- 27. My Mission: 1000ha, 1000 people, 50 countries adopt Permaculture Orchard model
- 28. That's why I am here
- 29. My OBSERVATIONS:
- 30. Nature is well designed
- 31. Nature has stood the test of time
- 32. We can copy nature
- 33. Killing is not the solution (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides 1% vs 99%)
- 34. People demand better and are informed
- 35. Let's return to a model in harmony with nature
- 36. Many examples of the model are being established France, Conservatoire d'Aquitaine Sweeden, Alnarp, Swedish Univ. of Biol. Sciences New Zealand La Pocatière, Qc, ITA La Pocatière +100 private properties or farms
- 37. If a Permaculture Orchard is in your future? You're in the right place
- 38. How is a Permaculture Orchard different?
- 39. By design: Polyculture not monoculture
- 40. By design: Design the solutions into the orchard Solutions last a long time
- 42. Allies do most of the work (fertilize, pest control, mowing)
- 44. INFO vs INPUTS 1X in the life 1X or more per season of the orchard ex. TRIOS
- 45. Different: working with nature
- 47. Different: planted by harvest date multi-species and cultivars/ row
- 48. How Beyond Organic? I was organic, not a functional ecosystem
- 49. I tried to diversify 100 sheep on 5ha
- 50. Large scale monoculture is not a functional ecosystem
- 51. Focus on the positive (what can I DO) not on the negative
- 52. Details of Permaculture Orchard
- 53. TRIO: NAP (1 nitrogen fixer - 2 fruit trees) (1 nitrogen fixer - 1 fruit - 1 nut)
- 54. Each fruit tree is next to a N-fixer
- 55. TRIO: N (n-fixer)-Apple-Pear or Plum Repeated Pattern: N A1 P1, N A2 P2, N A3 P3... A1 = Apple cultivar 1, A2 = Apple cultivar 2, A3 = Apple cultivar 3 P1 = pear (or plum) cultivar 1,...
- 56. Orchard Pattern is not a bad idea MONOCULTURE Orchard pattern IS a bad idea
- 57. N nitrogen fixers we use (Gleditsia triacanthos inermis) Honey locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) Black locust Shrubs: Caragana Seaberry (Hippophae r.) Buffaloberry (Eleagnus commutata) (Eleagnus angustifolia) Russian olive
- 58. Goal: never 2 apple trees touch... In the row and between rows
- 59. DUH!!! Paradigm shift for Fruit Growing industry.
- 60. TREE TRIOS give 60-80%? of positive results
- 61. Layers For Newbies 1 - 2 - 3 (TRIOS - Horizontal) 1 Vertical 2 TRIOS 3 4 (grass) 5 (vine)
- 62. Layer 2 = Shrubs: 1-4/ tree Gooseberry Black and red currant Haskap Aronia Amelanchier Raspberry Rhubarb
- 63. Gooseberry 4 cvs
- 64. Amelanchier (A. alnifolia) 8 cvs?
- 67. Perennials: 16/ tree Perennials (2x8) : Alliums Herbs Perennial vegetables
- 68. Vines climb on N-fixers only 1 vine/ tree Grape Kiwi
- 69. How many plants for 1 acre?(.4ha) 450 trees minimum 450 shrubs 16 x 450 = 7,200 perennials + ground-cover vines = 150 Total = minimum of 8,250 plants
- 70. Just Do It Start a nursery
- 71. Just Do It Start a nursery: 70’x 30’= 1000 trees (23m x 9m)
- 73. 73 Month = 3 x 10 day HARVEST
- 74. 3 + HARVEST periods/ year
- 75. July Small Fruit, Herbs, Flowers…
- 77. Raising poultry on grass in the aisles
- 80. Advantages of Permaculture Orchard
- 81. Something is REALLY working ● Trees blooming from early May to end of June, 60 days. ● VS 10 days (apple)
- 82. From 4 to 23 hives in 1 week Abundance of Pollination
- 83. No fertilizers since 2007 ● Very good growth and fruiting
- 87. Advantage: Easy, Logical to Harvest
- 88. Advantage: More Wildlife More FUN to work in.
- 89. Advantage: Impulse Buying (Marketing U-Pick… Tomorrow at 3) More FUN to work in.
- 91. Permaculture Orchard Looks, smells, feels more like a forest. = Disadvantage
- 95. Steep LEARNING CURVE Orcharding Pruning and Training Animal Husbandry Soil biology Irrigation U-pick marketing Direct marketing Systems Design
