Re: Long awaited elm grove

After moving the tress about a bizillion times, I was finally happy with the locations of all the trees. I began the arduous task of wiring all the tress firm. In went the soil, and I used a custom chopstick to move the soil in and around the roots. This is very important on forests, since you have alot of roots and trees intertwined, and you don't want air pockets that may cause root death.

I also planted a small boxwood that was in the previous forest, along with a few groupings a grass and mondo.
