Anyone use willow as a tree hay/fodder system for their livestock? For meat rabbits, would I be able to rely on willow as my 1 source of hay/fodder (besides kitchen scraps and yard clippings)?

Right now I purchase orchard grass for their hay and soak/sprout chicken scratch for their main calories (besides scraps/clippings). Would only willow be enough to get me off the feed store?

Hello,
I am looking for book/papers recommendations on the following topics:

• Water ecotechnologies in rural communities and developing countries
• Water quality control systems in developing countries

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Most of you are probably familiar with the Keyline scales of permanence. I was just playing around with the idea of applying the scales of permanence to a human being. I have some thoughts but I’m hoping some people are interested in throwing out there own ideas of what that ranking might look like before I share my town thoughts. Please join the brain storm! Feel creative

We have 6 acres, and there is a large stretch of our property that is along a road. Between our home and the road are tall trees. What can I plant near the road that will grow tall and dense that can thrive in low sunlight? Along both sides of the road are many trees and is shaded quite a bit. I am not seeking to put up any fences or barriers that prevent wildlife movement. Thank you in advance.

Let’s chat moon planting.

I have found that following the planting schedules has improved my yields and general success, but that could just be a result of the increase in my attention and care, regular seeding schedule of crops, etc etc.

I wouldn’t argue that the waxing moon in Yang and the Waning its Yin, up vs down. we plant first shoots, then fruits, then roots, then rest.

But like, does the moon have more or less impact than day light length? The moon can’t be stronger than the sun’s effect, right?

Also, seeds take time to swell and sprout…shouldnt we be considering seed germination time into when to seed? If I want my pea seeds to crack on the new moon, they should be soaked a day or 2 before, right?
