anyway hello, my thing is ecology and i'm really interested in integrating ecology with agriculture. personally i'm focused on livestock farming rather than cropping or fruit, but i love to hear about anyone's experiences with growing anything, animal or vegetable, in balance with natural ecosystems. i also love swamps. i can tell you anything you want to know about australian swamps. please keep in mind i can only tell you about australian swamps, which will be of limited use because most of you aren't australian, but the problems they face (fertiliser run-off, drainage for development, general ecocide from all sides) are universal tbh

How can I best respect it/utilize it/establish a symbiotic relationship? Besides becoming the swamp thing, not my fet.

i can't in good faith recommend ecological integration to anyone outside australia, we don't have to deal with rabies

It makes EXCELLENT fertilizer just mix that in with topsoil and you are good to go. friendbot2000 posted:Edit: I am also now wondering if guniea fowl and chickens are okay living in the same coop or if they need different living spaces...off to google be warned, they are loud. you will not believe how loud until you hear the whole flock going off at once. it's incredible

i am 100% in favour of guinea fowl as a catch-all solution to all your poultry problems. unless, and i cannot stress this enough, you live in a built-up area and want to remain friends with your neighbours. a few years ago i was breeding them and i made a thread about keets that may be helpful if you're thinking about getting some (helpful not because i share any advice that's remotely useful to anyone, but because it will make you go from "maybe" to a definite "yes")
