    Nice, yup when I had 100 sheep in the monoculture apple orchard they cleared every leaf up to chest height and gave fantastic access and aeration to the trees. Bonus was that the grass never was nicer than that year. No shrubs will survive after 2 grazings per year for two years.

    10:14 Is the cardboard not a highly industrial made, extra glue and stuff kind of product?
    I would would never put "that" in a completely organic soil.

      use sheep not goats. Sure goat yoga is all fun and games, but goats are more interested in shrubbery than what's on the ground.

    Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Owls eat rodents which host ticks. Sheep are a good match for an orchard. A couple pigs in fall would eat any fruits you missed which can reduced the over wintering of coddling moths.

    The sheep seem to be much safer than my goats. The goats would have stood up and cleared much higher. I may try it anyway, but instead of giving them a whole day, just allowing them in while I work beside them for a few hours a day.
    Your sand is so much better than what I have here. Locals call this sugar sand as it looks and feels like sugar. I still have had 0 luck getting comfrey to grow here in sun or shade. The amaranth, sun hemp and clover did produce pretty well and all the animals are living it

    We used to do this around the farm buildings and equipment. Sheep will clean out an area. We had goats too but they crashed fences down because they chased trees and shrubbery up high and ignored a lot of the ground feed, so were less effective than sheep. I'd choose the 'meat' variety of sheep over the 'wool' types unless you want to make sweaters.

    I keep saying foot to knee is for the pigs and knee to shoulder is for the Pygmy goats that go in after. 🤣

    Absolutely wonderful. Our tiny flock thrives on native black locust, tulip poplar, sassafras and the apricot, hazelnut and apple we've planted all over. By the time they've finished the rotation around the property all 6 of those are ready to be foraged again. I have yet to deworm any sheep. Another great video. Thanks.
