1. DAY 1: Make the planting hole 15 cm (6 inches) deep do not dig deeper leave the capillary canal structure below it intact
2. DAY 1: Put 40 liters (10 gallons) of water if the soil has no water holding capacity put 20 liters if it has
3. DAY 2: Open the soil to let oxygen enter
4. After a few hours you can start to plant
5. Put the wick in from the inside and pull it with a pliers
6. The wick is placed well alongside of the opening
7. Put the two upstanding edges in the openings of the lips
8. Put the two siphons and click them thoroughly

10. Tree saplings have twisted roots
11. Detail of destroyed rounded growing primary root
12. Through pruning the horizontal parts the roots can resprout and grow vertically downwards
13. If the roots are still small, you cut 5 cm (2 inches) of the bottom of the bag including the roots
14. This is how you remove the destroyed horizontal growing part of the root
15. Now you have created a vertically downwards growing primary root
16. Three months after planting the primary root resprouts
17. Over 20 new vertically downwards growing pimary roots will grow to over 50 meter (150 Ft) deep
18. You cut the bag carefully in the length
18. You cut the bag carefully in the length
20. Determine the design of planting distance in an east-west direction
21. You place the tree with the bag then take the bag off
22. While planting take the plastic off
