Also looking into going solar!!  

Just ordered clover seed to fill in my front lawn in the hope of changing from a high maintenance grass lawn that requires lots of water, mowing, and chemicals to a green "lawn" that looks good, does not need mowing, and improves the soil!  Why didn't I do this years ago?!

I already have 8 hazelnuts, 3 pine nuts, 2 pear and 2 heart nut trees in my yard. I'd like to plant 2 apples, 2 pawpaw and maybe 2 persimmon.

We now have 8 hazel nut, 3 pine nut, 2 pear and 2 heart nut trees to begin to have our own edible food forest and I've been growing vegetables for years, but the variety of...
