The Tropical Rainforest

One problem with the rainforest areas of the world is too much rain, about 80-200 inches per year.  So to solve the problem of too much water you can plant things on raised beds so that the water will drain off naturally into the trenches. You could also grow thing on trellises so that you get it up off the ground and so that you can maximize your space haveing one plant growing up on a trellis and another growing on the ground. Above this method is demostrated.

An example of raised a raised bed.

More trellising with raised beds.

A Vanilla orchid growing up the side of the tree. And a compost bin be hide the tree.  Another problem with the rainforest's around the world is the slash and burn. Which causes the nutreints to be leached out of the soil and therefore very poor soils. So we would encourage people to slash and mulch in the rainforest. Mulch will help build up the soil and hold the moisture in.
