Hello all, I have backyard that is 7000-8000 sqft. I’m in Palm Springs, California , zone 9b. Summers are spring 120-125 degree F. My goal is to plant as many fruit trees as possible and have some raised beds. Bermuda grass will be here even after I die because of golf courses. So raised bed are necessary. I installed 2 raised beds and one more in next weeks. Is there any chance someone wants to help me map out where to plant fruits trees? We can work on a google Doc. I have mulch in the whole yard last year, and a fresh thin layer this year. Thanks for considering. submitted by /u/meandme00 ..read more

Hi all, I live in Georgia and am trying to plant crimson clover because I see it all around and think it’s beautiful. My quick google search tells me that they normally flower in the fall? But it is mid April right now and they have bloomed full force so not sure if I can plant asap or should wait till prime time. TIA!!! submitted by /u/BeginningDrink6734 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I was out for a walk and someone was spraying something on their plants which I assume was weedkiller. My nose felt a bit scratchy. I was exposed to it for a solid 25 seconds. I have now learned it is carcinogenic. Will I be fine submitted by /u/Feeling_Camp6586 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm removing mesh and volcanic gravel from my backyard with the intention to plant crops between the trees. My idea is to push my high density backyard a level further, by not only having trees planting somewhat closer than expected, but to also plant so many crops between trees so that they behave as a cover to prevent erosion, weeds, and actually, provide some vegetables. What problems might I face down the road? submitted by /u/yzT- [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I live in the Czech Republic and we inherited a field in a farming area. In the past few years it was used to farm potatoes and most recently it is used as a field to harvest the grass for hay for some horses. It is has a slight slope. The area has clay soil and it seems quite compacted. The area has very little rainfall and the field is quite dry. There is a well but it hasn't been used in years and I don't think it's in great condition. I want to create a small market farm next year. I was thinking of adding some swales to help with rain capture. The top of the hill has a very small vineyar ..read more

Snow melt usually causes a lot of pooling water, and we’re too far away to pump the water into the river, or into any sewer drains. Is it a good idea to pump the water into a large plastic holding tank, and use it for gardening at a later date? submitted by /u/CaribouNWT [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
