The fertile layer of the earth should be left near the pit (it will still be needed). Fertilizer should be applied to the pit:

• Humus, peat - 2 - 3 buckets;
• Coarse sand - 1 - 2 buckets;
• Potassium sulfate - 3 tablespoons;
• Superphosphate - 1 glass.

The applied fertilizers in the pit should be mixed, pour 2-3 pails of water and leave for a week. The same pit size and preparation requires a colony pear "honey" (description, photo, reviews below).

Landing

Before planting, you need to drive a peg 50 cm high into the center of the landing pit. The peg will act as a support and protect the seedling from overheating, so the tree should be located on the north side of the peg.

It is necessary to pour in the pit a fertile layer (the one that was laid aside) of the earth so that it forms a mound.

With the seedling cut the leaves, damaged roots. To pear "honey" is better suited, the roots should be dipped into an earthen chatterbox with heteroauxin.

The tree must be placed in a pit on a mound of earth and gently spread out all the roots. Gradually pour the soil, you can spill water so that the soil is better tamped.

The root neck of the tree should be above the soil level by 5-6 cm.
