What are the five steps in transplanting seedlings to the garden?
What will be an ideal response?
The five steps in transplanting seedlings to the garden are:1.
Water the plants to be transplanted the evening before or at least several hours
before transplanting.
2. If plants are grown in peat pots, peel off the top half of the pot and break off the
bottom, unless the roots are already growing through the pot.
3. If plants are grown in flats, cut the soil between the plants and lift them out with a
putty knife or other small tool. Leave as much soil around the roots as possible.
Handle carefully.
4. Check the distance apart at which the plants are to be placed and set them
immediately in the garden soil. Place the plants a little deeper in the garden soil than
they grew in the original container. Plant tall, spindly plants, especially tomatoes,
deeper.
5. Pull soil toward the plant and firm slightly. Fill the hole only two-thirds full. Stop and
water enough to settle the soil around the roots. Pull in enough dry soil to level the
hole and cover the wet area.
