What are the steps to plant trees?

The five steps of planting trees are: digging holes, planting trees, filling soil, watering and covering soil.

1. Digging: When digging a hole for a small tree, it should not be too deep or too shallow. According to the size of the sapling, determine the size of the pit to ensure that the roots can be accommodated in the pit. When digging a hole, separate the upper soil from the lower soil for a rainy day. When digging, try to use a shovel, choose a place with thick soil, and then control the pit spacing at a suitable position, so as to prevent the seedlings from not getting enough light when growing.

2. Planting trees: When planting trees, make sure that the saplings are upright, hold the lower part of the trunk by hand, put the saplings in the middle of the pit, make sure that the trunk is as vertical as possible, and make sure that the trunk penetrates into the soil to the same depth as its nursery. While planting young trees, we should pay attention to protecting the roots of root seedlings.

3. Fill the soil: evenly cover the soil around the seedlings with a shovel. A fill is about half a pit high. One person holds the sapling, and the other person fills the hole in the tree with soil. Then step on it with your feet. Scatter more soil around the trunk, or there will be a big pit next time you water it.

4. Watering: Watering the trees is a very critical step, because after the trees are moved out of the nursery, a large number of roots will be damaged, which is not conducive to absorbing water. Only when there is enough water can the seedlings survive. Watering is mainly used to stabilize the soil. In the middle of irrigation, water the saplings and try to soak the irrigated soil thoroughly.

5. Covering soil: After watering, cover the ground with a layer of soil to make the soil wetter and grow better. Fill the pit with saplings. If possible, it is best to cover the trees with a layer of leaves or something similar to grass, which can reduce humidity and prevent the growth of weeds.
