How to Plant a Tree


While planting each of these different types of trees differs in the details, all trees eventually end up in a hole. But not any old hole will do.
The most common mistake when planting a tree is a digging hole, which is both too deep and too narrow.  Too deep and the roots don’t have access to sufficient oxygen to ensure proper growth.  Too narrow and the root structure can’t expand sufficiently to nourish and properly anchor the tree.

A TULASI PLANT IN UR GARDEN, means a doctor in Your Home

Tulsi or basil is a herb that has immense medicinal properties. The plant is easy to grow and is popular in Indian homes.

THE FIRST thing our grandmothers did after their ablutions was to fill water in a kalash and water the tulsi. As many traditions associated with the plant have declined, the presence of tulsi in homes has also become a rarity. But even those who do not believe in the tradition of worshipping tulsi would grant that this plant has wonderful medicinal properties, and so, deserves a place in one's garden.
