My friend, I keep having this discussion with folks like you. I've been studying permaculture for over 15 years now, and even studied with Geoff Lawton PDC. When you try to scale that for human consumption, the minute a single coyote poops in any of your harvest, the whole thing is scrapped. There's this disconnect where people say you can grow whatever you want. No, you cannot grow whatever you want, when your purpose is to grow for human consumption, whereby set food is intertwined into an agro food forestry system.

Like blueberries, elderberries are nitrogen-fixing plants. They have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria called Frankia, which live in their roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. This can help improve the health and productivity of the surrounding plants, particularly those that are nitrogen-loving. I've been looking to see what trees we might have in the UK that fix nitrogen.

The production quality of this video is incredible! The example drop-in shots, the music at the beginning, the background of hills and zero traffic noise was just pastoral and idyllic. Who wouldn't want to lay on the ground there? 😊 I have a blooming elderberry after failing at one of the "easiest to grow plants" for the last 3 years, but I finally got it here! I am inspired to crank up the perennial herbs. I have cardboard and wood chipped part of the orchard and I think it's going to be the herb garden. Every shovelful of dirt has worms in it this year. Mushrooms hopping up all over the place, and rabbits love goldenrod, plantain, clover, dandelion and comfrey. They are getting beyond wonderful nutrition. Be blessed!

My husband & I rented a small house from his grandparents for 7 yrs. in the 90s, then bought the house. Part of the deal of cheap rent was that we mowed their lawn, shoveled their sidewalk & driveway, paid the property taxes & they never heard about a problem with the house or property. It was a good deal for both of us. Both properties had a lot of black walnut trees. The squirrels managed to make a mess out of them, and the lawn mower went through hell hitting one. The skins are so thick & hard. The trees were huge, but the nuts were never harvested for use. Grandparents have since passed away, we moved, but most of the trees are still there. The houses were next to each other. A friend bought our house & is taking good care of the place. Wood chips are a no no at our new place. We're in a high-risk fire area just inside city limits. How's the grandbaby?

Does comfrey and borage provide same benefits?

They definitely look similar, but they provide varying medicinal benefits.

Why do you pull the goldenrod? I am growing it everywhere for its medicinal uses and for Autumn food for my pollinators.

I only remove it from the orchard, but I allow it to grow everywhere else.

Do you spray your peach trees for brown rot and the plum curculio beetle? I’ve found mo realistic organic way to protect my fruit trees from these things.

I usually chop them up at the base of the trees and leave them there unless I’m dealing with black locust. Thank you so much for checking us out!

I noticed you standing very close to a tree with lots of Posion IVY growing on it. I assume you are not allergic to it.
