With the help of the Asociación de Piñeros we have successfully planted 1/2 hectare of pineapple - 12,000 plants!
Pineapple "seeds" are actually the crowns of pinapples. These seeds will send out roots in the next few weeks and will produce fruit in a year and a half.
The 1/2 hectare pineapple field has been divided into experimental parcels. The experimental parcels received a constant application of biochar, with decreasing rates of compost.
