Now that I am back home I want to transform my property into a permaculture food forest. I've watched tons of documentaries, but how do I deal with ticks and such? Letting things grow wild and lushes could spell disaster for me. The only way of dealing with ticks I know of is keeping everything moved to the ground. But that's not really permaculture. So I would love to get some tips from other permies in Arkansas. How do you walk through your food forest without getting infested with ticks? We had such a mild winter. There are already ticks everywhere. I will get some guineas soon, but I feel like there's more I can and should do.
