How to Plant a Tree In Easy Steps

How to plant a tree isn’t always a simple as it may seem. If you want to have that tree grow and survive for a long period of time, there are some important steps which you should follow to ensure you do have success when you plant a new tree.

How To Plant a Tree

Step 1: Planting Season – You should choose the correct time of the year to plant a tree. Late spring or summertime are not good due to the fact that the heat can stress it and may cause it to whither and die. For best results, the best time of the year to plant a tree is in fall or early spring.

Step 2: Digging Requirements and Guidelines – Make sure to check with any local diggers hotlines to make sure you do not cut an electric, gas, cable, or phone line! This could prove to be both dangerous and costly! Also check with your local officials to see if there are any other guidelines or regulations which you need to follow.

Step 3: Choosing the Right Tree – Do a little research into local native species in your area. Native species will ultimately do better and fit in with the local eco-system as well.

Step 4: Digging the Hole: Preparing a hole for the tree can be time consuming. Take your shovel and dig your hole 2 to 3 times that of the root balls width,

Winter Birds How to Help Prepare Wild Birds for the Cold Winter Months

Winter birds, for when autumn progresses and you know winter will soon be setting in, it’s time to prepare wild birds for the cold ahead. Here are some tips for preparing these birds for the upcoming hard winter months ahead.

* Take down hummingbird feeders. Hummingbirds migrate, but if you leave your sugar-water feeder up past the time when hummingbirds migrate, they may neglect to fly south. The presence of a food source can fool the hummingbirds into staying in a climate too cold for them.

* Hang up bird feeders. Native birds will take a little while to recognize the food source you’re offering, so hanging up feeders in fall is a good way to show them where they can find food when winter sets in. If you want to build your own bird feeder, autumn is the time. Continue Reading Winter Birds How to Help Prepare Wild Birds for the Cold Winter Months Here
