Planting Trees in Mineral Palace Park

Doing things for the ‘hood.

Aquila has donated 10 trees to be planted in Mineral Palace Park.  We need at least 2 volunteers per tree to help with the planting of these trees.  The City will dig the holes so we will just need to place the trees and fill the holes. 

We will planting these trees on Saturday, May 19th and will meet at 10:00 near the swimming pool. Jean Latka with Trees Please will give us instructions.  Please bring a shovel and rake.  We hope to get more than 20 people to show our support for this project and Mineral Palace Park. 

Please pass this information along to anyone you know who didn’t get this e-mail.  They don’t need to live in the OHNO area.  Also, please give me a call if you’ll be able to help out so I know that we’ll have enough volunteers.

   RE: Digging It

   As a Master Gardener, I hope that the people who dig the holes for these new trees know the proper method for doing so.

   In order to be sure of that, I recommend you get up on line and check out some information:

   http://www.ext.colostate.edu/ptlk/1712.html (Preparing the Planting Site)

   http://coopext.colostate.edu/4dmg/Trees/treeplnt.htm (Spring Tree Planting: Do It Right)

   I mention this because at a meeting of PACOG’s Transportation Advisory Committee, they were talking about a project scheduled for improving US 50 on the Mesa to include trees.

   Looking over their diagram of how a tree would be planted, I noticed a serious flaw. They were just going to bore a hole in the ground and drop the tree into it. The problem is that research has determined that straight-sided holes inhibit proper growth of roots, due to difference in soil texture.

   If the soil is loose, the roots will naturally grow that way, until they hit soil that is more compact, i.e., never been disturbed. Then the roots will, as with most living things, seek the path of least resistance, folding back in on the hole immediately around the root ball.

   In order to avoid this, the hole needs to be wider and sloped into a saucer shape.

   This will require more work, but it enhances the survivability and growth of the newly planted tree.

   I’m going to try to be there, myself, for this event.

   Regards,

   Chuck

2. TO: Carolyn, et al.
   RE: Holes

   I am informed, by Carolyn, via e-mail, that she suspects that the city people who are going to dig the holes are just going to dig straight-sided holes and be done with it.

   This means, if we want to give these trees the best possible chance of growth and survival, we’ll need to widen these holes into a saucer-shaped hole before planting the trees.

   People coming to help should bring long-handled and/or d-handled shovels and spades. Maybe a pick-mattock as well. There will be some digging to be done.

   Regards,

   Chuck

4. You can think of your computer’s registry like the brain of your computer.  As such, it stores info not only on every program that your computer has set uped at any given time, it also tends to keep details from programs that you previously removed.  This can be a main problem for PC owners and is why it’s imperative for computer users to use a free registry cleaner. 
    
   When you set up software on your computer, some important information are retailerd within your computer’s registry.  However, when you get rid of or uninstall software, sometimes those records remain inside of your registry.  Maybe the software was poorly written or your computer had a hard time unset uping the software correctly.  In either case, the end-result is that you have records in your registry that are no longer needed.

6. Appreciate the wonderful web site. I love your current design and style.
   With regards to just how People in america look at President barack obama going into the brand new year, there appears to always be little or no character involving Auld Lang Syne. Rather, in accordance with the brand-new Buenos aires Whispers opinion poll, a lot of voters aren’t disregarding whatever they detest regarding President obama and need him or her away from business office.

   Inside our Brand new Year’s study, when questioned precisely what information occasion these people dread most about Next year, People in america with a border regarding two-to-one mentioned Obama’s reelection­. Merely 16 percent stated they concern the particular Democrat won’t get an extra term, even though 33 per cent mentioned they will worry a number of more decades Dissertation Writing.

8. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

15. Good material. Thanks for your web site. Just a suggestion. I’m not really advertising Google whatsoever, however i have seen that you’re not using Google Analytics on your web-site. That could be a good way to enhance your site and profit from it in a more effective manner. It really makes it possible for to observe visits and find out what specific written content is more popular. I strongly suggest it. One other good software system for that goal is PIWIK and it is an open source cost-free package that you simply deploy on your web host account Write My Paper
