the sack open before you buy what is in
IL, Tor he who trades IL the dark asks To be
cheated

water around the plants after they are
planted. y much better plan is To MAKE
the holes with a di bible, and then fill water
into the holes, allowing the water to fully
soak away, and then put the plant into the
hole, pressing the earth firmly against it.
Plants will then need no surface watering,
and do much Better than if they had it.
Some people in order TO prevent whiting
cover the plants with an inverted flower
pot for some twcnty-four hours, which is
