Cocktails, Pasture and Cover Crops

Each year we plant twenty acres of pasture for our chickens. We are about to start planting for next year’s pasture, and we are going to change things up big time. Last March we went to the Permaculture Voices conference in San Diego and listened to Eliane Ingham. She really explained how the soil life works which made sense after the great things we have been seeing with our soil. We learned so much from her, and now we are going to mix up many species in the pasture; a cocktail rather than four or five grasses and clovers.
