Nature Needs You!3 Reasons To Plant A Tree This Monsoon
Why shall we plant trees during monsoon?
Between June and mid-August soil is able to absorb moisture and becomes more conducive for planting. Monsoon rainfall takes care of watering the sapling and the root gets stabilized. Survival chances of a young tree are higher if planted during the rainy season
Some things to remember:
Plant saplings only after three or four instances of rainfalls. Plant local Indian varieties! Check the quality of soil and availability of sunlight and water before planting. Fruit trees should be planted in the back of the house, flowering trees towards the side and the decorative in front. Make sure the trees are not going to intervene with electric poles and wires. Check with your local authorities and NGOs for free saplings.
