Need gardening help in Belfair, WA Mason/Kitsap County

I have a black thumb, my fruit trees have died, so have my raspberries, and my blueberrys.
I still keep buying and planting, but sure could use some advice with someone coming and helping me (advice only) design a drip watering system and looking over my acre that I am trying to plant (have over 3 acres, 2 acres woodland).
I will feed you, and pay for your travel, but really need to rethink what we are doing and find out why it is dying. I think it is all my fault.

Howdy James, welcome to permies!

Maybe we can give you some help here on line? Tell us about your place, what you are planting, how you are planting etc. Maybe a picture or two also.

Hey, I live in the Belfair area. I have also had a number of problems getting trees to grow here. I've started to have some success now. The problems (for me at least) stem from the fact I live in the sand hill area and it is aptly named. The drainage in this area is extreme and there is about 1 inch of top soil.

My suggestions for getting trees started would be if you are planting bare root from like Raintree or whatnot dig a hole maybe 2 feet wide and 3 feet deep, fill it with topsoil or compost or the like and plant into that. The problem for me was that when summer came around and it stopped drizzling the ground dried out so fast the trees died. I lost 2 sets of Hazels over 2 years that way and the third has now made it 3 years.

Biggest problem we have is deer and common tansy.
We are picking up two nigerian dwarf does today to deal with the tansy, but they are young.
We have some raised bed, but need to do a watering system and likely looking at our garden in ten min we could learn what we need.
thanks contact me.

I am just down the hill from you all, on Old Belfair Hwy. Be happy to meet and greet sometime.
