''jSv.. s Fall is for planting Fall is the perfect time to plant a tree for both gardener and tree! People who love the outdoors particularly enjoy spending time in the yard during the sunny days of autumn. Trees benefit too, in that they cool, have time to get established before winter comes, and the soil is better able to retain moisture during the fall than during the hot days of summer. Choose a tree based on your lawns sun, soil, moisture and temperature conditions, as well as your personal preferences regarding color, size and leaf shape. Make sure you choose a site in your yard that will accommodate the tree after it has matured. You might want a smaller or g tree if youre planting close to your house. Ifyoure seekingto screen out an undesirable view, a larger g or variety may be just what youre after. Before you plant a tree, test your soil for drainage. Dig a hole, fill it with water and check it twice, once after 24 hours have slower-growin- m H izers are used with the tilling. necessary. faster-growin- trees elapsed and again after 48 hours. If the hole drains well in this time frame, the soil should adequately support a tree in this area. Dig a hole two to three times wider than, and about as deep as, the trees rootball. The hole should be deep enough that the tree is at or slightly above the depth it was in the nursery field. If your hole is too deep, the tree will settle as you water it, placing stress on the root system. If youve selected a bare root tree, gently place the roots in the planting hole, taking care not to tangle or twist them. If youve selected a container-grow- n or balled & burlapped tree, mound up a small amount of soil in the bottom of the hole, and place the tree on top of the mound. After placing the tree in the hole, refill the hole with the soil you initially removed. As you refill it, gently firm the soil to remove air pockets. This will keep the roots from drying out. Upgrading the KC Airport The Gateway Aero Club will hold their monthly meeting Saturday, November 4 at 6 p.m. at the airport. This is an important meeting for all members to attend as we will be discussing how we want to contribute to the renovations and additions to the airport terminal building. Club members have contributed many hours of labor preparing for the erection of the new hangers which will be arriving shortly.
