I agree. To take it one step further and to create a more sustainable ecosystem I suggest looking into aquaponics. That will also add the benefit of produce and in the end require less maintenance and interference. Check out this site for more info.

I was thinking the same thing. I have so many ideas now. THIS IS AMAZING! I have been loaning to small organic farmers on Kiva.org and was thinking how else can I help them. I am going to share Steemit with them.
Sir, I pray you are learning farming practices from: Permaculture, Biodynamic farming and Certified Organic farming practices.
I would not want your wonderful works to harm the eco-system and your community with BIG AG farming practices that promote the use of synthetic chemicals that will bankrupt your efforts.
Do a search on 'GMO suicides' and 'farmer suicides' to learn more. *NOTE be careful as some videos that come up on Youtube show the actual suicide.
I am sharing this because I care about what you are doing and want you to succeed.
In short, using synthetic fertilizers may grow plants quickly, but the plants will become addicted and need you to buy more and more bags of fertilizer to keep them alive. These fake fertilizer plants will then have lower nutrients to provide real nourishment for the community.
If you add any store bought items make sure they are certified organic, biodynamic and free from toxic long lasting chemicals and heavy metals.
Keep up the great work!
