Just started some lettuce heads.
I will graze on them to thin them out. Minimizing disturbance.
The goal is to keep just enough disturbances that the sucession of nature stays within the growing window that you're trying to accomplish.. maintaining the microbiome that's beneficial for the crops you're trying to grow.
For example I wouldn't want high fungal ratios in my soil biome if I'm growing lettuces. I do want to have it for the diversity of life, but the bacterial ratio needs to be higher for a lettuce crop..
If you're growing trees they might greatly appreciate inoculations of the old growth forest, adding in hundreds of thousands of fungal species
Hope this helps some people.
