I'm actually not even certain how to harvest. I guess the greens can be used as green onions, but do you eat the sets at the top? Or is there a bulb in the ground? (something something meme...but now I'm too afraid to ask)

I, too, consider myself an anti-gardener. My long term goal is a good forest. In the meantime while the fruit trees grow I'm not relying too much on production and focusing on soil building, and increasing insects.

I'm not mowing this year, and I left the acorns and leaf litter over the winter. Not sure if it's confirmation bias, but it feels like I have more lightning bugs than last year. I know my yard has enough to support a number of snakes, rabbits and possums; a box turtle; and at night when I go out with my headlamp, it's a sea of wolf spider eyes glaring back at me!

Here's hoping! Just keep mulching & composting!

Thanks! Seems like edits/updates propagate pretty slowly... Could also be crappy internet out in the stix lol

Essentially, humans only exist because we learned over millennia how to manage hedges, trees and forests across generations through rotational harvesting by coppice and pollard.
