Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Harvey Ussery <harvey@themodernhomestead.us>]

An online search revealed plenty of sources for seeds of pea shrub. 
However, I wanted a chance to get at least a small harvest this fall, 
before deadline for my book, so maybe include actual experience feeding. 
The only started plants I could find were from Raintree

I bought six, bare root, potted them up for rooting before setting them 
out. Will probably experiment with planting them in three different 
locations.
