I planted a tree!! WoW!! This day planting a tree seems something almost esoteric. People should know how to plant a tree; it is simple and valuable for our environment. If they are fruit trees, they even offer us tasty fruit. In this blog, we are dealing with how to plant a tree. First, you need a sapling( to raise a sapling from seed is another blog!!) Find a space with sunlight and at least enough distance from other trees that when the tree grows, it does not grow underneath canopy trees.

Dig a hole of at least one and a half feet by one and a half feet(if your soil is very depleted of nutrients and stony, you may need a much bigger hole, even up to a meter. As you dig, the hole, place the first layer of topsoil on one pile and the remaining subsoil on another pile.

Add a half bucket of compost onto the topsoil and mix, return to the bottom of the hole, add another half bucket of compost to the subsoil and fill up the remainder of the hole, dig a pit loos take your sapling, remove the pot or plastic cover and plant

Dig a pit in the loose soil, remove the pot cover from the sapling and plant this sapling nic and deep, so that the roots are truely covered by the soil.

Water heavily and mulch the plant with dead leaves, banana leaves etc to reduce evaporation And soil temperature, you will soon realize that it very easy to plant trees and empty pockets of land, by your hand, can be transformed into vibrant food forest.
