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
