  • 5 bags Compost
  • 5 bags Topsoil
  • 1 pair Gardening gloves
  • Water for watering

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and clear any weeds or debris.
  2. Dig five holes, each about twice as wide as the root ball and as deep as the root ball.
Planting
  1. Gently remove each sapling from its container and loosen any circling roots.
  2. Place a sapling in each hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
  3. Backfill the holes with a mixture of compost and topsoil, gently tamping down to remove air pockets.
  4. Water each tree thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.
Initial Care
  1. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of each tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  2. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
  3. Protect young trees from pests and diseases as needed, and consider staking if your area experiences strong winds.

Notes

Ensure proper spacing between trees for optimal growth and air circulation. Regular watering is crucial in the first year after planting. Consider soil testing before planting to adjust nutrient levels if necessary.
