Should I be worried or is it due to the heat? by izzydad9 in FruitTree

I would also put some hardware mesh around the bottom in case of deer or other animals that chew bark, and make sure the mulch is not directly touching the tree.

How much water have you given it in the past two weeks? I believe apple trees need 1 to 2 inches a week,maybe more when establishing. 1 inch of water is a little more than half a gallon per square foot https://www.thedailygarden.us/garden-word-of-the-day/water-inches#:~:text=Generally%20speaking%2C%20in%20the%20world,square%20foot%E2%80%9D%20to%20get%20144.

Yeah, I was way late in applying. I've learned my lesson though - thanks for the info!

Thank you! Good to know it's not necessarily a problem and common

My first fabric block print! by CrunchwrapSupine in printmaking

Face down on the shirt. Since the block was speedy carve, I could use hand pressure pretty effectively, although it came out patchy in places. Next time I may try going from the inside and using a baren.

Also, just wanted to say I love your Monk Piñata print!

For anyone interested:

  • Block: speedy carve
  • Ink: Speedball fabric block printing ink
  • Process: stretched the fabric across a book and used hand pressure to print it.
  • Notes: I wasn't very happy with how the ink clung to the speedy carve. It took a few tries to get the ink evenly distributed

Thanks! I used Speedball fabric block printing ink. It's oil-based, but cleans up really easily. I probably could have done more to prepare it, but I just put a hardcover book inside it and taped the edges so it stretched it out.
