Organic Practices

I intend to use Permaculture practices, which includes animals and beneficial wildlife to handle pest control as well as fertilizer to reduce the need, if any at all, for pesticides. As well as beneficial practices and maintenance that will reduce the need for chemical intervention for disease control.
