(17)   Planting Procedures
       (a)   Correct planting procedures ensure greater success in establishment of landscapes. The following points should be
             complied with:
             (i)      Do not plant in extreme hot, cold or atmospheric disturbances;
             (ii)     Dig separate holes for each plant, 100 millimetres wider and deeper than container. Loosen soil at base of holes a
                      further 150 millimetres in depth. Fill holes with water and allow water to drain away. Refer to Figure SC6.4.3 and
                      Figure SC6.4.4;
             (iii)    Position plant in centre of hole, set and backfill, retaining original soil level of container. Only tease out roots if root
                      ball is compacted or pot­bound;
             (iv)     Incorporate suitable fertiliser and/or water crystals, if required, at time of backfilling ­ refer to section (20);
             (v)      Gently and firmly tap down around root ball, leaving a shallow watering depression. Water immediately and
                      thoroughly using a minimum of 5 litres per plant;
             (vi)     Mulch after planting (and installation of irrigation if applicable) ­ refer to section (18) Mulch types;
             (vii)    Where mulch is already in place, it should be raked well back from around the area and the hole dug. Excess soil
                      should be removed or spread prior to replacing mulch to prevent mixing of the two mediums; and
             (viii)   Plants that are severely root bound are not to be used.
