The chicken run at the Greening The Desert Project, Jordan is the “engine of fertility”. Every week it pumps out another cubic meter of compost, and that feeds into the ever-diversifying web of soil life teeming beneath the site’s food forest. This system began by composting any and everything available: kitchen scraps, crop waste, prunings, sheep and goat manure. That was used to feed pioneer plants, which were then composted down to make the soil network more and more complex over time. The “e

Geoff takes us on an informal tour around the Greening The Desert Project, Jordan to see where it stands in 2022. He begins with a shot of the environment outside, a barren and rocky terrain similar to that from which the project took root. Now, walking through the gate at GTD, the desert has grown into lush green. Succulent groundcovers are thriving, even growing out over the pavement. These have lots of gel in the leaves, and the gel resists evaporation, one of the desert strategies. The groun
