you’re interested how do you plant the
you’re interested how do you plant the tree come on this way come on follow me
tree come on this way come on follow me
tree come on this way come on follow me come on it’s tree planting time so this
come on it’s tree planting time so this
come on it’s tree planting time so this is my tree stash these are all trees
is my tree stash these are all trees
is my tree stash these are all trees that I started from seed over the years
that I started from seed over the years
that I started from seed over the years this is a Chinese chestnut tree and this
this is a Chinese chestnut tree and this
this is a Chinese chestnut tree and this is what I’m gonna show you how to plant
is what I’m gonna show you how to plant
is what I’m gonna show you how to plant today so first thing you got to do is
today so first thing you got to do is
today so first thing you got to do is select a select an area a planting area
select a select an area a planting area
select a select an area a planting area for the tree to grow where there’s full
for the tree to grow where there’s full
for the tree to grow where there’s full Sun SPOT so it gives this tree plenty of
Sun SPOT so it gives this tree plenty of
Sun SPOT so it gives this tree plenty of solar energy to carry out its
solar energy to carry out its
solar energy to carry out its photosynthesis and make Chinese
photosynthesis and make Chinese
photosynthesis and make Chinese chestnuts eventually so let’s go ahead
chestnuts eventually so let’s go ahead
chestnuts eventually so let’s go ahead and stick it right here did I mention
and stick it right here did I mention
and stick it right here did I mention that I’m a space wizard so you want to
that I’m a space wizard so you want to
that I’m a space wizard so you want to put the tree this deep in the ground
put the tree this deep in the ground
put the tree this deep in the ground right so you don’t want to plant you
right so you don’t want to plant you
right so you don’t want to plant you know have the soil up here down here you
know have the soil up here down here you
know have the soil up here down here you want the soil line in the earth to be
want the soil line in the earth to be
want the soil line in the earth to be the exact same level as it is in the in
the exact same level as it is in the in
the exact same level as it is in the in the pot you want the root ball to sit
the pot you want the root ball to sit
the pot you want the root ball to sit flush with the top of the soil yeah see
flush with the top of the soil yeah see
flush with the top of the soil yeah see the hole is about the same depth as the
the hole is about the same depth as the
the hole is about the same depth as the root ball itself so that that seems to
root ball itself so that that seems to
root ball itself so that that seems to you know be adequate so a soil amendment
you know be adequate so a soil amendment
you know be adequate so a soil amendment is anything that increases the nutrient
is anything that increases the nutrient
is anything that increases the nutrient content or the quality of the texture of
content or the quality of the texture of
content or the quality of the texture of the soil I prefer to just get a lot of
the soil I prefer to just get a lot of
the soil I prefer to just get a lot of mulch a lot of organic matter and put
mulch a lot of organic matter and put
mulch a lot of organic matter and put that around
that around
that around as it’s growing and let the earthworms
as it’s growing and let the earthworms
as it’s growing and let the earthworms and stuff take that or damage my head
and stuff take that or damage my head
and stuff take that or damage my head down to the soil and I let that speed
down to the soil and I let that speed
down to the soil and I let that speed beat the tree so let’s go ahead and get
beat the tree so let’s go ahead and get
beat the tree so let’s go ahead and get some water water this tree you want to
some water water this tree you want to
some water water this tree you want to give your trees a lot of water when you
give your trees a lot of water when you
give your trees a lot of water when you first plant them that help to settle
first plant them that help to settle
first plant them that help to settle down all the little air pockets and
down all the little air pockets and
down all the little air pockets and clumps of soil and stuff you know just
clumps of soil and stuff you know just
clumps of soil and stuff you know just kind of kick to get to the root ball to
kind of kick to get to the root ball to
kind of kick to get to the root ball to settle down here
we write last step is get the tree some
we write last step is get the tree some mulch some people would only give their
mulch some people would only give their
mulch some people would only give their tree life you know that much mulch or
tree life you know that much mulch or
tree life you know that much mulch or something but I like to do quite a bit
something but I like to do quite a bit
something but I like to do quite a bit more I like to do a lot of mulch gonna
more I like to do a lot of mulch gonna
more I like to do a lot of mulch gonna have too much mulch and then when you
have too much mulch and then when you
have too much mulch and then when you put mulch on it shields the soil from
put mulch on it shields the soil from
put mulch on it shields the soil from the Sun so that the water can actually
the Sun so that the water can actually
the Sun so that the water can actually just kind of hang out in the soil for a
just kind of hang out in the soil for a
just kind of hang out in the soil for a while and the tree can actually drink
while and the tree can actually drink
while and the tree can actually drink the water said if it’s dry now another
the water said if it’s dry now another
the water said if it’s dry now another thing is that it adds mulch adds organic
thing is that it adds mulch adds organic
thing is that it adds mulch adds organic matter to the soil organic matter it
matter to the soil organic matter it
matter to the soil organic matter it increases the carbon content of the soil
increases the carbon content of the soil
increases the carbon content of the soil and the higher the carbon content the
and the higher the carbon content the
and the higher the carbon content the better the soil is that hold it onto
better the soil is that hold it onto
better the soil is that hold it onto water so make sure it’s hot out you give
water so make sure it’s hot out you give
water so make sure it’s hot out you give you your tree plenty of water maybe a
you your tree plenty of water maybe a
you your tree plenty of water maybe a bucket of water a week like a
bucket of water a week like a
bucket of water a week like a five-gallon bucket water in the summer
five-gallon bucket water in the summer
five-gallon bucket water in the summer it’s hot it’ll grow and make food for
it’s hot it’ll grow and make food for
