Yes grown from seed. A lot of hard work and patience. We mix sawdust with soil mulch and horse poo. Spruce are doing well considering the weather this season -14.6C

 

Small scale at present so can use rainwater in dry conditions.

 

Just wondering if you have noticed any "weed seed" germination from the use of horse poo with your potting mix?.

Not at present as we top up the all the black bags from first planting when the mixture has settled with rain and weight. Then at planting out use a sawdust mulch to cover close to the trees.

 

I have some more to do this week so will take some pictures. Growth rates with the horse poo is staggering.
