A number of the trees are part of an agroforestry scheme in conjunction with Great Western Community Forest incorporating woodland and livestock. In this case organic and conventional free range laying hens. The aim is to encourage the chickens to roam more freely and to create natural shade and shelter. It will also have considerable landscape and wildlife benefits. The chickens and other livestock also provide an excellent source of fertiliser for the vegetables and fields. <br><br><br> <P style="text-align: justify ;"> <img hspace="10" src="pics_02/ph_020_moorhens_002.jpg" align="right" width="303" height="160"> <img src="pics_01/bull_001.gif"> Organic farming does not only mean producing crops without the use of artificial fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides, it is a way of providing a sustainable alternative to modern intensive farming methods. Organic farming relies first and foremost on ecological interactions and biological processes working with the natural systems rather than seeking to dominate them. <br><br><br> <div align="center"> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #ffff80; font-size: 18px; line-height : 24px;"> © Purton House 2003-2005.
