We are not speaking of fertility amendments needed to improve the soil or of work like soil drainage if the soil is too wet or aeration if the soil is too compacted. We are assuming that the land purchased is flat and requires no improvements other than the addition of organic matter. The only preliminary work needed to establish the orchard is mowing of grass and the addition of some amendments for soil fertility. It is preferable to plant trees in the fall once the leaves have fallen.

All the data corresponds to the establishment of 1 acre at Miracle Farms in 2007. Improvements are proposed for certain steps and will be tested at the farm in the future.
