Hi Brian,

I'm not too sure of the "correct" thiong to do, but I successfully grew a
heap of spinach and silverbeet around my lime, lemon and orange trees. Also
a friend put a heap of compost around hers and she grew a heaps of
"volunteer" cherrt toms.

Can't be too bad for the trees either as her (at least) are going great.
Mine are a different matter, but I don't think the plantings around the base
contributed to this - I have a leaf miner problem!

Cheers,
MC

Hi,
I have just planted a Lime tree and wondered if there was anything
anyone would recommend be planted around the base. I have been told not to
plant anything to avoid root competetion, is this correct?

thanks
Brian
