How to align the ground slope, while preserving the beautiful mature trees that grow on it?

user plot FORUMHOUSE Rdi13 size 48h30 m down to a small slope in the gully under 1.5 meters. The site wants to level, but there is a problem: Beautiful oak trees on a hillside with the need to thoroughly covered with soil.

Rdi13:

- This gully alignment portion will also be partially filled, and in its rising slope 5 oaks diameter of about 50-60 cm. When filling the trees will go under the ground 1.5-2 m question -. How to save trees at the same time (at the neighbor when filling oaks dried up after six months)?

To save the trees Rdi13 I came up with a plan: «wrap something, and water supply and oxygen to insert close to the ground around the trunk 4 pipes with a diameter of 150 mm " and carried it to a forum for discussion. participants FORUMHOUSE We came to the unanimous decision: in such a deep filling save trees will not work "Where are you going to supply oxygen? There's no one sitting in the tube will not breathe. "So either filling or trees.

Oaks with trunks half-meter - is already mature trees, such as negatively react to the slightest change in conditions. Bedding ground is always fatal to trees, and

Mountelf He explains why:

–Plant roots take from the soil of activity of soil microorganisms. These microorganisms are aerobic, that is, there are conditions in the presence of a certain amount of air. Almost all of the soil life is carried out in the upper 15-20 cm of the soil: deep air less and less. To you and to dig and loosen the soil, especially with the introduction of organic matter.

Now dig a hole one meter deep. What do you see there? Barren sand or clay. No there is organic. Because it is there to do there is no one.

Young trees are ductile, and a relatively small filling can pretty quickly grow roots that reach new surface and will properly nourish the tree. Same old trees, like old people do not have the plasticity.

Mountelf:

–If you fall asleep roots of a mature tree on the meter, the microflora under backfilling quickly dies, dies and the tree. Can you imagine how big the diameter of the root system of oak? Ten meters accurately. A square tube 4 is not saved. 24 too. Soil need a normal air exchange for a myriad of tiny capillaries.

saysMountelf, this applies to all adult trees. Only the birch, for example, after filling will last longer wither and pine die pretty quickly.

Elkimoi:

- All trees are killed when a 50 cm fall asleep. I have one young pine 2 meters tall, died and sank to the ground at just 10 centimeters.

How to do podsypku?

Mountelf:

- The maximum height of the ground, which you can pour the trees must not exceed 5-10 centimeters.

- If it is necessary to leave the bedding pristvolovye circles with a diameter of not less than the height of the crown.

What guided by choosing between flat land and trees? To be honest, a rare gardener in this situation, decided to donate the oaks: they grow not one human life and incredibly decorated garden. Perhaps, in this case it is better to look at the problem from another point of view, as advised Elkimoi. And then you may find that the natural terrain - the dignity of your site.

Elkimoi:

–All correctly pointed out: it is easier to ruin the trees, but that's not all... Every spring, you will be confronted with how the soil, turf and money funneling (slide) into the ravine. Familiar removed slope of 70 cm, so her heart bleeds: everything flowed smoothly to the neighbors, and the turf was about an accordion at the fence. I fought 3-4 years.

MurenaD:

- The fact that you have a natural terrain at the site, it's great! After a drop of 1.5 m in a ravine at such a scale plot gives the opportunity for landscape art! And what will happen after filling in the 1.5-2.0 m? Golf potatoes when compacted earth?

You can not fall asleep section and align it, making flat terraces. Cut off the excess land, to arrange a retaining stenyi "obtained in this way, instead of the square on the hypotenuse of the two areas of Catete, with steps and other streaming vertically and creeping beauty."

Savelolg:

Do not align the slope! I'm on the length of the section of 52 meters diagonal slope of the order of 4 meters. I foolishly leveled first, but then people are right - land slides down, with grass and plants, even though I have it specially tractor ukatyvali. But the most important thing- I lost my beautiful landscape solutions in the form of terracing. Thank God, leveled a bit and 3-meter slope preserved.

It should be carried away by the gardener landscaping, and he quickly realizes that the terraces have many advantages over flat land.

Savelolg:

–Decisions on the plane are boring and the same. And on the terraces of my roses and junipers grow will sveshivayas down. That's very beautiful! We will do the terrace again. Twice money vbuhat and all shoveled soil - this is no joke 20 acres.

Here's another bonus that gives the slope of the ravine: in the valley, you can always arrange a small pond or a moisture-loving plant, and shade tolerance, to create a natural garden of beautiful plants that will be very natural look combined with oaks.

Savelolg:

- What it's easy! If the pond does not want - do a septic tank in a gully or on the edge of the area, bordering on it, and to output the drain. Not everyone is so happy halt. Slope - it is very convenient. And always dry land, puddles will never happen. Plants grow well on a slope, do not get wet through.
