I was planting today and began to wonder how others do it. I use my telescoping trowel to dig the hole where I want it. Once I release the plant from its container, I gently place it in the hole and then fill in around it with the trowel, righting it as necessary. I tamp down around it with the back of the trowel. (This is, of course, when the nine-year-old BassetDaughter is not around to steal the job from me...)
Any other approaches to this challenge?
