 Re: Practices With Tree Spade
I'd certainly say decompacting (if req'd) the vicinity.
When we put in some large poincianas with a bobcat I made the hole twice the size and got a 50/50 mix happening of the original soil and new sandy/loam/garden mix. Also the new hole was a little deeper and we filled the bottom with rubble and same 50/50 mix. Hate to have a well of water drown the tree, was clay soil. Trees are fine, grew like buggery.
We roughed up and made the mix with the backhoe bucket excavator thingy.
Nice mulch ring on top. Trees actually finished up maybe 2" above grade on a slightly domed top with 3m dia mulch circles. |
