Animals have an important role to play in the environment, and many people who grow their own food also have much-loved pets and farm animals.
Small-scale producers have used animals with their fruit trees for centuries, but these days the focus is usually on keeping animals away from fruit trees.
In fact, your animals can become valued partners in your garden. They recycle nutrients, clean up pests and reduce waste—plus, they do the mowing! However, choosing the right animals for your situation is key to success.
This course guides you through the pros and cons of including various animals and helps you figure out which wilI suit you best.
What’s included in this course:
- Unit 1: Do you have a weed problem, or an animal deficiency (article)
- Unit 2: Write an animal plan for your garden (activity)
