Part 3/9:
Understanding Nature's Design
To optimize their tiny forests, Schaa studies the natural dynamics of nearby forests. By absorbing the aspects that contribute to their flourishing, he supplements tiny forests with organic matter like straw and chopped hardwood. This approach mimics natural processes, facilitating the development of soil and humus right from the start.
Monitoring growth is an essential component of the project. Using advanced 3D scanning technology, Schaa’s team assesses the health of the plants, with results indicating that their Miyawaki-style forests grow significantly denser and healthier.
