Creating “wild” pasture and edible forests for alpacas
On 2 of their 6 acres, the owners of Lazy M Permaculture Oasis in Idaho, USA, are creating a new type of pasture and extending their ability to grow food for their 4 llamas and 37 alpacas. It includes browsing islands, savanna-like tree plantings, and an edible forest garden where leaves, fruits and twigs drop or can be nibbled on by their livestock. Hedgerows will provide further wildlife habitat and browsing material, fenced off at first and browse-able by reaching over the fence, then grown without the fence once sturdy enough.
