Planning an orchard
Monia
7 years ago
I'm a first time gardener and taking on an orchard no less : o I want to plant our own trees and have decided that espaliating them would be our best option. Does this look right though : 3m between rows of trees. 3m between individual trees in the rows. Can I group all the same trees next to eachother or are there any trees that should NOT be planted close to any others ?
Also, we have clay soil so I will mix in gypsum with the compost and make a "doughnut" of straw around the raised base.
Anything else you can think of ?
