Planting in topsoil.Gently move the mulch back from the dripline to reach the topsoil. The removal of the surrounding trees makes it very windy in the garden and we need to protect our topsoil from blowing away by adding open-ended remay tunnels, and covering with forest mulch. Forest mulch has the weight to withstand the wind while providing evaporation. Here is a video of how to do it. https://youtu.be/KRuLcXDFiE4

Planting with dibber to get the plant down deep.Give a new plant the best possible start by dibbing down deep into the soil. Brassicas like broccoli and cabbage need to be buried the deepest, way past their natal leaves up to their first pair of true leaves. Other crops should be buried 1/3 past the soil line up the stem so their roots start off deeper to access water and nutrients.
