Place the plant in the hole so that it is sitting at or above the same depth that it was previously growing (Use soil mark on trunk as a guide).
Add Espoma® Organic Land & Sea Gourmet Compost to the native soil so that the soil to backfill the hole is equal parts native soil and compost.
Add the appropriate amount of Bio-tone® Starter Plus.
Fill the hole with amended soil. Pack firmly, soak it with water, and allow to settle. Add additional soil if needed.
