1. The selected landing zone is dug up. A small part of sand and humus is introduced into the ground, which helps to increase the airtightness of the soil.
2. A pit 45-55 cm deep is dug.
3. A drainage layer is laid at the bottom.
4. A seedling is lowered into the recess. The root system is leveled.
