What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Tree planting method for optimal growth"
Answer
The writings describe a special method of tree planting that Ellen White was shown in a vision and that is especially suitable for difficult soils. Instead of planting the trees superficially, a deep pit should be dug, into which fertile soil, stones, and fertilizer (dressing) are filled in layers.
Furthermore, it is emphasized that trees need sufficient space to grow healthy and strong, as overly dense planting restricts growth and weakens the plants. Thorough soil preparation and intensive care are crucial to fully realize the land's yield.
The method of planting trees
»I instructed my worker to dig a deep hole in the ground, then pour rich soil into it, then stones, then rich soil again. After that he laid layers of soil and fertilizer until the hole was filled. I told the gardener that I had planted in this way in the rocky soil. ... While we were in Australia, we applied the plan to dig deep trenches and fill them with fertilizer that would create good soil. We did this in the cultivation of tomatoes, oranges, lemons, peaches, and grapes.«
Importance of space and care
»If trees in a nursery are planted too closely together, they cannot grow healthy and strong. Transplant trees from your densely planted nursery. Give them space; place your plants in many locations where one does not have to lean on another for support. Give them room to grow.«
Consequences of inadequate soil preparation
»Many who work the soil fail to achieve adequate yields because they neglect it. Their orchards are not properly cared for, the plants are not set at the right time, and only superficial work is done in soil preparation. They attribute their failure to the land's unproductivity. Often false testimony is given by condemning land that would yield abundant harvests if properly cultivated.«
