We created an AF system in 2021. It consists of a total of approx. 600 m of tree strips between the vegetable crops. North-south orientation. Approx. 800 poplars and willows as biomass trees. 75 standard fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, cherry), 75 shrubs (oil willow, elderberry, berry fruit) and herbs.

The tree strips are 5 m wide in total and are cultivated with annual flower mixtures and rye grass during the growing season.
