i haven't been at this long enough to say whether it's good or not, but
here's what i have in my pear guild. comfrey, oregano, lemon balm, sage,
lavender, and echinacea. the comfrey is not doing well because i believe the
sun is too harsh on it and and one of the lavender plants died. everything
suffered from drought this summer, but overall they all seem to be happy
together. it is situated on a steep southern slope with a native rock
retaining wall, all mulched with old hay. the pear itself is too young to
bear but i am hoping next year will be fruitfull. this may not be what you
wanted to know, but it's a start and i'd sure like to hear how others are
doing it, too. my plans are to terrace this entire hillside eventually, but
the going is very slow because i work away from home too much.
