    Syntropic agriculture certainly has become popular in Australia. A year ago I never heard the term, now its used a lot. Our local council funded a 2 day workshop recently but it was 2 Sundays in a row & I was unable to attend.

    @LaurieLovesLearning thank you for sharing. I have never heard the term, but the idea is very familiar. It is like green mulching. This is what I do to protect plants from drying out.

    I had never heard of it either. There are so many different growing methods floating around: no-till, less-till, raised beds, square foot, organic, beyond organic, regenerative...after a while it is hard to keep track. :-)

    @VermontCathy I'd never heard of the fancy term either, but "chop & drop" has been around for a long time. Maybe the term makes doing this seem more more sophisticated to those new to gardening that have never had anything to do with gardening before. 🤷‍♀️
