Hi Jael great job trying out different plants to see what works & what doesn’t. If your land is not even you can create a natural pond by having small French drains that direct water to all meet at the pond for water harvesting for the dry season & you can then add ducks & they are good for your garden & don’t destroy like chickens but add value as keeping pesticides & weeds at bay. ❤all the best

Jael you will have to try and test which grows on your kind of clay ground

Jael, one thing I have learnt over the years as a passionate nature lover is, when ur planting a tree seedling, n u remove all the soil from the roots with water, as in after taking the plastic off, u place it in a bucket or cup of water n all the soil comes off, the roots straighten n when u plant it it really takes a short period of time to blossom compared to the ones planted with compacted roots. U should try it.

Thank you Jael for this video, especially during this rainy season. How sloppy is your land? Have you thought of digging a deep trench along the parcel to drain the water downstream? Are there any experts in the channel to help out? Can she bring soil from somewhere to raise up the entire ground? But also remember that water is a very valuable resource. How else can one harness and exploit this resource without just draining it away to waste?
