How to Plant. The hole you dig for your new conifer should be shallow and wide-twice the width of and more shallow than the height of the root ball. Unless the soil is very compacted or so light and porous that it retains very little moisture, you will not need to add organic matter. If soil drainage is a continual problem, consider creating a raised planting bed that has been amended to improve the soil. 3, record 2, English, - raised%20bed

Plantation en trous [...] Elle est valable pour tous les terrains. Son gros avantage est d'ameublir un volume du sol supérieur au volume de l'enracinement. Les trous sont préparés à l'avance si on a le temps. [...] Il faut veiller à disposer les racines dans une position naturelle, les couvrir en premier lieu de la terre végétale et bien tasser au fur et à mesure du remplissage du trou. L'outil habituel est la bêche. 1, record 4, French, - plantation%20en%20trous

Plantation d'arbres. Les trous de plantation seront ouverts plusieurs semaines à l'avance si possible puis rebouchés (terre végétale d'apport en mauvais terrain) après avoir ameubli le fond et placé un tuteur enfoncé dans le sol ferme. L'importance de chaque excavation doit être de l'ordre de 1 à 2 mètres cubes suivant l'état du terrain et la nature du sujet prévu à cet endroit. En mauvais sol (plantation avec apport de terre), il faut prévoir 3 à 5 mètres cubes par arbre. La profondeur du trou de préparation se situe entre 1 mètre et 1,20 m. Lors de la plantation, on ouvrira juste le trou nécessaire à la mise en place du sujet. 3, record 5, French, - trou%20de%20plantation
