Orchard Cleanup. 11.9.14 |
Not much to clean up. I'm changing approach to soil surface. Previously, I planted various herbs around each tree. Now I wonder of the more aggressive of those - peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm - competed with the tree growth. The soil is very soft and moist today. So for the first row - Saijo persimmon and the 3 paw paws, I pulled out the herbs and covered with collected maple leaves. That's the end of the leaves, so something else will have to serve the rest.
Previous mulches have done a good job. Soil was very soft and crumbly - not soggy clay.
Reading some permaculture, I wonder if this is what some hobbyists call the start of a "food forest".
