With a few simple tricks, you'll achieve the perfect biscuit combination: crispy and golden brown on the outside, but tender and light on the inside.
Pair these with a fresh baked or microwaved apple, and you will have a quick, delicious and locally good treat!
3 Ingredient Drop Biscuit-
2 cups self-rising flour ½ cup unsalted butter (freeze, then grate)* 1 cup whole milk (buttermilk, half & half or 2% milk also work)
*Before you get started, freeze your stick of butter to make grating it easier. 1. Preheat your oven to 450°F 2. Measure your self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl then grate the butter directly into your bowl of flour. 3. Give the flour and butter a quick stir, then make a well in the center of the flour. 4. Pour the milk into the center of the well and mix briefly, just enough to combine. 5. Portion the dough onto your prepared baking sheet in large tablespoonful amounts. 6. Bake at 450°F for approximately 10 minutes or until golden on the top and lightly browned on the base. 7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving or cooling completely to store.

The traditional way of arbor tying the tree only steadies the top of the tree and not the root ball. By using untreated wood and drywall screws that rust makes the project biodegradable. The stakes should be hammered into the compacted subsoil, below the root ball and planting hole, before attached cross beams.

Trees usually need ten gallons of water per caliper inch, depending on the weather, soil, and location. The water should get down to the base of the root ball and cover the surrounding system. Hot weather and dry periods will require more frequent watering.

First, use a survey pin or screwdriver and poke into the top of the root ball to find the first main order root. The hole should be no deeper than this root. Use the shovel to help measure and determine the whole depth. The hole should be two to three times the width of the root ball.

After measuring the correct hole depth, the video shows the step-by-step process of planting container grown trees. We use a sharp shovel to show how to remove the outside the outside and slice the root ball. The root ball is then covered, creates a water berm, and the tree is staked in the ground.

Be cautious of twine that may girdle the tree trunk. Everyone has different preferences for the type of mulch. The main consideration is purchasing quality material. Mulch should not be over three to four inches deep at any time. New research suggests not mulching over the root ball itself to allow proper water drainage and prevent too much moisture.
