Top Tree Picks for Sandy Soil: Eastern Red Cedar and Black Pine
Lisa recommends Eastern Red Cedar for its "drought tolerance and low maintenance," and Black Pine for its "visual appeal and hardiness." Both thrive in sandy, high-drainage areas. Eastern Red Cedar requires minimal care, while Black Pine needs some protection when young. Choose drought-resistant trees for sandy soils. -
Annual Mulching: Is It Necessary for Your Garden?
Lisa advises that while mulching supports garden health, annual application isn't always needed. "If your mulch is still doing its job by suppressing weeds and retaining moisture," a fresh layer may not be necessary. Over-mulching can harm plants. Check mulch depth in spring; if it's 2–3 inches and not compacted, a light rake may suffice. -
Expert Tips: Watering Fruit Trees for Optimal Health
Lisa emphasizes that proper watering is crucial for fruit tree health, supporting root and fruit development. "Young trees need frequent watering," she notes, while established ones require weekly deep soaks. Citrus trees prefer well-drained soil, whereas berry shrubs need regular watering. Signs of underwatering include wilting leaves, while overwatering can cause yellowing leaves and root rot.
