The document provides information on planting trees and shrubs, including their environmental, economic, and social benefits. It discusses choosing high quality stock, properly planting trees by finding the root flare and digging a wide hole, and post-planting care like watering, staking, mulching, and pruning to promote tree health. Planting trees correctly with their root flare at grade and not too deeply is emphasized, as is calling before digging to locate underground utilities.
- Tree roots typically grow shallow and spread widely, with most fine roots located near the soil surface. Only a small percentage of a tree's roots are contained within the root ball of a balled-and-burlapped (B&B) tree.
- When planting B&B trees, it is important to dig a wide planting hole, preferably 3 times the diameter of the root ball, to promote rapid root regeneration beyond the boundaries of the root ball and reduce transplant stress.
- Planting trees too deeply is a common mistake that can stress the tree and slow growth. The top of the root ball should be slightly above grade with the main root flare visible at soil level.

This helps retain soil moisture, prevents weed growth, and enhances soil structure. There are different types of mulching including organic mulches made from materials like bark and straw, and inorganic mulches like gravel and plastic. Mulching provides several benefits such as reducing evaporation, controlling weeds, preventing soil erosion, and improving soil conditions as mulches decompose. While mulching has advantages, there are also some limitations like keeping the soil too moist in poorly drained areas or encouraging pest problems. In conclusion, mulching is an important practice that can help farmers produce higher quality and quantity of crops while conserving resources
Build healthy soil by mixing in compost each season, adding mulch, and growing cover crops. Mulching helps retain soil moisture, adds organic matter, and prevents erosion. Organic materials like compost and mulch help form soil aggregates which create pores for air and water. Tillage, compaction, and raindrops can break down aggregates, so use mulch and grow plants in beds instead of rows.
Improving Soil Health discusses various methods to improve soil health including:
1. Adding organic matter to feed soil organisms, increase plant diversity, and improve soil conditions.
2. Protecting soil organisms through reduced tillage, minimized compaction, and refraining from chemical usage.
3. Maintaining a healthy rhizosphere where bacteria and other microorganisms interact symbiotically with plant roots to liberate nutrients.
4. Employing techniques like composting, green manuring, cover cropping, crop rotation, and use of biofertilizers to enrich the soil.

Mulching means it is a process of covering the soil and make more favorable conditions for plant growth, development.
Mulching is forming the protective layer around the plant. The practice of applying mulch is a very old and effective technique.
It is beneficial for plant health, while it is creating a microclimate around the plant root zone.
Mulch is any type of material that is spread over the soil surface around a tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Common mulching materials include wood chips, straw, leaves, or grass clippings.
Healthy Garden Soils and Drought Mitigation - Oklahoma State UniversityFujita64g
This document provides information on healthy garden soils and soil improvement methods, including adding organic matter, composting, cover crops, and fertilizers. Some key points:
1) Organic matter such as composted plant materials and manure enrich the soil, improve drainage and nutrient/water retention, and increase beneficial microorganisms.
2) Cover crops planted when the garden is idle increase organic matter, absorb nutrients, and some legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen when tilled under.
3) Composting yard and garden waste returns nutrients to the soil and can be done through slow or fast methods following guidelines for proper ingredients, carbon-nitrogen ratios, structure, moisture and temperature.
Trees can positively and negatively impact soil properties. Beneficial effects include increasing organic matter, nitrogen fixation, reducing losses, and improving soil physical properties. Soil under trees typically has higher carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However, trees can also negatively affect soils through allelopathy, acidification, and removing organic matter and nutrients during harvest. The right tree species, crop combinations, spatial arrangements, and management practices are needed to realize the benefits while minimizing negatives.
The document discusses different types of micro-irrigation systems that can be used for landscaping.
