 Re: Orchard question
I was looking at that region on Google Earth for fun, and noticed you could be anywhere along what looks like a couple of hundred miles. I didn't realize the Delaware was along the border for such a long ways. Reminds me of how the Columbia splits Oregon and Washington.
If you do your project in winter - like if I was doing it - my main concern would be cuasing a slope of loose dirt and mud that would wash downhill, and compacting the soil.
Sometimes people will line the downhill side with a row of hay bails, sometimes split to make then stretch further, to catch some sediment.
Think it woud become mucky?
If so, spring might be better when soil is less wet, even if you have to delay the entire completion by a couple of seasons.
Can't say for certain, but if its rainy in winter like it is here, that's what comes to mind. |
