Adding some edible landscaping to the Farm
What happens here
The presenter positions the willow oak sapling in the 22-inch deep hole. He then adds several handfuls of rich, fluffy garden soil from a bucket around the tree's roots, ensuring good contact. He backfills with some of the original clay soil from the hole, then creates a small basin around the tree to retain water. Finally, he pours a full 5-gallon bucket of pond water into the basin to deeply water the newly planted tree.
Goal: Securely plant the willow oak sapling and provide initial hydration for establishment.
