New garden area in the works.

Syntropic agroforestry x KNF

First middle row, foundations laid down,

only starting one side of the mulch line for either side of the trench line, until all cuttings and seeds are ready just after winter,
until then lots of beneficial soil inputs to help in all growing aspects.

Some intensely pungent,
JLF, jadam liquid fertiliser.

Anaerobic form of culturing micro organisms, specific to the biomass used.

1year old so far.

100ml-10litres, soil drench.

Use JLF along with JMS jadam microbial solution for greater microbial production.

Great for speading up compost heaps, preparing new soil for garden beds, revitlizing soil before being used for sowing seeds,
boosts nitrogen levels.

Typical missed photos in the process of the compost bin pile 🫣

The recent Imo3 pile was mixed with equal parts compost (3 months old).

I usually hunt down ant hill soil but not this time as im using compost, instead of the usual 25% ant hill soil and 25% local soil where you intend to plant.

Regardless piled and mixed thoroughly day before & applied to the new garden beds to be today.
