Hello All,

I have been forest gardening for the last 5 years with many successes and failures. I also have goats, chickens and well fertilized annual beds that have become too weedy.  Realized that I can not do everything myself, especially with all the other projects I have going on. Open to any new ideas. So, if there is anyone out there in the area who has any advice, is willing to help out in any way, or would like to visit let me know. You can email me at warfare_music@hotmail.com, but I will be checking back here periodically.

Thanks,

I bought a bunch of trees last year and most of them are doing well, however there is an apple and pear tree that have only grown shoots at the top no more then 2-3 inches. Any idea why this may be and what (if anything) should be done.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi, I have a old abandoned pool in the back yard. It hasn't been in use for at least 5 years. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to water my plants with the water that is currently in the pool. If not I am thinking of draning it out and converting it into a rainwater storage tank, but I would much rather save the work and use the water currently in the pool if it is safe to use.

Thanks for any help.
