Very interesting technique. I think your approach is going to yield some great results, particularly as you new tree establishes over the next few years. The only item I would comment on is mulching the newly planted tree.
I have always been a firm believer of mulching tree circles particularly with young trees. Great work Blayne...

I think the idea is sound, but the execution was poor. Uphill of the tree well I made some Emelia Hazlip style beds with sunken paths...not on contour and the low spot was directly up slope from the tree well so when the paths filled with water it would overflow into that area (is this a type 1 error or can it be fixed?). Bad call on my part I suppose. I'll do a little work to mitigate the problems latter this summer, and plant something that like the moisture a little more. We shall see.
It wasn't my idea to go to some crazy nightclub in the middle of nowhere. I just wanted to stay home and cuddle with this tiny ad:
