Hello dear friend @oniemaniego, let me tell you that your article is excellent, you share many aspects of interest for truly efficient agricultural production and without getting into debt with the acquisition of synthetic inputs.
Certainly the diversification of crops, will allow to diversify income and will also allow there to be an ecological balance, since it increases biodiversity within the ecosystem, on the other hand, although it sounds very romantic it also beautifies the landscape of the system.
On the other hand, when we associate trees that tend to have deep roots with plants with superficial roots, there is a complement, the roots of the trees make a kind of pumping of elements from the deepest parts of the soil to the surface which favors the accompanying cultivation.
There are many mechanisms that plants have and it is the amazing thing about natural ecosystems, I congratulate you for the excellent work you do, have an excellent week.
Thanks for the response @amestyj!
I'm also taking inspiration from your posts, this permaculture project is limited only to our tiny orchard, but on our other farm, we still need conventional approaches to maintain its profitability—your posts will be a great help, I will share it to my parents as they are the ones managing the farm.
