Make sure that there is 3 to 5 inches of 1-inch diameter mulch on top of the soil surface so that the soil surface does not completely dry out. The mulch should extend past the "drip line" of the tree canopy.

Contact A&L Laboratories West. Get the materials from them for a soil analysis and send them the sample. The will send you a PDF file with the analysis -- send it too me when we get it and then we can talk about it here or in private if you like.
