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.

All progress is progress. Your land is clearly healing.

from Canada, you have established a foot-hold on and in the land. a very good accomplishment. I have been waiting for such a nice green shade in the soil. a lot of hard work to be replaced be computer aided valve positioning and watch it grow into the Eden you want........you are to be commended on your ventures.

Regarding higher throwing wobblers: the wind will also have more influence on the dispersion pattern….

Do not panic about the water system. Every day the myawaki forest grows, there ist more shade on the ground. That means less evaporation. Would be interesting how single plants develop. Are they growing? Former pictures and present pictures?

Would it be practical or worthwhile to build large water storage containers some distance above ground level? The water pumps could be used to pump water all day from the reservoir to the containers, and then you could use gravity to water the crops or trees using drip irrigation. That way, you could make full use of the solar power available to you during the day to get water from the reservoir, and you could water the plants at night without the need for electricity when there would be less wastage through vaporisation and evaporation. Just a thought.

Lost Sudan grass maybe at the grey pond?

I believe more (and bigger) frogs is a very good sign, I think they’re indicator species? It seems you are doing something right 😊

In your gray water pond. The plant on right is Bull Rush. Plant on left is young Cattail. Cattail is a good nitrogen remover for gray water systems.

From experience with thin power cables in wooded areas: they become an ever increasing nightmare to maintain on longer timescales due to root action.

Larger wobler won't help you to get more water on the floor as it is the pump that will restict the water quantity. Maybe less installations but sadly same surface.
