Mulch / Soil Amendment
Planning• Stockpile Mulch October-November
• City of Cornelia and possibly HEMC
• Both leaf and wood chips
• Most of this material will be used for stabilizing eroding slopes.
• If leaf compost is broken down it can be used as a soil amendment.
• It takes 530 cubic yards of mulch to cover one acre at 4” depth
• Look for other soil amendment to enhance survival of auger planted trees.

Layout / Design
Planning• Need to plant trees in a linear fashion to make maintenance
of grass easier.
• Minimum of 20-30 ft buffer from power lines and edge of curb and gutter.
• Get input from Georgia Forestry Commission, extension, others on tree species to plant.

Trees
Planning• Organize orders with Georgia Forestry Commission for a
combination of maples, poplars and pines. Plant about 1,000-1,500 if possible.
• Order 1 and 3 gallon container trees from Southern Roots Nursery. Plant about 100 larger trees (about $600)
