Selling that stuff would require me interacting with the public far too often. I just use the products and don't cull anything. Give away what I don't need. I also have a lot of quail. They aren't allowed to roam like the rest of the pets. Quail eggs are the very best though

Planting flowers between things and smelly herbs and not planting large blocks of plants in the same family in the same bed. So a whole bed won't be brassicas or night shades etc. Not as effective on a garden this small but it helps.
>>18660653
They'll go through and eat all the grasshoppers and slugs they can find. They do a little bit of damage by trampling things but everything a trade off. They stay outside the fence most of the time. I want to experiment with some extra small breeds of duck and have them stay in permanently.

It can. I've grown a field of corn on it before. And a goat could eat some of it, but I guess I'd be able to clear the bigger stuff with a tractor. The only thing that worries me would be stumps of trees and cutting the taller ones down.

I already have two ducks that make good eggs and a pygmy goat.
