This flourishing sanctuary is more than just a testament to the couple’s resilience; it is the heart of a remarkable tale of recovery. However, Abdul Razak faced a daunting challenge with degraded soil on the plot; it was layered with clay, peat and water, making it inhospitable for plant growth. “I got goosebumps when I saw the video, and when your hair stands like that, that’s what gets me going,” he said.Motivated by these success stories, as well as insights from permaculture experts like Geoff Lawton and Rhamis Kent, Abdul Razak’s journey took a pivotal turn when he stumbled upon a video featuring the late Prof Dr Akira Miyawaki.
Reflecting on their progress, Abdul Razak said, “It started as an experiment, but the growth was exponential. We even saw our first 18ft tree within 20 months, and we’ve been thriving ever since.” Reflecting on their initial experimentation, he recalls starting with a modest 10ft x 15ft sand pile, once used by his late father for construction repair.
Their space combines traditional elements like stone grinders with modern art pieces, seamlessly blending into the natural backdrop. “Even though the roots don’t connect, they fight for sunlight. Some grow bigger and they connect with each other somehow. We have done projects with just one foot of soil. Forests don’t have to be big. I have seen apartments that grow 50 vegetables on their balconies.
Soil regeneration has also been a game-changer, with Abdul Razak noting that you can spot earthworm castings all over. This remarkable change underscores his belief that food forests hold the key to addressing numerous challenges.
