Hi all!
I am in the process of planning my food forest installation. I have run across conflicting information about whether it is beneficial to guild raspberries and blackberries or whether to install them in a bramble. I am trying to do as much polyculture planting as possible to avoid the use of pesticides/spraying. What do you recommend?
I have some very large canopy trees exsisting (ie mostly oak and poplar) on the north edge of my installation and I am installing fruit trees this spring (Enterprise apple, arkansas black apple, standard and semi dwarf cherries, pawpaw, and hardy fig). Do I plant in a bramble or guild on swales??? HELP!
