My grandma (in Ukraine) planted walnut tree near old septic place, she did not use chemicals. That tree was huge and productive.
My entire lot with the house on it is only 50 by 100 feet. I planted single sour cherry tree, no space for more. No fruit yet.
From my childhood, I can still taste fresh peaches picked at my grandma place. Juices running along your arm as you bite into it.
Good luck with all your planting. It is going to be lots of work that will pay hopefully with good produce. Enjoy.
So, I feel sort of silly but I noticed today that what I thought were hickory are actually black walnuts.
Luckily, none real close to my garden areas. I've been chopping little volunteers around the house all week.
I started a new thread regarding my soil tests.
