Plant your organic garden.
o Water your plants before planting to moisten the root ball and lessen the shock of transplanting.
o Dig holes with a hand spade at the appropriate distance apart as indicated by the type of plant. Make the holes as deep as the root ball and 2 times as wide. Fill in dirt around the plants and pack slightly.
o Add a protective layer of mulch, grass clippings or hay to keep in moisture and keep weeds down. Gently spread the mulch evenly with a garden rake and hand rake.
o Water your plants immediately after planting.
