“Ah man, I have so much delicious, abundant fruit that I don’t even know what to do with it all!”
Nice problem to have, eh?!
By planting your home orchard trees in smart trios, you can create this reality. When done well, the various trees and/or varieties of trees help each other thrive by managing and contributing essential nutrients and controlling pests.
- If you want to take it a step further, create layers of other plants and shrubs to further manage soil, pests, water retention, shade and light, and more.
