We also have a worm farm for feeding the veggie garden.
We grow veggies and herbs for use in breakfast and a papaya tree for fresh fruit.
I dehydrate fruits in-season so I can use at another time in the year when fruits not in season.
We do not waste food. We convert left over food into jams, spreads and / or freeze extra produce.
We do not spray any chemicals.
We reduce mosquitos by using practices and plants that do not allow water to collect. No standing water that does not contain fish and the dragonfly population eat 1,000 mosquito larvae/day.
