Pre-release. This site describes standard version 0.7.0-dev, which is in development and may change before version 1.0.0.

How the ground around a planted tree was finished. From KIA-Adapt A7, where a raised border held water and a mound shed it.

Basin below ground level

The tree sits in a depression; holds water, risks waterlogging in wet ground.

Flat, no border

Mound above ground level

The tree sits on a raised mound; sheds water, suits wet ground.

Raised border or ridge

A ring of soil around the tree holding water at the stem. The recommended finish on the Highveld.

This page explains the standard and does not decide conformance: only the released corpus does. It describes glossary/planting-schemes.ttl at standard version 0.7.0-dev.
