Twenty three young plants were placed out on the planters, crosses cut through the membrane, the edges folded back, soil carefully removed and placed temporarily in a pot, the plant placed in the hole, the soil in the pot used to backfill around the plant and the membrane edges folded back around its neck. Before the top dressing of gravel was added the surface was swept clean of soil debris created from the digging. Trugs, with ropes attached, were filled with gravel and lifted from ground level to the planters, their contents poured around the plants covering the membrane. Lastly the plants were given a good watering in.
This process was repeated on the other two planters and the project in now finished.
