>>2594098>Beets and turnips almost always get eaten by rodents and mole crickets, I could make it work but I can just plant something else, I don't care about them that much.huh, I guess I will see how they fair in my area
>Hazelnut always has empty shells, they get eaten from insideHmmm....
>Pears caught some sort of fungal disease and all my pears and pears grown by my neighbors simply died and dried up several years ago, I didn't bother replanting them, just planted apples and plums instead. Funny thing I have a bunch of plum trees, like 6 or something, but they hardly bare any fruit. I'm not sure why, is it because of frosts hitting at bad times and killing off flowers. Lack of bees, or some other shit.
Also all the plum trees have some sort of fungal disease. Pic related. Starts off as black spots on leaves that end up as holes.
The leaves are patchy but I dont get why it still doesn't pump out some fruits.
>Yes but there are cold hardy cultivars that can grow down to USDA zone 4, works for me in zone 5A.I see. Well dunno, maybe. Graps are just sugar bombs and I can't say I find them to be that great, but variety is variety.
>I'll do that, thanks for suggestion.Look into how you will terminate it(if you plan to just use it as winter cover crop).
And rye is extremely good at scavenging nitrogen. So it's great to use to soak up and hold on to nitrogen for the winter(turnips and tillage radish are bigger batteries of nitrogen but don't scavenge as well).
So any plats that are dying back with coming cold, the rye picks that up and holds on to it for the winter.
Threw some seeds into the compost pile and they grew a nice patch.
This year I will try testing patches of rye one where I do nothing and one where I pour some diluted piss on them and see how that affects the end results.
Want some rye pics?
