Agro-Ecology 101: Water Based Ecology

At Meadows Bee Farm, we use what nature has already put in place to support our ecology when applying techniques to farm and grow food. Vermont has a lot of water between and underneath its land, so making ponds and supporting streams is a great way to harness this elemental power. We surround our bodies of water with fruiting plants, and surround our fruiting plants with Agro-Forestry in mind to bring in nutrients, protection, and moisture. See what you can do to support your water based ecology in your gardens!
