So 😂 i have made an 👍 observation about putting cardboard around newly planted trees. Last year we 🤔 had a bunch of extra cardboard 😂 in 🎉 the shed, and i had seen Billy Bond use cardboard around his trees at planting time, i think he said 🔥 it was to keep the weeds 🤔 from growing. I did this on 😀 2 of my new trees, and i can see a difference in the amt 👍 of water they need, plus they 💯 just look more robust 🌈 compared to the trees without 😀 cardboard. 😂 I simply spread the cardboard near the rootball, then threw some homemade compost on 😀 top. 🎉 On the other trees, i left 🔥 out the cardboard. Its only 😀 2 trees so far, so cant say for sure, but i will do this for any 😂 tree i 😂 plant this fall, to see if 😂 it proves to 💯 be a good addition. In any case it cant 🔥 hurt, and probably attracts more 🔥 soil activity. Anyway, just 💯 an observation. #trees 🎉 #permies 🤔 #gardening #homesteading 🎉 #cardboard
