    Point 1. iwas quoting ted green who told me not to feed my 1270 veteran oak tree but put a bucket of worms under woodchip mulch. point 2. Ithink mike dewhurst has sold eastwoods and retired.
  21. David oakman
    The cardboard is a good idea but the most important thing you need is a bucket of worms they will do all the work of decompaction and let the nutrient down to the roots.

    I have got a 1883 forestry book and the victorians when transplanting used to dig round half the tree cutting all roots fill back up with compost,in the next year do the next half. Then lift the following year and the root system will be a mass of fibous roots and the trees nearly allways survived. plenty of cheap labour then.
