Just moved onto 2.5 acres and am planning my approach. I have a good handle on guilds, but with my annual veg garden I am wondering: how close would a nitrogen fixer need to be to have a positive impact?
I’d like to try lead plant or baptisia minor to fix nitrogen for the annuals, but I’m not sure how close I’d need to get them. If I plant in fairly standard rows 30″ wide with 18″ rows between, would planting some in every other row have the impact I”m looking for? Or would I need to plant them every 2nd or 3rd plant in every row?
I don’t feel like I’m explaining this super well, but hopefully you catch my meaning.

Social media sites have become crucial tools for the sale of endangered species and platforms should do more to combat it, say experts
When the baby parrots were delivered to Alice Soares de Oliveira’s desk they had no feathers and could barely open their eyes. Housed in a dirty cardboard box, the pair were barely a month old, and showed signs of underfeeding.
The parrots – along with a pair of young toucans that arrived just under a month later – were victims of wildlife traffickers. Snatched by poachers, perhaps from their mother’s nest, they were all advertised for sale on social media.

Hey y’all, my boyfriend and I are starting to plan our next trip exploring states we are wanting to settle down in.
We are hoping to connect with individuals that live in the area and are willing to host and or show us around.
We are traveling through north Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Southern Pennsylvania. We are heading out at the start of the new year this January.
We are interested in finding an area with friendly communities (does not have to be an established intentional community) that we can join.
If you are interested in connecting, please send me a personal message and we can set something up!
