Hello Peter, you've mentioned re-using the soil several times in your videos. How do you know when you can reuse it? Are there easy ways you can tell?

@Robert_McGarry_Poems 3 жыл бұрын

If it's not compacted down to clay, it should be fine. Some people like to display with fancy top soil, or moss. That's just the top layer. If you buy amended soil, and do not fertilize, then it may still be beneficial to mix it with new amended soil for the micro nutrients. Otherwise, go for it. Some varieties like compact soil. Oaks are one of them, those roots...

@h.b.1421 3 жыл бұрын

good luck and lots of happy memories on your journey. It is better to start with a few, but diverse, specimens of trees than to never start at all. At the beginning it has to be nothing fancy or old and expensive, but to learn how to care for your trees and be patient and to hear and watch the trees to tell you what you both can do and which way you can go to grow. Time will give you the experience with more and more trees to work with and to not only keep them alive but to let them thrive. And remember there is no time but today to start regardless of age. You can start at a few years old or when you are grey or bald and anytime in between
