Phase 4 of new perennial garden in Florence
When planting a long hedge I find it easiest to dig a trench instead of separate holes. This technique makes it easier to install the hedge in a straight line with proper spacing between each plant.
When planting material of this size it is important to saturate the rootball before back-filling the hole. After setting the plants in the trench and lining them up we filled the trench with water twice. Each time we allowed the water to be completely soaked up by the root balls.
Once the root balls are saturated, back-fill and water-in.
