Planting

Before planting make sure that the soil is well prepared by digging in Compost to improve soil structure. This can be done by, digging individual holes for each plant or digging the compost into a trench.

In heavier clay soils adding a handful of Gypsum every 1m² or so, will further improve the structure. In really heavy soils you can plant into a slight mound to help with drainage.
