"Shit!", she's got it right!!
Our land is very diverse. It is too rocky to till, and one area we leveled stripped off the top soil, which at the time was the plan.
Insects, amphibians, and wild birds are everywhere.
There is an orchard, where trees felled to put in. A small percentage of our acreage. And the variety is vast: wild blueberry, mulberry, peach, apple and pears. Its a space for song birds and butterfies and such. The forest animals use it too. The deer travel thru, the racoon visits, and far too many ground hogs.
And yes, the rabbit "shit" accumulated over the winter was repurposed over the garlic bed. Funny to see we have the same California rabbits as this woman, though ours are just rescued pets.
Still working on improvements.
And its called permaculture.
