Clear any weeds or grass from the area where the hole is to be dug. Dig the hole to a suitable size (see above). Break up the soil in the bottom of the hole with a spade and mix in some compost (we recommend Greenshutters Multipurpose Compost with Osmocote 12-14 month controlled-release fertiliser). Water the root-ball of the plant so it is moist all the way through. Remove the pot. Place the plant in the hole and back-fill with soil and compost. Firm around the sides of the root-ball. Stake the plant if necessary.
