Plantain (pioneer, edible by humans and chooks, does not mind compacted ground)
Birdsfoot trefoil lotus (N fixer, plays nicely with trees)
Flax (fibre and oilseed crop, also nice in orchard settings)
Yarrow (attracts beneficial/predatory insects)
Borage (edible, plus bees dig it)

I've gotta say this is brilliant -- it never occurred to me to look for borage in bulk! I've grown individual plants in my herb garden, but they don't make it through the summer heat and I planted the last borage seed from my packet this spring.

What's that smell? I think this tiny ad may have stepped in something.
