Tree Fodder

In this episode, we build off of the previous episodes on pollarding, coppicing, and silvopasture to discuss the utilization of leaves and needles as feed. What's the history of this practice, how does it integrate into a silvopasture system, and how does it relate with coppicing and pollarding?   Sources: "Fodder Tree Leaves", Uzman Bashir Cheema & Javed Iqbal Sultan  "Silvopasture: A Guide to Managing Grazing Animals, Forage Crops, and Trees in a Temperate Farm Ecosystem", Steve Gabriel https://www.stipulae.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Fodder-Trees.pdf https://littleavalonfarm.com/making-tree-hay-for-winter-feed/ https://www.ancienttreeforum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/A-study-of-practical-pollarding-techniques-in-northern.pdf https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeabXelBI4X61nNYlxvCvIg     Support this podcast by becoming a Patron at: https://www.patreon.com/PoorProlesAlmanac
