His strategy is to drill holes into the soil that are 12 inches deep and 3 inches wide. He then fills the holes with a mixture of topsoil, compost, biochar. And he also puts worms into the holes and in various spots on the site and lets them do the rest of the work.\nThis month's recommended resource is a Silky Sugoi 360 Pruning Saw from Bartlett Tree Experts.\nYou can download Glynn's PowerPoint presentation referred to in the show by clicking here.\nThe host of the Orchard People radio show and podcast is Susan Poizner of the fruit tree care education website www.orchardpeople.com.  \n\nSusan is the author of four books on fruit tree care.
