Hello Tom:
I guess this tree turned toward the wind as there
is a more prevalent on shore breeze in the afternoons and does
indeed
lean into the wind. I'll leave that alone &
thanks....
With the way cardboard is constructed with glues
and epoxies and unless it's soy bean ink, I thought I would forego
the
suggestions of cardboard & newspaper. I opted
for pine bark mulch and will try to keep a fair amount of nitrogen on
the
mulch to speed the process of breakdown.
I whipped some sections and used a small shovel and
lifted sod in others. This was great because after I could see what
was going on at soil level, I probed with a broom
handle and added more mycorrhizae, a goodly amount of woodash and
some compost and then finished off with a 2" layer
of mulch and then sprayed the entire area with 5 gallons of water
soluble
fertilizer and kelp. The tree in just a few hours
of this is actually looking heartier????
Thank you everyone for taking your time with this,
the information was very valuable to me and I thank you...
Best of growing,
~Gianni
