I have a
fence line 1200' long with field
fence where the grass isn't cut close to the fence. I want to plant this whole fence line with fruit tree seeds and see what I can get. Only caveat is whatever I plant can't hurt
cattle (neighbor has cattle directly on other side, i Wil have mine on my side too)
Plan:
-Eat more fruit and save seeds, try for lots of varities
-Plant seeds near fence so they don't get mowed down during
hay periods.
-plant lots of seeds, assuming fallout
-dont
water, what lives, lives
-dont sweat the details and enjoy what happens. Excess or junk fruit goes to
chickens or composting
Questions:
-how close to the fence
should I plant?
-should I bury an
apple core with seeds or just seeds?
-how deep to bury? Any amendments?
-how far apart to plant
trees
-should I rotate types or just go willy nilly and plant whatever I have that day?
-can I plant anytime during the year since I am going for volume of opportunities
Thanks. I am planning a
permaculture Orchard as part of my design
class project, in there I will be more specific and results. For this I just want to fill in a fence line with as much food as possible
