PLANTING 
When planting nursery stock, it is wise to keep 
the roots well covered with wet burlap or moss 
until you can set them into the soil. Plenty of 
water after planting helps to pack the soil around 
the roots. If you do not wish to plant them as 
soon as they arrive, your material should be 
unpacked ,checked with your bill and heeled into 
moist soil or sand until needed. Consider the 
ultimate size of the trees, shrubs and plants you 
are using to determine the distance you should 
space them apart in their new location.
