This video was shot in the early hours of the morning, a few days ago. This is OrtoForesta, an agroforestry market garden in Florence, Italy.
Our journey here started 3 and a half years ago, in February 2023. This was little more than a parking lot full of rubble, derelict polytunnel frames and brambles.
That a place as difficult as this can become a productive ecosystem is a testament to the importance of working …

Whenever something like this comes up, I hear people take very strong positions — often understandable ones, but emotional, and almost always cast the same way: what I think is sen…

Speaking to an audience of non-specialists, Ernst showed how one could plant all the stages of ecological succession from the very start, in a single row holding plants meant to populate the system's various layers (emergent, high, medium, and so on…

Spring, around here, always arrives late and a little reluctantly, and by the time it does it already has one foot in summer. It feels like the right moment to take stock, to set down what the field has taught me — and today I'd like to do that on a subject that has been with me since my very fi…

Tell me that you got everything you want.
There is a huge chunk of poetry that is only accessible on a grey morning, on a diet of Youtube videos and almond butter.
Tell me that you’ve heard every sound there is.
I look around myself and I see decay - powerful, dramatic, soul-crushing. A green light flashes. An answer is in the making, for the question I thought of and couldn’t ho…

This time, I tried a different format, with more interactive moments and a group pruning session to observe the management of an already established system in its various components: fruit trees, shrubs, support trees, and herbaceous plants.

Showing the 10 most recent of 10 posts we hold for @livingsoilgardening. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
