This afternoon we worked in pairs to pot cabbage tree seedlings. We went on a stick hunt for pencil sized sticks that we could use to poke holes in the potting mix. Then, while one of the pair held the root trainer pot steady, the other poked a hole and gently planted the seedling. We talked about "tucking the roots into bed" so that they were covered in soil and would not get dried out. Then the seedlings had a good water while we had a good hand wash!
We potted 96 seedlings and there are still more to go!
