Material Preparation

For field collected stock, choose healthy clumps. Dig up and gently plunge, wash soil from the roots. Carefully prize apart the root system for each section of the clump, ensure each section has roots attached, remove half the foliage from each section. Drop all sections into a mild solution of Phosacid bath to kill any Phytopthera etc., from the field collection. Drain. Keep moist during preparation.

For nursery stock, remove from the pot. Carefully divide up and cut the root system with a sharp knife for each clump, ensure each section has roots attached. Remove damaged roots. Cut off the top 1/2 of the foliage. Keep moist during preparation.

Premium Potting Mix

For direct planting, enrich the garden soil with compost

Treatment

Keep hydrated during prep. Pot up as soon as possible. Water in with dilute 30ml Seasol solution to 5 lt. water. Place outside and keep moist until re-established.
