Kauri Tree Planting






On Wednesday 2 June 2010 at lunchtime the Enviro Group planted a Kauri tree.. We went to the shade house with Mr Barns and Mrs Shepeard and got the Kauri tree. After that we went to the compost bin and go some compost for the tree. Then Emma started wheeling the compost and the Kauri tree,down to the backfield bush area. It was hard to find the right place for us to plant the Kauri tree. Finally we found a place so ,Mr Barns started digging. He lifted the Kauri tree out of the wheelbarrow ,carefully took it out of the pot and placed in the hole. Next he put the compost around the tree and flattened it.Then he put the stake in next to the plant to keep it growing straight. Soon it will be big and strong!
