GROUND PREPARATION
Prepare Your Land for Successful Tree Planting!
The success of tree planting begins with thorough ground preparation. Properly preparing the soil is essential to the survival of your trees, as well as for laying a weed barrier. When the ground isn't adequately prepared, it can be extremely challenging—if not impossible—for the NRD team to complete the planting process effectively.
This brochure provides detailed guidance on preparing your land for tree planting and weed barrier installation. Ground Prep Brochure
What Does a Properly Prepared Site Look Like?
The ground should be tilled at least 8” to 10” deep, ideally in the Fall before planting. The site is ready when it’s in a condition suitable for growing garden vegetables.
Landowner's Responsibility
While the NRD will contact “Diggers Hotline,” it's the landowner's responsibility to place the white marking flags to indicate the rows according to the NRCS planting plan.
GIRDLING
As your trees grow, it's important to cut the fabric back to allow the trunk to have sufficient space and to prevent girdling. Girdling Video
