Slowly burying the entire orchard floor with leaves! 13 loads now! I love using leaves for mulch on the orchard floor, it smoothers the competition and builds organic matter! The only thing to remember when using leaves, it certainly makes a heavy mat, so be careful when using over bulbs, garlic and seeds!... He's a quote from a friend about using leaves for mulch! "Leaf mats: good for forest floors...nuisance for industrious humans with a short growing season."

Finally #transplanting my #cuttings for the winter! Very #excited about the #success! Look at the #amazing #roots! Bring on more #propagation and #locallygrown #fruittrees!

It’s time for another #fruityfactfriday in #northernontario with Lewis Hardy Fruit Trees! #didyouknow that #blueberries grow best in #acidicsoil? Soils which have a #pH below 6.5 and are rich in #organic matter will help them #thrive. Those fine #roots need #aeration, making poor drainage or a clay texture poorly suited for #blueberry production!

Finally found a chore around the #orchard that the little guy can #help with! PS I still love swimming in the piles of leaves too!

Had to #sacrifice the #vegetable #garden for more nursery beds! Need to get to work preparing more land!

Definitely not #leaves! Anyone recognize these #roots? Are they pretty #flowers? Or something #invasive? Gotta decide to #plant or #incinerate?
