Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 yes marie,i'm a big advocate of edible landscape. using fruit trees instead of decorative trees. using fruit bearing shrubs for foundation plantings. herbs and strawberries or cranberry plants for borders. that has always been my goal/dream. wanted to do it here until we realized the deer like those delicious berries also. so edibles go in the 7' fenced garden (presently overgrown) and only a few that they don't like enjoy the rest of the yard. so may ways to provide food naturally that take no more space then what we already have in our yards. and i agree that cities should plant fruit trees like you suggested. barbara Yes I am for it rises thousands of turkeys and free them every wehre beside we will have food for the bad days too and eggs same for chicken. Why do nt we plant decorative trees instead of fruit tree in USA and every where in the street there would be much less people in hunger .

Instead of kill off the animals that are just innocent victims of ticks the same as we are, we should be encouraging the populations of those animals/birds that are good tick-killers. Guinea hens eat a lot of ticks. I would like to see yards and yards of these birds. We should not kill off ourselves with poisons and the animal/bird populations due to tick infestation. That does not do anyone any good. Feeding hungry guinea fowl is much more efficient and nature... Blessings, Meo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 HiFruit trees are much more beautiful than a decorative tree too, there is also a positive energy to fruit tree you don t find in a regular tree, it could have healing properties.DamariseTo: Lyme_and_Rife From: jimjax2@...Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:34:57 +0000Subject: Re: OT Beware Tick population boom expected this year! Hi Marie, Planting fruit trees in the green areas near the streets is an excellent idea!! Hunger in America is a very sore spot for me and your idea could be part of the solution!!
