We began to planted trees as soon as we got to school .some students dug the holes .Some students put the trees into the holes.
Some students put the earth back to the holes.Then we pushed the earth hard with our feet .At last we watered the trees as much as possible.
From then on we looked after the trees carefully and the trees grew very well .It made our shcool more beautiful .And How happy we are !
Today is The Tree Planting Day,I and my classmates go to park to plating trees.Why we planting trees?The zoology systom of China is very bad .If you know why Japan is very development than China,Because they have never use there own resource of trees.Now the tree resource of China is very poor,so we must to plant trees.How we can planting trees?We must have young trees and water.First of all,we must make a hole,then we will take the tree into the hole,at last we must water it.By planting trees,The everement of China will be better,and we will have a better fulture!
Spring is warm,it's the best time to plant trees.Below is an instruction to follow:
Choose at least a five to six-foot tree grown to nursery standards.
Select a site with enough room for roots and branches to reach full size.Avoid overhead and underground utilities.
Prepare a planting area as deep as the root ball and three to five times its diameter by loosening the soil.Dig a hole in the middle of the area.In heavy clay soil,plant 2-3 inches above the base of the trunk flare (where the roots meet the main stem) rather than at or below the original growing level.If the soil is very sandy,then plant at grade so that the soil at the top of the root ball doesn't erode or dry out.Overall,plant the root ball so that once some settling of the soil occurs,the trunk FLARE is at grade level.
Use water to settle soil and remove air pockets in planting area.
Stake the tree to flex with the wind only if tree is unable to stand up to wind.
Spread a two to three inch layer of mulch on entire area,but not within six inches of tree trunk.
