How to maintain and produce water on your land

there are some ways to plant water and you need to use these strategies together to optimize the [Music] results I have been working for over 15 years studying ways to not lose water in the soil and more than that to produce water including dry areas restoring areas is one of international AG Foresters missions we plant food Forest around the world and sometimes we come across very challenged situations and if you want to know more follow the channel and turn on the notifications so this is my land but I'm not working much here because uh I don't have time I have uh work with other people to help other people to plant food Forest but I have uh some material here I have this species Tonia uh and I have muling in the soil to cover the soil I have another species here from Agaves so if I I uh come on look here uh when I put the material here look I have water here I have water I have uh microorganisms to work in here to convert this material to create fungus to create a web inside the the the Earth to connect the The Roots connect the roots to one plant help other plants to grow together this this is a plant I think that is uh fruit uh paa I don't remember the name in in English but we put the subtitles here and I didn't plant this paa here but I have other other plants of this paa and here I have conditions to the birds came here to stop here and made with with seeds sorry there is another word better to use in this case poop oh this case manure manure because uh we use in agriculture so manure for the birds okay so I have conditions to make more life here when I organize the the the life when I put a good quantity of Life most life that I puted here started [Music] [Music] [Music] I have food but not much I have conditions to to to plant more for example look here um here I have a corn growing look this corn but it's not the best place to Corn the place good to Corn growing is the place more with more sun more enter of the the the Sun so what I I need to do here I plant many things here this is cotton but I I don't have intentions to to produce cotton here but cotton is a strong species that grow in in degradate areas so now I cut the cotton I put in the cotton and I I organize here cut this cotton organize here when I cut with the the the correctly form the cotton growing again so I take this grass because I not uh for me it's not good the grass growing here it's good the grass growing here I cut this I printing all the grass and use this grass to here because here are uh my my species that uh important to grow together to make uh process are here look when I open the the space to the sun enter and I organize this material it's not only to cut I need to organize here when I cut and organize in this good way here I continue the process why I continue because here I have process look this material cheap wood cheaper I started a process here but one time this this material uh finish the process of the composition so I need more I need continue this process so what the formula I used I used to prunning and organize the material and take the herbs off my my line my beds look now the sun there is conditions to enter off the corn and the corn there is conditions to produce but I told you this is a degradate area but I concentrate here organic material and I concentrate here fertilizer I use I use uh manure here for Cs and put a good quantity of uh wood cheaper and now and I I work in the process of uh change the physical part of the soil to broke the strong part of the soil because uh Now The Roots there's conditions to to to pass this this strong part and grow better I open I open space to the corn grow I take the herbs and grass and now I have I have many other species here look this is moringa Moringa this is L Sena I don't remember the name in English but some species that grow but uh start to produce or make a adult life after that I harvest the the corn here so this is the process the process is one species that produce fast corn and I have pumpkins too and after I have Moringa Lena and many other species that I planted here so now what I need to do organize because uh when I organize I have more facility to look to find my species here because if I enter here and use the machette for example it's not the best tool because I I don't have conditions to see all the the species so first I need to organize with the Tails this the tails to take the herbs off my bed this is my bed to open space to the the sun ENT for the other species and take out the grass because the grass is very important but not here the grass is very important here to grow okay to grow but I can use the grass when I cut for example uh when I cut and I take out with the roots I use here to produce more organic material it's fertilizer the organic material is not fertilizer but the process of the composition here can transform the organic material in fertilizer organic material is conditioner of the soil because create capacity of uh the Water enter here the water infiltration more and the water not lost okay so look this other species very important that I have here the cactus this Cactus is very important to produce water water is planted it's not easy to understand this water is planted why because some people talk me some sometimes that is if I have rain I have conditions to produce but it The Logical is not this The Logical is we can produce rain we can plant it water look this a cactus look this Cactus making Roots it's only a example I cut here look at this what is this what is this is this water is this water and the cactus there is conditions to grow in dry places and the water not go out the water are here and when Cactus growing I cut and I put here to helping to continue the process look the possibilities when I put this here and I put the other here here other piece here and I cover with the other material the water not go out I maintain the the water here and sometimes when started the process of the composition it's not only water that I have here I have fertilizer too okay so it's very important when I take the cactus here I put in because I planted for this I cut and I put here Cactus it's a a good food to the the animals but here I don't have big animals to to eat this but I have small animals here I have microorganisms and microorganisms need food to continue growing create a web inside the soil to connect the the roots of the plants to make a process of sosis here is it possible so now I will show you only this part look this from here because I have a big area here it's not easy to to show you all the the the work here but look this this place and for this come on now I will started the process of management here and you have conditions to see when I finish it only this part can you see the difference of the the material here so we have the the the cover the the material here but when I cut do you see do you can see the quantity of material that I put here when I printing the the cotton for example the other species and I open space to the other plants grow this is the time that other plants grow because now we have rain this land is not green all the time we have a big season big dry season here we have here only 300 to 500 mm of water per year it's better than sha in Texas but in Brazil we have many other places that it's easy to find uh 1,500 mm per year here so we need to understand where we are to work the best form so if I have 300 mm I need to work with the species that have conditions to grow in 300 mm or I need to use the the irrigation I like these species to restore areas and to use in dry places it's a Lena it's a exotic plant here it's a plant that have capacity to grow fast produce a lot of seeds and so for many people it's a problem species because there's a good capacity to dominate areas but if we understand the nature we use these species not only these but all the species that have conditions to dominate areas to help us to rest restore areas what do you think it's better this land or this land this land that you see now it's a land that Lena Dominate and the other land this now it's a land that we don't have species with capacity to cover the soil what do you prefer we need to talk about this but in other video not now I I go to the r of nature I can accelerated I'm in the accumulation system the process is accumulation material organic material to start the decomposition to start the process when I was many process here I have conditions to change the place the ends not came more because uh there is a complexify system here when I have a complexify system the ends that cut trees go out because the ends that that cut the the leaves it's only in the places that we are in accumulation system because then cut and go and put inside the soil to make process but it's not fast I have uh legs bigger than ants so I can make more that ants the ants is very good work very good but I can work more than ants so let's do start to work near to the ants but you my legs that it's bigger than than ants [Music] okay look the difference now here I have trees corn or trees growing corn many trees growing here and have food too look the pumpkin monac pumpkins flour look the quantity of material uh paa uh this is a speci of beans more Moringa I started to create process here so what is the best way to plant water PL in diversity density and if you live in um desert or dry place you need to plant uh plants that accumulate water so if you enjoy this content like this this video share and comment about the your questions and what you think about this because I have many things to explain and if you don't follow me it's the time to start and share with the your friends because if we we grow this channel we have conditions to prepare more class to you about the Agro Forest assistance I study and work with ag forest for 15 years so I have many things to explain to you sometimes my English is not the the best I know that about this but I have intentions to make uh best way to you understand me okay so uh when the time pass yes I improving my English and we grow together okay see you
