The Farm Get's a Christmas Present!
What happens here
The presenter plants a Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree near the creek. He explains that mulberry trees thrive in wet areas like this. The strategic goal is to have the fruit fall into the creek, where wildlife will consume it and disperse the seeds through their droppings, naturally propagating more mulberry trees along the farm. He uses the post-hole digger to create a wider hole in the sandy loam soil, noting its excellent quality for mulberries. He carefully places the sapling, covers the roots with soil, compacts it with his foot, and creates a water-retaining divot.
Goal: Plant mulberry trees in a suitable wet environment to encourage natural propagation by wildlife.
