Oh and thanks Mike I need to add some rocks good idea!

Hi Mike. We are northern WY close to Worland. I do have access to some cold hardy but wanted to try and test my luck with peaches etc.. I do lots of things ..I guess.. we farm. I do massage, ozone therapy, garden, Medicinal plants of the Big Horn Basin field trips etc...Jill of all trades and master at some. It is really pretty down in your end of the state!

I am making hugel beds here in Wyoming. We are zone 3-4. It got to -38 here this winter a few mornings. On what side would you plant zone 5 fruit trees by the hugelkultur bed? It is on contour so runs east to west then wraps around to the south then back to the east..or will be that way when we get it done Why I ask is: will the warmth of the south or east protected side, encourage the tree to break dormancy early and then get frosted? Or will the decomposition of the wood help that?

New to permaculture and all of this stuff but wow it rocks!

I will be doing a hands on class the end of April on it to introduce others to it.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks Jennifer..I'll try to get me some of those ther apples!

As a newbie help me to understand how to get apples? I wanted to post on a subject and it said I needed four apples and I have no apples so I couldn't post. I have lots of horse apples but that's
all
