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.

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.

Try a sycamore tree. They are fast growing. Maybe a good test in an irrigated area.

Would you mind contributing to www.succession-planner.com with details? That's a tool I am also working on

Did you calibrate your sensors? Do you know if the soil as different deep that may explain the discrepency in moisture level? Planning to earn money with tree not planted, i like your optimism I'm little surprised by your fondations for the water reservoir, hope it will be sturdy enough. We didn't see any iron framework nor meshing.

Relative humidity is a tricky thing to get started as it appears. The calibration happens by learning what 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and so means in our context. The values trigger irrigation which is currently not fully automated but requires us to go there and see and then move levers. That teaches us / calibrates us to the meaning of the values. Throwing water at sandy soil will show a high reading and an hour later it might be low. You do know why. You earn money when you sell - not a day before. But you can plan and make arrangements in order to create a product. We have 10-12 years to either fail or succeed. So we try to create good conditions for success.
