The first picture in the article is taken just some 150 meters away from…[Read more] -

Good to see a verdant green forest. You don’t seem to have many Brambles in your forest understory, but looking at the last picture i think the ground is too wet.
This site had both dry and wet parts. The last picture shows a very wet part where an excavator made quite big mounds to plant on. That´s why there were holes like the one of the picture. It seems to have been successful though, as the spruce trees there seemed to do ok.
The first picture in the article is taken just some 150 meters away from the last, in the same stand. There it is dry soil with just gravel and stone, but … very good hummus. Thanks to the wet summer it´s growing well there as well.
As for brambles, we don´t have much of those in this area.
