When Planting in dry, hard soil......

Use barreta to loosen dry hard soil.

1.Use a barretta to make the hole in the ground and loosen the soil.

Shovel out loosened soil to create the hole.

2.Use a shovel to remove the loosened soil. (Keep the loosened soil only a foot or two away from the hole, as this will be used to fill the gaps alter on.)

3.Fill the bottom with 4-6 inches of good soil, leaves and other compostable material. (avoid including roots of other trees or plants as these may have toxins that will prevent your sapling from taking root.)

Fill the bottom of the hole  with good soil or compostable materials.

Removing from the pot.

4.Carefully remove the seedling from the seedling bag or pot*. (Cutting or tearing the seedling bag may be necessary to ensure that the soil remains compact and the roots of the sapling are not unnecessarily exposed.) 

5.Carefully place the soil holding the roots and base of the sapling into the hole.

Immediately place base of the sapling into the hole.
