Seedlings

The tree planting crew has left us with a gift! At the back of the Burton's house (enter Rainbow Street side) there are 3 boxes with seedlings: spruce, fir, and pine. Help yourselves! Then be sure to close the boxes and cover with the tarp to keep them cool.

Here are some steps for planting seedlings:
- Dig a hole wide and deep enough to cover the root system, and remove rocks and other debris from hole
- Handle seedlings by the base of the stem
- Lower gently into hole, being careful not to bend roots
- Cover with soil and tap with toe to remove air pockets.
- Create a mulched area around the tree. Wood chips, pine and needles work well
