Small plug but I created a online tool for planning and managing agroforestry systems. Give it a try if you want!

Propagate it all you want, fuck patents! What are they gonna do, check the genetics of each plant you own?

Yeah the thumbnails look a bit clickbaity, but the content is really good.

Great, some stone fruits do not do great here because of curling disease. Also excited for my pears and apples since the last two years the fruits died of because of the drought, but that seems to be resolved this year:)

The minimum distance is 6 meters I think, but it is more in most parts since the tree lines are based on the elevation lines. In this way to paths are bottom of the swales. Great to hear! Where are you located? I'm in the Langhe area. I have two pecan trees next to te start of my water storage tanks with a capacity of 4000 liters, so I'm trying to see how far I could go without too much watering, but I can water them if needed and see how it goes. It is all heavy clay soil, so the swales already do a great job in summer with keeping the humus layer wet.

Sorry what do you mean with 10k? My design is mostly based on the elevation lines of the land, with a fruit or nut tree every 6 meters and bushes and support trees inbetween.

This is my 2 year old 2000 m2 garden with multiple tree lines integrated with swales. Support species are willow, Paulownia, Italian alder, black alder, black locust lupine and scotch bloom. Other trees are for example cherry, pear, asian pear, nectrine, plum, pineapple guave, medlar, loquat, pomegranate, szechuan pepper, black walnut, pecan, almond, hazel. The lower layers consists of blue honeysuckle, blueberry, strawberry, tayberry, gooseberry, seaberry, red current, black current, Japanese wineberry, borage, sunflower, Jerusalem artichoke, yucan, asperge, pumpkin, amaranth and much more. Next to all my fences I grow kiwi, kiwiberry and two types of akebia. The land borders and steeper parts are used to grow grapevines for Barbera wine.

The vegetable garden is fenced because it would be consumed by wild animals. I grow a permanently white clover in my vegetable beds that I cut down short whenever I plant new crops, so they keep the soil moist, fertilized and free of weeds. The only care is watering in summer and cutting the clover around the plants if they overgrow them.

The garden is an experiment with many species in varieties with the plan to learn from the successes and mistakes and use this knowledge to plant around 7 hectares in the future.

Haven't seen that yet. They do produce a lot of biomass that has been a great addition to support smaller plants in the summer heat.
