I read that the seeds are dangerous to eat as they will cause itching as they exit the digestive tract.  On the other hand, I keep seeing people talk about eating them fresh, drying and eating whole, or making into jam (not strained jelly).  Can someone offer some clarification?

For those of you scatter planting, how are you controlling weeds?  Or aren't you?  I'm wanting to grow a large crop as fodder but have been overwhelmed at the idea of needing to till up grass (we've been all no-till so far) and then keep weeding the area.  Is there an easier way?

Last year we planted an orchard on our new homestead and are working on establishing fruit tree guilds around the trees.  The rows of trees alternate with rows of blueberries with sufficient space to move our chicken tractors between the rows.

I'd like to interplant/underpants the blueberries with plants that will be beneficial to them but am struggling to find advice- most is geared toward using blueberries as part of a guild or food forest, not toward creating a guild to benefit the blueberries.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
