I'm looking forward to following this study and the suggestions. Great information, thanks.

Simeon, wow there is so much to know about taking care of your land with holistic management. I think sometimes we take it for granted and not keep our land thriving. Thank you for a great video.

Cheers muchly. That was interesting regarding the ground. It reminded me of an area that we used to picnic on years ago that was heavily grazed by rabbits. But the wild flowers were abundant and the butterflies and other insects were numerous. Not so now, it was taken over by a woodland charity - don't know what happened to the rabbits, but the grass grew up, tussocked and the wild flowers and including the abundant variety of insects had virtually all gone, just a few harebells struggling to get to the light. I felt sad, because it appeared to be just waste land and had lost so much as a result. I guess they didn't understand the ecosystem and ruined it. Or am I misinterpreting?

Very interesting concepts!

This is what be learned in school the basic's ,but school teach us how to work for other's and crazy other stuff we do not need to know...

Which school? I have never seen this content taught like this in a public school or farming school. If it was, our agriculture would look very different.

Our local extension service will teach to assist these ideas. There are also grants. However, big farmers are not as interested.

Do you have any steep land on your new homestead? I would love a guide on how to seed pasture grass on steep land. There’s nothing really out there explaining how to seed grass seed on steep land… half of my property is rolling and pretty steep rolling land. So no tractor on those parts. I know it’ll be an uphill battle but I’m dead set on making my property work for small ruminants and growing forage for them

Grass and hay mulch with seeds in it.

@@simeonandalex thanks, yes, I’ve put out some hay on my land (with seeds inside the hay presumably) but in order to get the grass established I would need to put out a lot of seed or more seed than what’s in the hay. I guess I’ll try broadcasting again and putting the hay on top of the broadcasted seed.
