Default The Mother Of All Droughts

Note: The biggest problem with trees during drought on urban trees is over
watering. Water just enough to moisten the absorbing roots in the upper 4"
of soil.

Nurse logs in forest and tree farms are water reservoirs for trees during
dry times. I.e., once they have become in a sponge form with soil contact.
The more nurse logs the better it is for trees and associates.


Since this is a garden group, it's bush's fault
