My wife and I have 2 acres of land certified organic and this spring will be our first crop planted on it. We do not have a lot of time to plant crops on this plot as we have a grain farm as well. What I thought we could do is plant some shrub type/tree type medicinal herbs that may require less work, at least this first spring.Conrad asked me to help make some comments regarding a "shrub type/tree type medicinal herbs." For Saskatchewan that's easy; I would suggest Ginkgo biloba. Sea buckthorn is being cultivated extensively in Manitoba, and there may some growers in Saskatchewan.
Can you suggest any such shrub/tree/bush type of medicinal herb that may work for us. This plot is in the middle of a larger bush in the parklands of East Central Saskatchewan. We thought of planting a hedge around the plot or putting up a fence for protection from deer and rabbits.
Any suggestions as to a hedge or would fence be better? We realize that it may take a few years have a harvest off the tree/shrub type medicinals. Also, what marketable herbs may be wildcrafted from this area? We are approximately thirty miles south east of Yorkton. Thank you for your time.
