I have an orchard in costal Washington. The orchard has been planted in a field used for grass hay production before I bought it and started planting a variety of fruit trees. I keep the orchard mowed during the early summer to make it easier to get through the orchard. I would like to add clover to the mix of the grass, etc. that make up the current sod. My hope is to add additional nitrogen by using clover, to improve game feed (deer), and to help the fruit trees. Can I just spread some white clover seed over the orchard and let is come up in the current sod? If so, during what time of year can this be done?
Thanks

I live in Vancouver Washington, and planted a Camperdown Elm about 2 years ago. It was leaning quit a bit so I tried to stake it. I couldn't find any info about pruning this tree so I'm hoping you can help. Is there any pruning needed or other care I should be aware of?

What is this plant? I love it and need to know how to properly care for it! (I need to dust it off, I just got it today)

I have a friend who has had her tubers for 40 years. Due to a series of serious health challenges she probably won't be able to plant all 30-40 this year, if any. Is it possible to keep them through the summer, overwinter (again) and replant the following year? And if so, how exactly? She has grown the same tubers for decades and some are 7" across! I have looked online and most questions deal with just overwintering until spring. This is about saving for an additional year without the benefit of planting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hello, my name is Annette Recently I've been becoming more and more disturbed with the amount of waste my work produces ( Dutch Bros ). Thats what lead me to your article on how coffee grounds can be a great addition to compost piles. What I hope to do is create a efficient way to make use of all the coffee grounds that go to waste everyday, if you have any suggestions on how I can put this idea into affect id greatly appreciate it.

I’ve recently discovered how delicious lavender is in apricot jam. I have canned apricot jam many times before. Can I can it the same way, or do I need to do something differently because of the lavender seeds in it?

Hello Bee expert Our Bird houses where some mason bees were living Mason blew down in the last windstorm. There are about 25 individuals inside a nesting ball on the ground. We thought we would try to put it back in the house. You have some recommendations? We thought we would use a shovel to take the ground underneath them and gently put it back on the base of the house and then put the house back on top of them. This is the second time they have been disturbed this season. And we are worried that they might not make it due to being disturbed We wondered what we might be able to feed them. Since all the flowers have stopped blooming here, there’s not much for them to eat. Can we use hummingbird nectar?
