Ghandi was just an elite puppet from an elite family formed from a tender age for his role on the world stage and involved in all kinds of social engineering projects. In South-Africa during the early 1900s he was actually VERY INVOLVED in getting support for drafting the relatively large Indian population for the war effort.
If society calls someone a saint, rest assured he's not. I would have prefered seeing a beautiful garden and be spared the mention of all these fake inspirators.
How is fertility built up in one area via continuous mulching without depleting another area of it's minerals through harvesting of its plants for mulch?
@djohnson1987 the mulch comes from and goes to the same area. Plants draw in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen while holding and storing carbon compounds and some of them are specialised in trapping nitrogen such as legumes family. These carbon and nitrogen materials are transformed to fertility. This is what i think is part of the complex cycle of the whole ecosystem. For a barren or non-fertile area it might be necessary to bring in the fertility from other places.
When was this video made? Is Mr. Hart still with us? Who will keep this going? I have several friends including myself who are interested in this type of project. I would be devastated to see a project like this be left to ruin.
@dharmapunk777 Unfortunately Robert Hart is now deceased, and his original forest garden was shamefully left to run to ruin and became an overgrown jungle! There was a move to restore it to it's former state but I'm not sure whether it came to anything... It is a shame as this site should be kept as a model for forest gardening for future generations!
Mulch is a soil saviour whatever your climatic zone, from the tropics to cool temperate, it works everywhere to reduce evaporation and build soil quality. There are no natural areas except for deserts that don't have a covering of organic matter and even they can be turned green by the use of it.
@permascience It is so ridiculous the USDOF policy of removing forest brush to prevent fires... they are ruining forests in long term. And even the common policy of mowing a lawn and throwing the clippings and fallen leaves in a dump is insane...
That's what I'd like to do. I've read some on companion planting, but he takes it so much further in a good way. THe only thing I think wouldn't work here is the mulch for a dry/warm winter and cool/wet summer! Not here in Ky anyways!! Any suggestions for a change on that?
@gusterson observe what happens in unused farmland reverting back to nature and natural woods in your area if you can. you will almost certainly find some sort of mulching going on (dead leaves, grasses, etc.) see what happens to this over the course of a year and then go from there. you may be surprised how much mulch actually is going on there, although it may decompose in cycles different from those in england or other places. learning the observation of local nature is always key. :-)
Wonderful.. Thanks for the ideas..
