5 ha (12.3 acre) Agroforestry project coming to life...

Last summer I completed a 5 hectare (12.3 acres) polyculture orchard design for Catherine Zanev and Adjmal Dulloo from Troyan Cherry LTD. I recently returned to the site to see how it's taking shape and it was wonderful to see the design coming to life with the good work of project manager Petar Mateev and the team. 

Here's some photo's from my visit in spring 2016

.

Some details and illustrations from the design

A standard pear tree settling in well. Each row consists of at least one standard tree for structural diversity. The majority of the fruit trees are semi standards with crowns of approx 4-5 m width and height of 5 - 6 m

A garden in the nearby village of Todorovo was used for a comfrey nursery. We supplied the team with 100's of 4 - 5 cm root cuttings Comfrey 'Bocking 14' cuttings last spring and you can see how well the plants are doing just one year later . These plants are ready for division and with further division eventually 1000's will be planted on the site over coming autumn and next spring

Mixed fruit trees planted 5 m apart are the first plants in. Soft fruits and herbs and nitrogen fixing shrubs will be added over the coming years. Click here for the nitrogen fixing shrubs species selection for this site.

Polyculture orchard on the right, Conventional agriculture on the left

40 Bird boxes and 10 bat boxes were put up on the site in 2015. Habitats are created or preserved, wildlife ponds, rock piles and support species polycultures will be established on the site over the next few months. 

The spacing between rows is 12 m at the moment. The alleys were sown last year with a drought tolerant deep rooted cover crop and will be cut or grazed this year and inter sown with a variety of grasses, including a wild flower strip, next spring.
