Hi I know this is an old forum, new to gardening but I have 2 apple trees about 3 years old. This will be my first year doing more than some fruit trees and berry garden. I have a pretty standard size backyard (dwarf trees) we have a lawn so we dug out an area of grass for the trees, when talking companion planting. Do I plant chives or comfry in the dirt mound created by removing some of my grass? I hope im explaining this right, it's bare dirt around my trees, lawn everywhere else. Can I plant up to the base of my tree in that small circle area? Probably a stupid question but I don't want to harm my trees, trying to grow a bit of a victory garden so to speak to feed my family and friends. Thanks for any and all help!
