"Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow wrote: snp :-)) Well I'd agree about the first two but after gardening for 30 years or more and still classing myself as very much a "Learner", I'll continue to give him a chance to improve in the latter category. I'm always amazed at how much I can still learn form other gardeners, from evey garden I visit or every gardening publication I pick up. My husband, who has been in the business or associated with it for 60 years, says that an old gardener once told him to listen to the old chaps when they start apparently rambling on about 'the old days'. He said that every now and again you'll pick up some little gem of information that you didn't know before and that will make your patience worthwhile. Ray says he's found that to be true time after time. The placing of a stone slab beneath an apple tree when planting it was just one, but I doubt anyone does that now! Yes. I'd have to agree. It always make me think of the old military adage of "time spent in reconaissance is never wasted." But to that rock under the apple tree - do you put it under the tree as it's being planted or once it's been planteed as a form of mulch to prevent drying out. If it's under the newly planted tree, is its aim to spread the roots or??????? |

from "Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow contains these words: after gardening for 30 years or more and still classing myself as very much a "Learner", I'll continue to give him a chance to improve in the latter category. No worries, Fran. Whatever you don't know about plants and gardening in your own back yard, Virek will be happy to instruct you. Mieow! |

I would imagine it must be of a size that would allow the roots to go over the edge and spread outwards into the soil. The stone's job is to stop the roots just going straight down. If you think of the size of canopy of some apple trees, it makes sense. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |
