Tree Planting with Hydrocell

Your new trees and shrubs will flourish on less water and establish faster when you add Hydrocell during planting. Follow our simple step-by-step guide...

Here are some examples:

• Street Planting guide

	Step 1: To prevent airborne dust, take your bag of Hydrocell to the planting area, open, and wet the contents with a hose for up to 2 minutes.
	Step 2: Pre-dig plant hole to required depth (this should be approx. twice the size of plant rootball). Place a quantity of loose soil at bottom of hole.
	Step 3: Using the container that the plant came in, place half a container full of Hydrocell in the bottom of the hole.
	Step 4: Position plant in the hole ready for the backfill soil to be added.
	Step 5: Fill hole with water before backfilling. Place another half a container of Hydrocell with the backfill soil and blend to mix.
	Step 6: Backfill mixture of soil and Hydrocell.
	Step 7: Mulch thickly, making sure that you keep the mulch away from the trunk of the tree.
