Back to Dr. Tree Isn't it amazing what some serious rain can do for improving your outlook on life!! It has also improved the outlook for successful tree planting. A few weeks ago I wrote an article about getting those trees in the ground soon before the soil dries out. Well you can sit back and relax a little bit longer now. With the recent rains the topsoil is saturated and, even better, the subsoil is too. In fact, a local Boonah farmer described their ground as spewy the other day. Strewth, I hadn't heard that most scientific of terms for years! And when the subsoil is spewy, it will take a lot more time for the complete soil profile to dry out and stress out the young tree seedlings come this summer.
