Sustainable agriculture, overwinter garden with livestock and cover crop (manure)
What happens here
Once a particular section of the garden has been adequately worked by the livestock (tilled, weeded, and fertilized), carefully dismantle and re-install the electric fence to enclose a new, untouched section. This rotational grazing and tilling system allows the animals to systematically prepare the entire garden plot without overworking any single area.
Goal: Ensure even and controlled preparation of the entire garden through rotational grazing/tilling.
