To Do at Tribodar

  • Prune olive trees at Tribodar Terra

    We start pruning our long time abandoned olive trees. We will do a partial heavy pruning, eliminating some big branches of every tree.

    Part of the job will be cleaning up the pruning wood.

  • Make design for the permaculture garden at Tribodar Semente

    To be able to start working in a sensible way, we are starting to design our permaculture garden on the 0.75 ha piece of land at Tribodar Semente.

    We will have a collective design session on 6-7 March, where we will try to define the main...

  • Creating raised beds

    We will start our vegetable garden soon. We will make a raised bed mandala that will be irrigated with drop irrigation.

    To draw the contour lines, we will...
