In this post Kimberly is going to explain how we planted our second tree in the new Village School Orchard!
Chris,
Susie, Toby, and I took turns digging a hole for the second tree of our
orchard. (right)
Umm, I have
no idea what I was doing – but Chris and Toby were topping the soil around the
tree with mulch. You do this after
you backfill the soil into the hole around the tree because mulch attracts
sunlight, since it’s dark in color, to keep the tree warm during cold weather. (left)
Here I am,
as happy as a clam, watering the tree.
This is our
finished, mulched tree. Thanks to
my awesome watering skills, the tree will have plenty of water over the
weekend, as well as plenty of mulch to keep it warm over the cold weekend,
thanks to Toby and Chris. (below)
