Good morning,
If you do not mind I have a couple of questions on your grow out garden. I have very limited space as we live in a townhome on the side of a mountain--the drop off out back is significant. I have an estimated 10' x 6' that I can use. I have 8 maples (different species) that I want to put into the ground. Incidentally, they are all grafted.
How far apart did you plant your maples? Did you use a tile or stone under them? Also, how did you prepare your area? My area has relatively rich soil due to the decomposing leaves over years. I had thought I would work a good deal of lava rock into the area but am not sure. It looked in the your photos that you may have used pine bark.
Any help you can offer me is most appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
Ron Dennis
