Great video! Concise yet it hits all the key points. I especially like when folks explain *why* they make a certain suggestion, so thanks for that!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the video!

Awesome job in properly planting a tree!! Hole 2-3 times width of pot, amend the soil as needed, plant it high and make a water well!! Mulch and water thoroughly!! 👍😃

There is nothing worse than removing sod…but also nothing more satisfying once it’s done. ❤❤❤

Nah rock is definitely worse. Removing sod requires the right tool and technique.

Get an electric edger for sod cutting, cut into squares. Cheap and easy.

That’s really tough to deal with, the worst thing I deal with is a lot of rocks, and some that can be a decent size

Here in the south, we have a lot of the clay soil and the Bermuda and crab grass that over takes everything. I spent “hours” to create a small (rather tiny) corner bed due to this. Basically had to “chip away” at the clay. It sounded like I was hitting concrete at times. 😩 I did it in that high humidity and hot summer weather too! 🤣 Life in the southeast.

Excellent tutorial on how to properly plant a tree!

@@JoshuasGarden It was also a great tutorial on how to create a flower bed, but I was even more impressed by your directions on how to plant a tree correctly, because I see so many gardeners online doing it wrong or teaching it wrong, and you did everything right with the most thorough explanations as to how and why! So that's why I said that, ha!

I really appreciate that!

Could you use a walk behind edger for this or will I NEED the half moon?

Is it better to remove the sod or to plant over the grass and kill it off with cardboard?

What umbrella is that?

Great video, I just planted a mango tree and planted it too deep, so I had to pull it out and start over.

You will thank yourself in 20 years when that tree is healthy and beautiful!

The Bermuda grass in our backyard wouldn't take to your concept very well. If the rhizomes aren't completely removed or killed, the Bermuda will come back. Everywhere. Along with "soil" that is mainly limestone, those are the main reasons why our 70'x32' Bermuda lawn in the backyard remains (thanks, house builder!). Sadly.

The part where you said that grass is a pretty invasive plant damn colonizer plants😅😅😅😅😂

so we really dont need the landscaping fabric?

You don't need it if you don't mind picking weeds up every 3 months.

There is no added benefit to fabric going under any other ground cover and is not needed if you are planning to cover the soil already with mulch, wood chips,rocks etc.

I can do all that but first how to get your grass up my grass has long roots! Also your ruining the bottom of your neighbors fence. Your planting too close to it .
