A decade+ of tending oaks in Hillsborough, CA

I’ve haven’t been posting many results lately due to my focus on a major writing project that you will hear more about soon. Thanks for your patience! Meanwhile, let me take some time and share some recent results in the next few posts.

Today I want to show you a grove of oaks in Hillsborough, CA that I’ve been treating with fire mimicry every few years since 2012. Notice how the trees have developed denser, lusher canopies. This is mainly due improved soil fertility from compost tea and mineral amendments.
