 My boys helped me get this post set for a purple martin house at my in-laws' place. It's set in a row of apple trees that I'm converting into a food-forest fedge system. I'm looking forward to free "nitrogen" collecting in this area. #grownostr #permies #parenting

 awesome, intersperse planting with nitrogen fixers you can later use for mulch or compost or whatever 
 I've got seaberry that I'm planning to stool layer this year, bought lupine seeds to add in (maybe, most of the plants are edible and I'm not sure i want to add a poison into a space my boys/nephews graze from), I leave the clovers that come in and I have some green beans that have self seeded for a year and will hopefully continue. I might add in cowpeas and/or a dwarf sweet pea variety if space and/or time allow. 
 good ideas for me also :)
