@Jonas Geissbühler Thanks for the feedback yep pretty sure artemisia abronatum should be doing a similar job!

Sorry took me a while to get to this one ! Yes that is what changes the most betwen practicioners, some plant one line, some 2 or even 3 together on the same line. But it hsows this is really dependent on context ! I find If planting only one line the size of the rows doesn't really matter as long as the mulch is kicked as close to the trees as possible. I like 4 to 6m between fruit production lines but of course we get a lot from having support interrows or as well having these interows filled with shorter lived perennial crops such as berries, grapes, artichokes, jerusalem artichoke, asparagus ect...as well they can be filled with support species. Different deal if we're going for annuals in between ! And if we're just going for pasture for animals to graze, different too. I think that in the first couple years, we'd benefit much more from cutting the grass and adding it on to the rows - that especially for brittle climates. And then the trees will do the job of improving the grasses then let the animals do the job of grazing that grass !

@Jason van Alphen Yes good at least that they are spaced out alternating ! Can work to keep them more dwarf like but requires more pruning

@Jason van Alphen Yes for sure ! Better than the dic is the rotovator I find to get a really loose soil ! But not always available I understand

@Dimitris Tsigopoulos Thanks a lot, Glad it could be useful !

@Carlos Nicole Gallart Thanks !
