Tree Planting with BOXofGREEN

This is how we plant trees with BOXofGREEN in most cases:

1: To plant the tree correctly, start by digging a square hole approximately 140x140x70 cm. (If planting in heavy clay soil, dig about 50 cm deeper and fill the bottom with drainage material.)
2: Grab the four straps on the BOXofGREEN box and lower the entire box—including the hessian sack—into the hole.
3: Fill the inside with growth soil while the outside is filled with soil, sand, or growth soil.
4: Place the tree in the center of the hole and fill in with growth soil. Firm the soil thoroughly to ensure stability.
5: Secure the tree with 2–3 stakes placed inside the BOXofGREEN box.
6: Finish by adding 300–400 liters of water per box within 14 days after planting.
Depending on rainfall, watering should be done 5–7 times over the first two growing seasons—but after that, nature takes care of the rest.

Of course, we occasionally have to adapt the solution to the specific task—such as when underground space is limited, which is sometimes the case in urban environments, or when trees are to be planted on a slope, or when the goal is to revitalize older trees.
But we ALWAYS find a solution, no matter the nature of the task.
