RE: My first video: Upvote a tree- Charity starts with Steemit. Your upvote will plant trees in Peru. 20 planted to date

I would suggest just mixing some worm castings and guano into the planting mix to boost your plants.
Just use water in the holes, it may take up to 24hrs+ to drain if the drainage is poor but you will see the results! (your soil looks to have adequate drainage so shouldnt take too long.)
I think one stake either side of the plants with a tie around the outside is best for support as it still allows the plants to move in the wind creating a stronger plant in the end.
Happy planting mate and hope to see more going in the ground soon :-)

ok I will get some worm castings and guano this week. I will make sure each new tree from now on has this. But tell me how much I should use per litre of fresh water. thank you boss.

Hard to give exact measurements without testing the organic matter but a good rule of thumb is to make it look like a weak tea.
