Question
Hello, I boxed in a maple tree while building a deck on a lake. I don’t want to damage the tree by filling the box with mulch, can you recommend a good alternative filler? Thanks - Mike
Answer
Mike, good afternoon. I'm not a horticulturist, so take my ideas with a grain of salt. It seems like some kind of mulch could be useful, especially because it can move as the tree grows. The mulch need not be something purchased (forest leaves could serve as the mulch, which are easy to replace as they break down). Best wishes.
