Features of rooting a seedling

The garden is laid in a place protected from cold winds with a low standing of groundwater. In this case, a sunny slope is chosen. The soil must be moisture-absorbing, fertile and cultivated and have the composition:

• black soil;
• sandy loam;
• loam.

Preparing for landing

The soil for the planting hole is prepared in the fall. Contribute:

• compost;
• superphosphate;
• potassium chloride.

The earth is dug deep.

When planting, the root collar must not be buried.

A planting hole for a tree is prepared in advance. For this:

1. Dig a hole 60–70 cm in diameter, 1 m in depth.
2. A fertile soil layer is laid, 2 buckets of fresh humus are added, the same amount of sand and 200 g of superphosphate. The composition is mixed and covered with foil.
3. A bucket of water is poured into the pit and 400 g of fluff is put.
4. A stake is driven into the center of the hole, to which a seedling will be tied in the future.

Landing

After 10 days, start planting pears. The steps of the procedure are as follows:

1. A seedling is placed in the center of the pit and the voids are covered with a nutritious substrate.
2. When planting a young tree, the root collar is not buried. After planting, it should protrude 6-7 cm above the kidney.
3. For irrigation, an earthen rampart is arranged around the perimeter of the hole and 2-3 buckets of water are poured into the resulting "saucer".
4. The trunk circle is mulched so that a crust does not form on the surface.
