August 2012 planting

After rotavating the ground we planted 66 noble fir and 378 nordmann fir, more nordmann fir was planted as  they tend to do better in wetter conditions, We are experimenting with cardboard squares around the bases of the transplants aswell to try to keep the weeds down around the bases, we have begun on preparation of the next field which when ready will give us the ability to plant 1000 transplants a year for about 5 years
