Keep an eye out

This week is all about finding the right tree base for you.

Have a read through these factors that could influence your choice and start keeping an eye out for The One.

1. Convenient for you - your garden will need to be watered regularly. If you’re lucky there will be a suitable tree right on your doorstep. If not, think about your regular routes. This could be on the way to your main shop, a friend or relative’s house, a club, school or work or on your usual dog walking route.

2. In need of some tlc - areas that look cared for are less likely to attract fly-tipping. Help transform an uncared for space. Choose an area prone to fly-tipping and make a statement!

3. Sunlight - our seedlings won’t have deep roots for a while and will also have a thirsty tree to compete with! Help them out by choosing a tree base that’s in the shade for part of the afternoon. This will depend a bit on the angle of the buildings around you but is likely to be on the north/west side of the street.

4. Signs of fertility - are there weeds in the tree base? This is a tell-tail sign that it will be a good growing space. If the soil looks looks, hard, dry and rocky and generally in poor condition, don’t worry - we have chosen seeds for you that do well to recover such soil!
