Spent some time this afternoon in the orchard taking the nettles up from under the trees and generally taking out the worst of the weeds. Thinking about what to plant under the trees just around the bases of the trunks. Permaculture suggests comfrey as it brings beneficial insects and acts as a nitrogen fixer. Also lavender brings the bees and daffodils keep away rabbits- apparently. I am wondering about other things like herbs and wild garlic (ransomes) . Anyone out there have any ideas?
