Dig a hole twice as large as the plant you are using. Squeeze the container to loosen the roots, remove it from the pot by turning the pot upside down and gently pulling on the plant. Be sure the grasp the plant at the base near the soil line before pulling. Add a little time release plant food into your hole and mix it lightly into the soil. Place the root ball into your hole. The top of the soil in the pot should be even with the soil in your garden bed. Press the soil gently around the plant, do not pack the soil tightly the roots will grow better if the soil isn't compacted. Water the plant in using a watering can or other gentle flow of water. This will settle the soil around the plant. To conserve water and discourage weeds a layer of mulch can be added to the top of the soil around the plant, this mulch should come close to the plant but not touch the stem.
