Tips for a successful planting:

1) Set up planting grid with stakes on each row end; tie with strings crossing the planting area to make a grid

2) Moisten sand with sprinkler to mimic a soaking rain – this will keep the holes from backfilling

3) Keep plant roots covered from wind/sun drying while conducting your planting – this has proven to be the greatest determining factor on plant survival!

4) Open a small hole using a tool: spade shovel, tree planting bar or hand trowel –use heel to dig! (See image to right)

5) Insert 2 culms, using tool to keep sand from falling into hole. Fill sand around base of plants.

6) Compact soil around plant by tamping with foot or place tool in the ground 2-3 inches away, pull handle away from plants to compact soil toward plant -air gaps in the planting hole lower survival rates.
