The most productive areas of my homestead are “messy”. When we have farm tours some marvel at the beds of collards and other leafy greens dispersed throughout- but then question the “messy” parts- even though in comparison- the “messy” areas are far more productive. I have found a lot of people often want rows and structure but that’s not nature- for example: here is a guild of cassava, sugarcane, mango, papaya, longevity spinach, Japanese sunflower and katuk all in a 4’x6’ space thriving- Ducks and chickens meandering on the ground – there is no insect damage- no powdery mildew, no disease… yet we have nutritious leafy greens, fruit, starch and meat all growing with zero effort on our part- we only harvest and eat…. Your thoughts ?
