Everything is food for something at the homestead
All the weeds, and prunings are fed to the rabbits from around the homestead.
I've been feeding the rabbits one or two wheelbarrows full most days which means we only give them some grain coated with molasses and mineral to supplement their nutrition.
Soon we will start harvesting rabbits regularly but for now we just process one when we get taste for rabbit. We used this one to make white chilli.
What would normally end up in the compost bin is instead used to feed the rabbits and turned into meat which we eat. The rabbits deposit thier manure helping to feed the cannabis, which we produce and sell seed. So weeding and pruning which helps our fruits and vegetables grow better, ends up growing us more meat, cannabis and helps us earn some sats while we're at it. Everything is food for something!

quoting nevent1q…4larWeeding garlic is simultaneously harvesting food for rabbits
With the explosion in spring growth comes weeding. Thankfully when I weed, I am simultaneously harvesting. In this case, weeding the garlic in the food forest is harvesting food for the rabbits. Been pulling three 5gal buckets of weeds a day for the last several days. Additionally, when I feed my rabbits, they fertilize the cannabis garden because I plant the cannabis in the rabbit colony. So by weeding the garlic, I'm feeding both the rabbits and the cannabis. Integrate rather than segregate to catch and store energy!
