How to Use

1. Dig a Hole: Create a hole deep enough for the root ball and twice its width.
2. Prepare the Plant: Remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and position it in the hole with the crown slightly above the rim.
3. Remove Burlap: If the root ball is wrapped in burlap, cut away the top to free the stem.
4. Mix and Pack: Combine equal parts of the Organic Planting Mix with the surrounding soil and pack lightly around the root ball, ensuring the soil is slightly above the rim.
5. Water Thoroughly: Water the plant well and maintain regular watering until it establishes itself.
