Dear Gardner's
For the first time I am trying a black polythene mulch of 1m squared
around
the base of a young fruit tree, as recommended to warm soil and suppress
weeds. (the tree is on a 25 degree slope)
However I am concerned that the tree will miss out on rain water, as it
will
run over the sheet and not pass into the soil. Do I need to make some
holes
in the plastic sheet or water the tree? Last year I did not have to water
without the mulch.
Thank you for your advice
Iain
