    Default Changes to my garden / Adaption of Woodrow System

    plans.jpg

    I think I purchased the last, or one of the last Linda Woodrow books, it seems to be out of print now. However, I am trying to adapt the system to my current situation, and this seems to be where I am going with it. I am still nervous about a bramble fedge with regards to deer, but I know deer hate going through blackberry bramble.

    Thoughts, comments, concerns?

    I'm not familiar with some of the species (different climate zone) but it sure looks good! The system works well for me.

    Which plant(s) are you unfamiliar with?

    I am having a problem finding something to replace the pigeon pea in the system, I am unsure if it would do well here.

    Fedge = Food Hedge, a barrier of edible plants to deflect deer away.

    As for Sunchoke

    The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also called the sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or topinambour, is a species of sunflower native to eastern North America, and found from Eastern Canada and Maine west to North Dakota, and south to northern Florida and Texas.[1] It is also cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable.[2]
