BRF (bois ramées fragmentés) / RCW (ramial chipped wood) / Astillas de ramas jóvenes

Thanks to our colleagues in Transition and Permaculture Portugal, specially Catherine Roque, we have known the BRF (Bois Rameés Fragmentés) ou RCW (Ramial Chipped Wood).

We find very interesting this technique, wich is usefull not only as mulch and soil generation, but also as water management and water quality improvement.

We want share with you some information about it.
