Fences are an unfortunate necessity. Roaming animals can easily destroy a harvest. Our own goats cause us problems with our neighbors when they destroy someones crop. With something as divisive as a fence the best choice is to make it useful. Privacy is valuable. On the people side we have stacked coconut, cashew, moringa, papaya, and coming soon passion vines. In five years this fence will be a thriving edible privacy screen.
On the goat side we have planted a mix of glacidea, luceana, and napier grass. This will provide our goats with higher protein feed that will last through the dry season. As the goat tractor cycles through the garden the uneaten leguminous leaves also leave behind a high nitrogen mulch.
