Step one: Before Planting

Ever wondered how we decide which tree species we can plant according to the type of soil we have available?

Well, the first step is to make a clear soil analysis. The best way to do this is by digging several trial pits in the ground so we can get a better understanding of the soil composition. This will help us determine which types of trees will thrive in that particular location.

Once we have a good understanding of the soil, we can start researching different tree species that are compatible with those conditions. There are many factors to consider, such as the climate, the amount of sunlight, water drainage, wind, rainfall, biodiversity, etc.

When choosing trees, it is important to select ones that are native or naturalised in the area. Native/Naturalised trees are more likely to be adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, and they will also provide food and habitat for wildlife.

Planting trees is a great way to improve the environment and enhance agricultural yields. By taking the time to choose the right trees for a specific area and climate, we can ensure that they will thrive for many years to come.
