Hello David- thanks for this video. What about planting trees in an area surrounded by clover? Would you still advise mulching heavily? Perhaps in a smaller radius around the tree due to the nitrogen fixing properties of clover?

Good day David!

It finally occurred to me that I could send you a message as though you were a real existing human being rather than just “someone on the internet.” Wanted to say thank you. My parents were gardeners for all their life, and I never understood the call. They’re back with the Lord for a bit now, and am grateful to say that the green thumb has finally emerged within myself. I wanted to thank you. Your gardening philosophy reminded me of a message from a priest years back when he said, “We’ve overcomplicated what mission is.” We had recently moved, and this time I do not have the privilege of having my parents’ decades worth of soil work – starting from scratch, so to speak. So, I took out the shovel and squared off an area in the dirt and have 3 rows 4×16 long. I only managed to get 3 trees in, but the rows are full of anything/everything for my family. That was long winded. Thank you for sharing your blessings. May the God continue to bless you and your family.
