Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant in full sun or in shade. A well-drained, fertile soil is ideal. To plant as a hedge, it is best to dig a trench instead of individual planting holes. This will help you plant the hedge in a neat straight row. Mix the extracted topsoil with a mixture of compost and bone meal. Also place several spades of compost and bone meal in the ditch and mix it with the sub-soil. Place the young plants in the trench, about 50 cm to 1 m apart, and at the same depth they were growing in their nursery pots. Fill with the enriched topsoil and water immediately, then keep the soil moist until you see the first signs of growth.
