Grass fed kunekune pigs
We introduced pigs into our small scale permaculture system as a natural means of tillage and grass control over a year ago and the results have been very satisfactory. With simple management, rotating the pigs through various areas they can be used to great effect for 'mowing' grass along pathways, terraces and around trees.
Provided the pigs have plenty of grass and other green edible herbage they seem to leave young trees alone. We have found that at certain times leaves of peach, almond and apple may be palatable.
Pigs love to rub and scratch against things, especially after emerging from a muddy bath in the swale. Consider having a suitable tree or post nearby.
