Bare Earth Around Young Trees
In Spring 2007 I planted eight bare-root saplings in our
lawn. Followed advice and created a metre diameter bare area around each. But several times the trees have appeared sickly. We have quite a thin soil over compact clay subsoil and therefore the roots tend the spread through the top few inches of soil only. I suspect that I am cutting through the new roots when I periodically recut the edges of the bare circle around each tree . Has anyone found a way of maintaining the bare soil around trees without cutting their spreading roots? Davy |
