We've mentioned it before: we love islands! We all know by now how important mulch is to fixing your soil, but we found ourselves getting sick from kicking up woodchips in the yard, and wanted to find a way to better manage our mulch. We started connecting the berms of each of our trees until we had created little "islands" of trees in our yard! Another huge benefit to making sections like this is that you can replicate flood irrigation in a way! By flooding the entire growing area of your fruit trees, rather than just watering around each individual tree's rootball, you can fix a lot more soil at one time without any extra effort.
We wanted to demonstrate a basic idea of how we make these islands. We use dirt (the leftovers from planting trees, plus anything else laying around the yard) to connect several plants with one large berm. Get creative here; we love to incorporate a shade tree, some fruit trees, vines, groundcovers, shrubs, anything really! When you look at nature, you'll notice that plants like to be tucked in close together, so don't be too scared about putting your plants in close proximity to one another. You can always prune :)
