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.
