What are the basics which need to be followed for planting a tree?
The tree pit needs to be filled with sand, manure and top soil in the ratio of 1:1:1 and a small amount of red earth, if available, to take care of the micronutrient requirements. By properly placing a layer of coconut husks at the bottom of the 2.5 ft deep pit before planting a tree, water needs of the tree can be met for even 15 days and thus considerable labor and expenses can be reduced.
