The sun was shining and it was a beautiful October day when nine of us gathered to mulch the fruit and nut trees in Merton Community Orchard. Thank you to Jo Small for the mulch she donated, we quickly spread it around the trees and added in some wood chip as well. The severe drought of recent years had killed several two-year-old trees and we hope that by mulching we can help the others survive. We will replant some of the trees in the spring and make sure they are also well mulched.
