As the world turns. I find my self at a spiritual retreat donating my time doing much needed maintenance on their trees for room and board OM.
Anyway safety pruning the many hazards that are everywhere I can handle. Beautify the landscape, trimming the fruit trees, some dicey removals, got it.
The major and most severe problem is an oak grove where small cabins have been built. Machanical damage, trenching, tenting, people walking every where. This whole part of the state has been plagued by drought and most these oaks are badly stressed anyway.
My plan is to use an aurger bit and go around the drip line adding soil amendments, there is an abundance of high quality compost, I'm already brewing compost tea. I'm planing kn useing a big hand sprayer to applie ut. The 4 in. Of mulch around trees and rope off paths to control foot traffic. Think my plan is feasible? Any advice? I add some photos later
