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 1, French, - plantation%20en%20trous
