Farming the 'Long Acre'
We only have an acre of grass to feed an ever increasing grazer population, so we are always looking out for convenient ways to increase grass production
With this in mind we cut and dried the grass verge of the track (approx 100m long) and produced a good share of hay for the rabbits. We also cut bracken for compost and bedding, so the thin strip of ground that was once a burden to keep tidy has now become a productive extra bit of land
Does anyone else make use of thier local long acres?
Any good tips or plant choices

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

Re: Farming the 'Long Acre'
thanks HOMER
I've been cutting gorse for the bunnies
The gorse is growing in a 1y/o thorn hedge, so its weeding and feeding
Double the efficiancy
