VIDEO: Soft Landing Plantings ???with Flock Finger Lakes!

/in ,

Watch Summer Raye Oakes @FlockFingerLakes as she talks about a unique approach for plantings under trees.

Instead of mulching around your trees, Summer suggests planting what is known as a soft landing planting around strategic trees in the landscape. The idea is to plant native herbaceous plant species that provide a “Soft landing” plus critical shelter for insects like moths, butterflies, beetles, etc. to pupae as they fall from trees.

This practice boosts the variety of insects and, in turn, has a positive impact on the growth of bird populations. Additionally, strategic plantings beneath trees serve as a natural barrier, preventing the intrusion of undesirable weeds or deep-rooted grasses.

In the video above Summer uses Espoma Organic Bulb-tone when planting Trillium around her Locust tree. We also recommend using Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus when planting to help give your plant the nutrients it needs to succeed in its new environment.

VIDEO: How to Pot a Japanese Maple in a Container || Flock Finger Lakes

/in

Watch as Summer Rayne Oakes @FlockFingerLakes demonstrates how to plant a Japanese Maple tree in a container.

Japanese Maples prefer a more neutral to slightly acidic soil pH (5.5 – 6.5 pH). Summer uses Espoma Organic Potting Soil Mix to provide the proper growing medium and uses Espoma Organic Soil Acidifier and Espoma Organic Holly-tone to feed and promote more acidic soil conditions.

If your soil already has the proper soil Ph then we recommend using Espoma Organic Tree-tone when fertilizing your tree. For all plantings, we also recommend using Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus.
