40 years ago my grandparents planted the first orchard on this location and it was here until now.
Unfortunately, in the last 5 years we have completely neglected it due to work both at home and at our real job. This year, after I got some free time, I decided to tear down the old orchard and make a new one. It took us a week to tear down all the very large and old fruit trees and an additional week to remove all the branches. This week, an excavator is coming to dig 80 holes for our new fruit trees! We decided to order 40 plum seedlings and 40 seedlings of different types of apples. I am curious what you think, how are we doing so far and do you have any suggestions or anything like that?

Nice! an orchard is a lot of work. How is the excavator going to dig the holes? I’ve never heard of using an excavator before. I’ve used a post hole digger, which worked pretty well. Ultimately, just doing it by hand seemed the easiest, although fairly time consuming. Also, Where are you located? In my area, deer would obliterate these without some sort of tall fencing.
