Basic rules for planting trees and shrubs
Planting trees begins with the preparation of a place for planting. To do this, the territory is cleaned of debris, leveled, is engaged in improving the characteristics of the soil( fertilizer).These works will prevent from many unnecessary problems and damage to the cortex in the future.
Planting pits dig out a round shape with sheer walls. When digging a hole, the most fertile layer of the earth( the top layer) should be folded apart from the lower( less fertile) layer. Sleeping a hole, you must first use a fertile top layer, and then only the bottom one. In addition to preparing the site, there are also a number of mandatory rules that must be followed. We describe them below.
- The correct planting of trees is carried out using a dendroplane. He will find the best place for every bush and tree. Thus, you do not have to transplant them all the time, choosing the best option.
- Planting trees on the site should be carried out in accordance with the rules for the allocation of woody plants. That is, it is worthwhile to provide for additional territory, as the seedling will grow over time and can rest against the facade of the house, the path or the fence.
- The choice of plants is important by special catalogs. It is worth considering the "nature" of the future plant, how the shape of the crown is combined with the overall landscape design or even with the character of the owner. It is known that the falling branches slow down and calm down, while those who are ascending tend to be active and dynamic.
- It is necessary to comply with the conditions of agricultural technology. This means that you need to collect in groups of those or other shrubs or trees that have similar growing conditions.
- It is important to observe the proportions and harmony of space, and it will also be nice if all this will be combined with the design of the house( for a good façade many types of plaster are presented).On many portals there are videos. Planting trees, videos of which clearly shows the process, allows you to create original landscape designs that have a beautiful appearance both in summer and in winter.
technology When the pit for planting has been prepared, proceed to the plant installation phase. It is necessary to provide that the position of the root neck( the thickening of the base of the trunk, which passes into the roots) should be correct. Ideally, it should be at the level of the soil, but not buried. If it is still deep, release it! Also after installation, check that the plant was directed to the right side and grew strictly vertical.
There is often a need for a garter. Such artificial support is used in the first few years after the planting, until the tree or shrub independently fixes itself on the soil. In this case, use an elastic hose and 2 pegs, which are hammered near the pit. "Please note that when planting trees and shrubs on a site, a certain distance between plants should be observed."
Care for young plantations
The first few weeks are watching the correct inclination of the seedling. As already mentioned above, pegs are placed for this purpose. To protect the plant from mechanical damage, sunburn and pests, the trunks are whitewashed with garden whitewash or treated with a solution of copper sulfate. "It's not recommended to use pure lime!".
In summer hot days it is important to ensure that the land does not dry up. Therefore, it is worthwhile watering the seedling with water. And also you can fill the soil with sawdust, peat, chopped chopped bark or any other loose composition. In many instructions there are pictures, planting trees on which is depicted in stages. This will greatly simplify the work process.
