  "Robert briefly demonstrated a few points techniques used
in weeding and planting:
1. Using a mattock
for weeding, the importance of using the narrow mattock blade, a sufficient distance from the plant,
to avoid cutting the root and leaving some of it in the ground;
Any weed stems with seeds or flowers must
be bagged for disposal (and composting);
2.
Scraping away the woodchip layer to allow the hole to be dug and soil to be put aside for later replacement;
3. Digging a hole more than deep enough for the new plant's roots to be completely covered;
4. Replacing some crumbled soil below the level of the
new plant's roots;
5. Carefully removing
new seedlings from their pocket in the tray, without breaking off the leaves or disturbing the root ball;
6. Placing the new plant so that its top surface is below the level of existing surrounding
soil (not woodchip);
7. Replacing crumbled
soil around it, and gently pressing in the soil, leaving a shallow saucer shape around it;
8. Replacing the woodchip mulch, to suppress weed growth and retain moisture.
9. Watering 2-3 litres from a bucket.
He explained that we would later provide a stake and plastic protector aound each plant
to protect against grazing animals."
