Maximize Edge — FarmPal
The edge between two ecosystems (forest/meadow, pond/land) is the most productive and biodiverse zone.
Applications
- •Create curved, undulating borders rather than straight lines
- •Add micro-edges with keyhole beds and herb spirals
- •Create elevation changes (berms, swales) for edge effects
- •Use hedgerows to maximize forest-meadow interface
Common Mistakes
- •Rectangular, straight-line designs
- •Eliminating natural edges in favor of uniformity
- •Ignoring vertical edge creation
