My mother did raised beds of separate plants in each bed, no rotation, requiring a lot of manure and mulch to keep soil fertile. I want to do better.
After reading everything I could get my hands on recently, I've come to an idea of what I'd like my garden to be like (small, less than an acre). I was thinking of planting 5 plants and 1 tree type together. Can anyone please give me feedback on how these would grow together? Do I need to remove one, add one, etc?
Apple trees, oregano, comfrey, pumpkins, tomatoes, asparagus.
I like in Eastern Washington. I want my garden to not only reach my own table, but be tasty snacks for my rabbits, chickens, and hogs. All feedback welcome!
