Excellent information! I have a VERY similar situation I'm dealing with on my farm in Ecuador. I planted nursery grown avocados in a pigeon pea and other biomass crop system and all to avocados died from too much water! I'm going to try your system next time I get avocado seeds from our favorite tree... then we'll try grafting when they are big enough.
Thanks for the great explanation again Scott. Did you source that avo seed specifically as a rootstock variety like zutano? Or were you confident/curious enough to pop in regular hass seeds and use them as future rootstock? Cheers
What advice would you have if the target crop is one that can't be grown easily from seed? Or if it could be grown from seed but germination in field conditions is very low and sporadic?
Spot on! And nothing can beat a direct seeded root systems either.

very interesting
Very informative
Awesome stuff man!
Was pruning trees with a chainsaw today, kept thinking about syntropic principles. Hope it becomes a more common system soon!

I put anything and everything in and let nature select

Try putting the seed in a clay seed ball
@@syntropia_regenerator Thanks 🙂
Use more seed in the rows, plant as rainy season starts, and pre-soak them
Wow, I thought blueberries were temperamental and do only in boggy acidic conditions... What is your technique to get them going on a row like that?
could it work putting the seedling 1 or 2 years later in the system knowing that seeds are gonna be very hard to sprout?
Yes
Do you plant pigeon pea direct?
@@suzclarke yes
How do you deal with the wildlife eating your crops? Here in the blie mountains i have issues with possums or wallabies eating everything i plant
If plants are put in a place they don't belong to in species succession, they will be moved out by pests
