Celebrate Waste: Food Forest: a pioneer plant

[NerdFangs]

why not have a few animals grazing that meadow? more fertilizer!

Good question! There are more reasons than I can describe here. Most important is our dedication to the support of fecundity and diversity. The meadow is only 1/4 acre. Livestock would have the reverse effect (for several reasons). The area is now terraced with 60 cubic yards of mushroom compost ("Black Gold") and seeded in cover crops and fruit trees. Also, fencing would limit wildlife access and be expensive if we don't use the stock for meat and milk. We're in town and it is illegal.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Great to see new videos up and running! You're looking well!

Thanks for the compliments. We've been busy in the Earth, no time for videos. But my back gave out so I'm trying to catch up -- but there must be a dozen videos I have in mind.

Good to see you progressing with the Sandgarden!

I put this one on my extensive permaculture playlist.

Thanks!

Thank you for the nice comment. We're moving like crazy and there must be a dozen videos I have in mind.

With hands in the Earth 12 hrs/day the internet work has been nil. But a sudden bad back has driven me to the office. Expect a bunch more vids soon.
