I am trying to get my Spring tree order together and thinking about ordering some Siberian Pea Shrubs to put near a couple of my apple trees. How far away should I plan to put them? I am sure the info is in Gaia's Garden, but I've scanned the book again and can't find it. Would I be better off with a N-fixing groundcover that can be planted directly under the tree? I was hoping for the Siberian Peas to feed to the chickens...

I'll de-lurk and introduce myself.

I discovered these forums a couple of months ago and have been lurking and searching old threads ever since. What a great site! I live in northern NY state, up in the north east corner. Three kids ages 10, 6, 3 and a husband, two dogs, two cats, 20 chickens, 6 ducks, no partridge, but I do have 2 pear trees coming this spring! I used to be a registered nurse, but I don't work outside the home since having kids; I homeschool my kids and tinker with my crazy little projects.

I love this forum! Yay! Now I can post and not feel like a poser.
