Greenville, KY

It was decided that we would not continue planting trees in between the forests of the planned forest garden area. We dug a hole in an area where the soil had started to become remineralized. It was here that we heeled in the peach and pear trees. In a pre-existing hole we heeled in the trees from the Kentucky Department of Forestry. Inside of the holes Kelp Meal, Earthworm castings, banana peels, oat groats, molasses, and yogurt were added.
