Incorporating animals into our property design is of course a possible food source, but also spreads the burden of pollinating, aerating, digging, mowing, spreading fertilizer and containing pests.
Module 12, coming up next, is graduation and design presentations. If we have more presentations than we can comfortably fit in module 12, we’ll make time a few design project presentations during the morning of this module.
In the afternoon, tutor Kazel Cass will lead us in a discussion about integration, management and care of animals (poultry, worms, goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, bees and cattle.) She has had them all and has personal wisdom to share. We’ll touch on establishing a habitat for spiders, butterflies, other beneficial insects and birds. Pasture care and other animal food sources. Fencing. Wildlife. “Pests.”

Feedback
“How fantastic to see a family living what we’ve been talking about all year. And I really got the reality of having and caring for animals, not just the cute, fluffy “Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own milk cow!” sort of future dream.”
“It was interesting to discuss how to encourage beneficial insects and other organisms and discourage the uninvited ones! All the hosts were informative and personable.”
“Louise blew me away – how much she knows about the insects in her garden, just from paying attention and then looking things up in books and on the internet. She totally woke me up to a layer of life I’ve been oblivious to in my own garden.”
