Dig Square Holes to Plant Trees and THIS HAPPENS
Vložit

- Planting trees in square holes is not a new idea, it has been around for decades. Trees should be planted in square holes if you have tough or hard ground. This way the roots of the tree hit a definitive 90 degree edge and break through to native soil. Planting Trees in round holes in tough ground can lead to root binding.

I like that you give the reason for planing the way you do. Someone had told me to dig square holes but said “Because someone told me to do it”. Not a reason., you gave a good reason. Thank you
Hi Jag this is everyone
Just in time got 5 lemon trees to plant.
Another fantastic video Jag.
You are the only person that I have watched mentioning that you want square holes only if you have hard compacted clay soils.
All other gardeners just mention square hole because another guy said so with no explanation or rationale on why the hole should be square. As you mentioned if you loose soil, there is no need for square hole, any hole will do.
It’s root bound because it’s in plastic container where it can’t go through plastic. In soil I don’t think it would cause root bound as roots would find the way in deep soil.
Hello, this is the earliest I've ever been, I'm a relatively new subscriber and j love your videos, you are my go to channel when I need gardening help
Thanks for posting such great content ❤👍
Hello
Yay
thankyou so much sir
Your explanations are so thorough and informative! Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you so much! Precisely I am planting trees. Just starting to dig. Now I will dig in a square shape. Thanks again!
OMG!!! i always make a circle 🤭🤦♀️ great to know now i am planning on making squares.
I learn so much from this channel. I follow several gardening and this one is by far the best for information
Good
This explains why some of my old trees that died never really grew out of the original hole. Great info.
Very interesting .I. getting more and more intetested in gardening thank you to your videos. Confidence raise curiosity
Great tips, especially the wind tip.
Very informative . Thank you Jag from Chicago.
Yippy Skippy you gots New Ideas!!!! Yea haw.. love it.
Rally I do, danks! 👍😃
🌳🌴🌳🌴🌲🌳🌳🌲🌳
great information
Thank you
Bro make a video on all the verbs related to farming plz.you are great at farming and planting tress.
Hi Jag, love your vids. I have super clay (southern caliche) in some areas. I plant bare-root trees which do much better in my clay and in my hot, sometimes dry ( mini -droughts) summers. I have been growing fruit and nut trees for 27 years in three different zones and 4 different soil types. Your dryer climate is so much better for stone fruit trees than mine -- torrential rains than droughts. Love that you planted ALL those trees.
Very smart and informative video!!.
Excellent lesson. Thanks.
Very useful information - thanks so much
Persimmon cookies coming up, I miss living in North San Diego County where persimmons, pomegranates, avocados and many other fruits & vegetables grew all around and you could stop at the fruit stand to purchase for reasonable $ !!
Excellent video!
Nice.. we, for long time used to dig sqare hole only for planting Areca, Coconut trees etc..
very very useful info! tnks mate!
great vid; great info ,,,,,,
Best experimental study videos.thanks bro. Jagjeet.
Very useful info👍👍
Jag, as usual, a great video. When you get your farm into full swing, perhaps you can show us how you process and package your products? Ideas on marketing etc... I live in New Mexico and it's like your environment, Desert. lol... Thanks
Tx buddy i always want this knowledge
Hi Jag
thank you...
We always plant trees in square holes in Germany. But I never heart that it is necessary.
Liked & Shared.
This has saved me from the planting of countless trees, Till the truth would have made itself known haha thanks a lot!
Gordon.
Also break up the ground around the hole with a garden fork and get compost to fall into the garden fork holes, and the fork marks should radiate out from the tree center.
Great advice Jag and hope more and more people take up gardening. I've had the best summer season ever thanks to some of the tips you've shared
Just get a king of spades shovel and that will easily cut through any compacted clay soils so you don't have to soak it. I have some areas of my yard that's like cement but the all steel 13" king of spades goes right through it.
If you have a clay soil and want to use an auger to plant trees my suggestion is to use a small trenching shovel to break up the smooth wall and add a handfull of compost at the bottom of the hole and half way up the root ball then a bucket full ontop of the soil each year to attract the worms to break up the soil.
The other problem is trees grown in round pots for too long, they need pruning.
Uncle jag.please tell me.do plastic waste affects my soil?please I need to know
Where are you located, Jag? When's a website coming up for the U-Pick? Congrats on being on step closer to realizing your dream! SO excited for you. I definitely do have the terrible hard clay soil you mention, so I so appreciate the tip!
We are 40 min south of Sacramento and one hour 15 min east of San Francisco in California. Website is coming soon!
I have made my own hot compost
Hi jag, i was wondering if u could do a video on eggplants?
I learnt so much from this video, thanks a lot. Btw, you are very handsome 😍
👍
Square holes have another big advantage: they're far easier to dig (using a shovel). Not only you remove less soil for the same diameter (which for a square is the diagonal), but scooping with a flat shovel out of a square hole is much more efficient than from a circular one.
One thing though: deeper holes aren't a myth, people just forget (or don't bother to research) the real reason behind them. 3-4 feet deep holes aren't meant to sink the poor sapling half way down its length, the lower half (or even more) of such a hole is meant to be filled with better quality soil, helping the tree to develop stronger roots before it has to deal with the less adequate local ground. Note that the type of added soil depends on both the local conditions and the tree species, so asking a professional about that is a good idea before you start digging.
Hey New frnd here, ❤️❤️
Wow 👌👌🌱🌱
Welcome!
👍☺️
Is there a reason why you didn't expose the root flare on the tree you planted? It looked like they planted the tree too deep in the nursery. I would have knocked off some of the potting soil until the root flare was exposed then planted it.
Good work ...Jag ...would like to share a thought about NARANAYANA REDDY AND MANJUNATH BHAT VIDEOS ...some are in English and some are in Indian regional language KANNADA...these gentlemens are awesome ..NARAYANA REDDY IS IN FARMING ....MANJUNATH BHAT IS IN FORRESTRY ...ALL NATURAL WAYS ...you might need a translator or frnd ...who's familiar with that language ...
Put a 2x4 across the hole so you can properly set thr height of the tree! And how about using a couple of stakes to support the tree against the wind because leaning the tree may cause it to be too little or too much but never the right amount. Besides, trees will produce more than they can bear if supported, especiallly straight up, otherwise the trees ends up with broken branches and wasted fruit!
if u live in an urban area and the tree is slightly in the side next to the fence, should i still do a square hole
Please share how to prepare the ground for digging. The shovel cuts through it like it is soft butter!
I need help digging a hole! How do I dig the hole?
Good video. First time listening about sqare hole. I have one question if you give answer. I plant 5 feet big ashoka tree in nearby school boundary . 15 days pass out leaves are going to die. I think someone cut the roots of tree. Mischievous people are here. what I have to do to keep the tree alive. I put vridhi jal (वृद्धि जल) liquid nutrition. Let's see the result. In my area not easy to plant any size of plan. Small they dig out and cut into two or three pices and big one cut with cutter. Now third reason I come to know its root cut from inside because plant size is 4 feet now.
How is he not verified- he has 532k-
If you want corners wouldn't a star shape be even better then?
And my soil is heavy clay and lots and lots river rocks..
what if you do not want your roots to grow out too much
Once you filled the hole the tree can’t determine if it in a square or round hole🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
The area with soil filled in will be much softer than the area around it. Tree roots can follow a circular pattern, but once the roots hit a straight edge, they usually don't make a 90 degree turn.
