Planting Steps:

Choose a site with well-drained soil and sunny place.

Dig a hole 12" wide and the length of the roots. Add any compost in the bottom of the hole. Plant the roots 1" to 2" below the soil level with the eyes (buds) pointing up. If planting more than one, plant 2-3 feet apart to allow enough space. Do not allow any air pockets, adding pressure to compact the soil.

Once planted, gently give water around the plant. Add a light mulch or chopped leaves to reduce weeds and to regulate soil temperature and moisture. Water every day for 5 days in the morning or evening, unless it rains or there is lots of moisture. Be sure not to over water.
