Milpa Gardens

Living supports have finite load capacity.

Promising · costly if ignored → warn

How it works

Mechanical load on a living stem.

What to do about it

Put fewer vines on the living support, or use a built support — a cattle panel is effectively unbounded.

How much it matters: Sunflower approx 2 vines/stalk; corn 1-2; cattle panel effectively unbounded.

The evidence

Evidence: settled without a trial - mechanics.
