- This is an introduction video to myself, Mike Garcia and Everoak Farm in Orlando, FL. Follow us as we go through our journey of enhancing our agroecological farm.
Mike, I just discovered your channel. I really enjoying your content. I would like more detail on your bed/tree line widths and path widths throughout your system. Also, I would like more detail on plant spacing and strata. Thank you!
Thank you! I'll defiantly put a video together on this. Once I start prepping the the market garden blocks for Autumn planting and do a heavy pruning and reset, Ill go ahead and talk about that. But every contexts is going to be a little different on on you go about planting out your systems. I have 4 different systems that are all design a little different.
Nice to see you on YT Mike! Love seeing what you got going on. Hope to visit sometime soon :)
Thanks!! I would love to meet up one day soon. I also want to make it down to you and visit one day.
Would you be willing to share the spacing that you used for your cabbage, okra, pepper consortium?
Your farm is absolutely beautiful. Videos like this are priceless for me. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you so much for the kind words and showing interest in our farm.
So the spacing and step I used was the following; I use 30inch bed systems.
Transplanted Cabbage first at 3 rows 14 inch spacing. Then transplanted 2 rows 14 inch spacing of peppers on the outside rows in between the cabbage. Then direct sow Okra seeds down the center 1 row 14 inch spacing, in between the cabbage, I do recommend transplanting the okra, which is what I plan on doing from here on out.
Next season I do have plans on planting a little different. I'll be doing videos in the near future on my planting consortium for the market garden.
@@everoakfarm I really appreciate the response! Thank you so much for the information! I’m looking forward to seeing your future consortiums!
mate i love your farm setup, you have mature structure and a clear end game incorporating all the elements I've been thinking on for a while now. My rows are mature and have been planning chicken tractors into the alleys. Just a tip on the peach orchard (I also grow these low chill varieties, go ahead and install bananas in between each tree spacing and use stems / leaves to feed to peaches. Also I have eucalypts at meter spacings between my bananas and grow dragon fruit on these permanent living poles. This summer also plan to install passionfruit's on the other side of the Eucalypts trunks and wind them up the trunk. Wild passion fruits love climbing up into the high eucalypts. Money just drops out of the branches when they're ripe. Absolutely love your set up. Check out my own you tube channel ''Syntropic Agroforestry in Australia''. Thanks for helping me see some clear pathways forward. Cheers. Adam (Farmer Jones)
Thank you so much! Also thank you so much for the insight on your farm, I'm definitely going to check out your channel. Im getting ready to upload a walk trough video of my plan on taking on the peach orchard here to, defiantly going to be planting bananas in between.
No worries. I think out of all the thousands of syntropic videos I've seen your place has struck the perfect balance of all elements and has proven you can make a living on small acreage. That tricky combination of Syntropics, traditional market gardening and animals. You've nailed it! Keep up the good work!
@@farmerjones2766 Thank you again! It means a lot hearing that from you. I’m hoping to see more market gardens incorporating
SAF into there operation.
Muito bom ! Parabéns pelo belo trabalho.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Beautiful farm. I like your design strategies. I learned a lot from you. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Nice video. I am doing permaculture down town Orlando. I also have a new channel. Your garden looks beautiful. subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful place. You’re doing great work
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Amazing video Mike. Thanks for sharing. Inspiring to see this being done in Central Florida (I’m located in Lutz, FL).
You mentioned that you are growing guavas; what are your favorite varieties for Central Florida?
Thank you! Thats awesome to hear!
So I'm growing Barbie Pink Guava. Are you growing any guavas?
I haven’t gotten into the guava game yet. The Barbie Pink seems like a good variety from what I am reading.
I live close to Pete Kanaris at GreenDreams and it looks like he’s also got Cattley’s, Pineapple, Ruby Supreme, Tikal and a few others. I’ll let you know what he recommends next time I stop by
Thank for sharing ...looking forward to the next video..
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful, have you thought of asparagus as low/medium strata?
I have not, but that sounds like a great idea! That’s something I wouldn’t mind trying out.
Just subscribed, any suggestion where to buy a farm land ( small not comercial) around or outside Orlando? jThank you.
Nope, Im always looking as well. Things are getting pretty pricing here.
I thought that eucalyptus is allelopathic. Is that not true?
Yes, but what I gather is allelopathic if you let it go to seed. Check this video.
