Plants Grown: Container-grown plants grown are those that are really well established in pots, polyethylene bags or anything else which will ensure that all the roots and the soil around them can be transported and planted with the minimum of disturbance. Although more expensive than bare-rooted or balled plants grown, container-grown plants grown can be put in at any time of the year when the soil is in good working condition. Most of the shrubs and climbers offered for sale in garden depots are container grown.
CONTAINER-GROWN AND BALLED plants grown Dig a hole just a little larger than the container and slip the plant into this with as little root disturbance as possible. Fill any remaining space with a mixture of peat and broken-down soil.
Pot-grown plants grown can usually be tapped out quite safely by turning them upside down and rapping the rim of the pot sharply on something firm, such as the handle of a spade thrust well into the soil. Carefully hold the plant while doing this so that it does not fall to the ground or snap off. In the case of balled plants grown and those grown in polythene bags, cut and strip off the covering material with the plant on the edge of, or actually in, the hole it is to occupy.
For the best results, always choose the right cultivation technique for the job in hand.plants grown are available in several different forms, each of which demands a different treatment in terms of planting and aftercare.
plants grown are sold as "bare-rooted," "balled," or "container grown."
BARE-ROOTED plants grown This is the cheapest way of buying most plants grown. Bare-rooted plants grown are lifted from a nursery bed and most of the soil is shaken from around their roots. Bare-rooted plants grown should be transplanted only in the fall and winter when they are dormant (or nearly). |
