Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a hole twice the size of the solution clod and recondite enough to plant at the same grade the bush was in the container . If land is short , dig hole even wider and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or grunge amendment .
cautiously remove shrub from container and lightly separate ascendent . Position in centre of fix , good side facing forward . Fill in with original soil or an improve mixing if needed as described above . For larger bush , construct a water well . Finish by mulch and irrigate well .
