-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A big question no matter where you go is how and what to plant on that hill or steep bank. Well, you can plant just about anything without washouts. Prepare your site like always............. Now, if you purchase plants, trees, shrubs, remove them from the nursery container, cut out the bottom and cut the container in 2 pieces (cutting up and down). Place your plant in the hole and put the pot (collars) around your plant, leaving it a couple of inches above the ground. Once your plant is established,(roots will grow deep) feel free to remove the collar. The collar/pot works to hold water and prevent erosion. When planting seedlings or small plants, use paper cups. Cut out the bottum , cut a slit down the side of the cup in needed to get around your plants and nature will take care of the rest. By the time the paper falls apart, your plants should be well established. Any questions? Ron
I never thought about using the pot as support until the plant was established. Very good tip, thank you.
