Grow 400 trees in 3 cents of land || Japanese Forest Technique || Miyawaki Forestry

Miyawaki is a technique pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, that helps build dense, native forests. ‘How to Grow 400 trees in 3 cents of land || Japanese Forest Technique || Miyawaki Forestry’ is captured in this video. The approach is supposed to ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster, the resulting plantation is 30 times denser than usual and 100 times more bio-diverse. It involves planting dozens of native species in the same area, and becomes maintenance-free after the first three years. Referring to potential natural vegetation (PNV) (a concept he studied in Germany), he developed, tested and refined a method of ecological engineering today known as the “Miyawaki method“ to restore native forests from seeds of native trees on very degraded soils which were deforested and without humus. Using ecological theories and the results of his experiments, he quickly and successfully restored, sometimes over large areas, protective forests (disaster-prevention, environment-conserva
