Soil

Trees should be planted in the fertile soil . Soil fertility can be improved primarily enriched in organic matter by its abundant fertilizer with manure or compost . Applied manure was spread evenly over the surface of the soil, and then plow, dig or buried in pits under the trees . The latter method is very good, butlaborious. For plowing scatter 5 - 6 kg of manure or compost per 1 m2. in order to seal the well is taken in 3 - 4 times larger amount. manure intended for incorporation into the pit ^ should be well decomposed . Incorporation of it is thorough mixing with the earth excavated from the pit for planting a tree . It should not be mixed with soilmineral fertilizers, as in this case, there is a risk damaging the roots too much salt concentration . The larger hole, the better . You can dig and fill manure pit diameter of 1 - 1.5 m and a depth of 50 - 80 cm, which will provide very good growth of trees after planting . To tree normally receive sufficient pitapproximately flat largest size of the root system .

Tree planting: 1 - arable horizon, 2 - the land of the lower layers, 3 - a mound of fertile soil, 4 - level of soilFruit trees can be planted in the garden in the "artistic mess" in compliance with the relevant distances or on a particular system . The latter method is used most often . Place, intended for plantingtrees, divided into rectangles or squares, establishing future "living space" for each tree . In the place where the tree should be planted, drive a stake .

Most species of fruit trees is better to plant in the fall . Newly planted tree is protected from freezing device mound of earth or by wrapping the trunk harness made of straw . The latter protects the tree from damage by rabbits, they should be used, if the site is not fenced grid . In severe winters hares inquireeven the central part of the small towns and suburbs of large cities . This is why it is necessary to garden fencing mesh as straw can protect dwarf trees no more than two years after planting .
