Күн бұрын

This video is part of an ongoing series - like a vlog - about our project aiming to RESTORE soil fertility in Valle de los Pedroches in Andalusia, Spain.
We are located in a landscape called Dehesa in Spanish. It is like an oak savanna and is said to be very biodiverse. However, much of it has been overgrazed and the yearly drought of 6 months with NO RAIN makes recovery difficult. Many good practices from other climate zones with frequent rainfall DO NOT WORK here and have contributed to the bad situation in the past.
First and foremost we are restoring soil fertility and DO NOT AIM to deliver a product into any market at this time. We are not doing agriculture or ranching in order to produce something and turn a profit. We see PROFITABILITY as an OUTCOME that will emerge ONCE we have restored the land.
Learn more about our project at: www.caimito.eu You might also visit our shop there to support this project.

Some simple guidelines for commenting:
- Questions are far more helpful to other viewers than suggestions
- You are watching past events and we might have solved issues or moved on already
- Most people live in temperate climate zones with ample rainfall and good agricultural practices from there might not apply on our land.
- You are watching us learning and we all want to enjoy the journey and knowledge acquisition. Please refrain from telling us how something has to be done as your situation most certainly is vastly different than ours.
- Understand that culture, rules and regulations vary around the world. Be respectful when speaking about the people you see in the video.

The image@31:01 reminded me that I keep forgetting to mention: HollyHock, Malva (Mallow), Okra, Cotton, & Hibiscus are ALL members of the Mallow family. And at the end of this video, congratulations on all that biomass! PS: as for the dogs losing weight in the Summer, large bodymass increases bodyheat, while thin bodies radiate more.

you could place the water tank some meters high (4 or 5m maybe). That way you just need energy to pump the water up there (with solar energy when its available) and then during night the potential energy of the water would be enough to avoid another pump to distribute it

Irrigation other than drip irrigation requires water pressure and flow. Currently we have 2500 liters/hour and can drive a small number of wobblers with that. It depends on the nozzle size how many. A tank at 5m will not do by far.

We use Senninger Wobblers. They have a flow between 279 liters/hour and up to 1583 liters/hour depending on the nozzle. We use the #6 nozzle which is 279 liters/hour. Our current pump is able to drive 13 of these wobblers but if you divide 2500 by 279 it would be ideal to only have a maximum of 9. That #6 nozzle we use the Miyawaki forest. In the farmyard we use a nozzle with higher flow in order to irrigate for less time. Irrigation beyond a regular garden does require a lot of flow and as a consequence also water pressure. Either you have huge storage tanks or a (deep) well with a lot of flow.
