How do I best breaksown agricultural toxins on my site? Given time mushrooms will break down most of those unwanted chemicals. So give your site lots of woodchip, straw, compost and starter mushroom (oyster mushroom, wine cap, etc).
My other thought is to be aware of your limited resources and don't take on too much all at once. Personally I would focus on:
A) a quarter acre homesite, with my kitchen garden (root crops, vegetables, herbs, etc), chicken coop, bee hive, etc
B) a perimeter of (200) fruit trees around the zone listed above
C) a perimeter of woodlot trees around the "orchard" listed above. It can easily be pollard/etc to make firewood.
D) the fish pond, biological filtration for the pond can be done by throwing bags of mushroom-innoculated hay into the pond.
E) the silvo-pasture, same as the other areas, I would just add alot of woodchip/soil carbon.
Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect
