Cavi Colony

Cavi Colony is a regenerative agroforestry and small-livestock system set up on an eighth-acre footprint. Using recycled tires, we are constructing a durable, 4-tier-high perimeter wall around the orchard cavities. The biggest tires are placed securely on the bottom layer for structural stability, and existing perimeter trees are incorporated to prevent unwanted climbing access. The entire wall structure is finished with a 7-foot-high protective mesh barrier around the top to secure the space. Inside this protected perimeter, a fruit orchard thrives alongside modular housing for your livestock colony.

Gloves, Heavy-Duty Shovels & Mattocks: For leveling ground, digging trenches, and stabilizing the foundational tire layer. Level & Measuring Tape: To ensure the 4-tire-high perimeter wall stays even and structurally sound. Utility Knives / Sawzall: Useful for cutting tires if modifying shapes for corners or drainage/planting pockets. Soil & Compost Sifters: For filling the lower tires and planting cavities with rich growing medium for the fruit orchard. Heavy-Duty Fencing Pliers & Wire Cutters: For securing and tensioning the 7-foot-high wire mesh around the perimeter. Post Hole Diggers & T-Posts (or Framing Lumber): To anchor the upper 7-foot mesh barrier securely above the tire wall. Wheelbarrows: For transporting soil, gravel, and mulch efficiently across the quarter-acre plot.
Site Preparation: Clear and level the quarter-acre perimeter, mapping out the layout for the fruit trees and livestock enclosure. Foundation Laying: Position the largest tires on the bottom row, sinking them slightly into leveled ground and packing them with compacted soil or gravel for stability. Wall Construction: Stack the remaining tires up to 4 tiers high, staggering the joints like bricks and filling planting cavities with nutrient-dense soil. Tree & Periphery Integration: Clear and trim side trees along the perimeter to ensure complete security from outside climbers. Orchard Planting: Plant your selected fruit trees directly into the designated cavities and internal zones within the tire wall ecosystem. Mesh Barrier Installation: Erect the 7-foot-high protective mesh around the top of the entire perimeter wall and secure it tightly. System Testing & Stocking: Inspect the entire enclosure for safety, security, and proper drainage before introducing your colony.
