How To Plant
Learn how to plant a sapling or a tree
Learn how to plant a seedling with below mentioned tips:
- Dig a hole wide and deep enough to cover the root system.
- Handle seedlings by the base of the stem, taking care not to bruise the bark.
- Lay the roots straight down the hole in a natural arrangement. Do not bunch, spiral, double-over or bend roots.
- Keep stones and twigs out of the hole (they create air pockets that dry out roots).
- Plant seedlings slightly above the root collar swelling.
- Cover with soil. Do not bury live branches or foliage, or leave any roots exposed to the air.
- Tamp soil firmly with toe (not the heel) to remove air pockets.
- Create a mulched area around the tree that is 50 percent larger than the spread of the branches and five to 10 centimetres deep. Wood chips or shredded pine or cedar bark are great mulch, as are oak leaves and pine needles.

“Green Leap Campaign ” is definately one of the best measures for environmental benefits. I would definately like to be a part of this campaign as trees play a vital role in improving the quality of air , habitat , pollution and many others . I request more and more number of people to be a part and plant as much trees as you can ..
this is great effort by the gov. we should support it to make it a huge success
