Planting in Heavy Clay Soil

• Dig a hole and position root ball level with grade line.
• NEVER place root ball under grade level.
• Insert 3" perforated drain tile between the side of root mass and the side of the hole until it touches the bottom of the hole.
• Back fill the area around the root ball with a mixture of plant starter or compost and existing soil (1/2" clumps or smaller).
• Cover top of root mass with mulch and cut drain tile flush with grade level.
• Water and enjoy!
