I'm planting some trees. I've got one small area that is a lane. It's
got some space on the side of the lane maybe 100' long. I plowed up 4" wide strips on either side of the lane (back aways from the lane) and planted pecan and black walnut seeds every 3 paces, to be thinned
later. That's assuming they sprout ok.
I've got a couple areas in the big pasture that want to erode. I'm thinking about planting rows of trees in the bottom areas that water
runs toward to create a natural division and hold the soil. I want
to plant something otherwise useful. I'm thinking about black locust.
I don't have any locust on the place, but it grows nearby. It's supposed to be fast to grow. It is a great honey plant. Also rot resistant and good firewood. Once I get some going it can be propagated easily. I've read that it's invasive, but my goats would take care of any coming up in the pasture.
Anyone have any thoughts on black locust?
