Thought I would share with you how I make a collar/guard to stop collar rot on my fruit trees.
I you are like me and seem to have accumulated lots of old plastic pots.
This is how I reuse them. I use two pots per tree.
Firstly I cut the bottom out of the pots.
Next I slit up one side.
When two are cut they go together like this.
In position on the tree. mulch too your hearts content, no collar rot.
as tree grows they expand and don't choke the tree.
when they get too small, just cut up some larger pots.
hope this is helpful
regards john
