Step 2

Create furrows 2 inches deep with a trowel handle, in rows 1 foot apart. Lay out bare-root plants 8 inches apart. Top-dress furrows with an extra handful of fertilizer, then while spreading roots, plant halfway up the crown (the hard section just above the roots).

Be careful: Don't plant too deep or roots may rot.
