RE: Feed Production on the Synchronistic Subsistence Homestead
Very well said! You covered pretty much everything. I would also add that some of these can be used as cover crops to help improve your soil as well. We plan to grow clover and alfalfa, cut the tops off to feed to rabbits and leave the rest to decompose and hopefully improve the soil. Obviously it would be better to let the whole plant decompose but every little bit!
Thank you for the Resteem! I like the cover cropping Idea! Definitely something is better than nothing in the soil! Not to mention, you might be able to take a cutting, let it regrow a bit, then just leave it all to decompose, or till under. However, if it were me, I would just leave it to winterkill. Mulched for next year!
That is true. Didn't even think of letting it regrow. We have a long growing season so it might be a useful way to prep newer gardening spaces!
