Planting a Pecan Orchard
Since music camp, Tim and Andy have been very busy preparing and planting a Pecan orchard. More than 50 trees are being taken from their pots and put in carefully prepared soil this week. Using the backhoe, a deep hole is dug and filled with topsoil, in before the tree is planted. A generous amount of mulch is then put around the base of the tree to keep in moisture during the dry spells. Below are a few snapshots of the work in progress.
