecosystem regeneration.

"After all, in a natural forest, plants are not evenly and widely spaced.

"Dense planting stimulates mutualistic and competitive interactions among the plants and facilitates connections with soil microorganisms. It also promotes virtuous competition for sunlight, hastening upward growth.

"Mulching

"Mulching is a critical component of the Miyawaki Method.

"After planting, the ground is covered with a thick mulch similar to fallen leaves on a forest floor. Indeed, once the young trees have had a chance to mature, they will contribute leaf mulch to the forest floor naturally.

"Mulch protects the bare soil from water loss by evaporation, from erosion, and from temperature extremes. Mulch also suppresses weed growth and eventually decomposes into the soil, enriching it.

"As they become established over the first few years, the plantings typically need occasional watering and weeding, but after three years the young forest patches are developed enough to shade out weeds and shelter the soil.

"They are then generally self-sufficient and need no maintenance of any sort—no pruning, no watering, no fertilizing, no pest control—ever."

I was watching something about the Miyawaki method of forestation (tiny forests that grow rapidly), and I realised I don't actually know how much trees cost. Like 1.5-2m saplings.

BETWEEN £50-£100?!?!?! WTF
I'm guessing there's a discount on bulk orders, but really? I had no idea.

I guess it makes sense, it's a real slow business model. Just... wow.

"The #TinyForests system was developed by Japanese ecologist Akira #Miyawaki. His approach has now spread around the world & involves jumpstarting a mature forest, moving quickly into that later stages of growth, so we get forest within a few decades rather than 100s of years"
