Plants which need little care

[kalakoa]

Pigs will dig up and/or eat things while you're gone. Strategies I have used:

- plant in a fissure so the pigs can't reach (some fissures also have great drainage, so work well for citrus and avocado)

- use black cinder instead of mulch or dirt (it has no smell)

- temporary pig fencing around the new plantings (4 pallets screwed together, slats horizontal not vertical)
