450 Trees Planted (with a success rate of 99.33%).

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

After the water channels were dug by the JCB, we [my team and about 8 labourers] planted 450 trees mostly around the perimeter wall of the farm.

We were kindly shown by the seller of the trees how to plant them and we were advised that we would know if the trees had taken to the new soil within a few days, as otherwise they would start drying out.

Well… after about a week we only noticed about 3 trees that seemed to be drying out, out of the 450 total planted trees!

I’ve left my team to look after the trees and I hope that all the ones that have taken to the new soil have a health and long life.

Thank you to all who helped plant and water the trees whilst I was there.
