Leon S on Leon’s Substack

Hedging is a fantastic idea. In the scything groups I’m in there’s often some posts about the old arts of hedge laying. And it plays an import ecological function of providing some habitat for wild animals. I have started some native fodder trees (flemingia and indigofera) and they self propagate a bit. One good idea I saw was to plant 31 of each and every day you cut from a different tree. I think recognizing the ecological limits to your property and understanding it’s carrying capacity is so important. Since we’re on a smaller property 2.5Ha it’s easier to see the effects of having too many animals. I can give you another review from my wife’s account if you write it for me! 😀
