Transplant Seedlings
Supplies needed:
  A filled watering can 
  A narrow trowel
  Your garden plan indicating seedling locations
  Your Tray of hardened-off seedlings
To transplant seedlings, take entire Bowl and Tray outside. 
Follow these 4 basic steps for each seedling until entire Tray is 
planted:
1) Dig hole;
2) Remove seedling from Tray;
3) Place seedling in hole and fill; and
4) Water seedling.
Remove Seedling from Tray
•  Lift Tray from Bowl.
•  With finger, gently push up on Grow Sponge bottom.
•  Remove from Tray holding Grow Sponge – not plant.
•  Return Tray to Bowl.
Dig Hole
•  Insert trowel about 3” (7.6cm) into soil at marked  
location.
•  Pull trowel toward you to create an opening in soil 
and leave trowel in soil…
Place Seedling in Hole and Fill
•  With trowel still in soil, put Grow Sponge in hole so 
its top is about ½” (1.2cm) below the surface.
•  Hold Grow Sponge in place and pull out trowel.
•  Fill with soil around, and to the top of Grow Sponge.
•  Lightly press down soil to remove air pockets. At the 
same time, make a shallow, bowl-shaped, depression 
around base of seedling. This will help direct water 
toward your plant.
Water Seedling
Water each seedling at its base by pouring 1 to 2 cups 
(.23 to .47 liters) of water into depression immediately 
after transplanting. (Do not pour water on top of delicate 
seedling!). 
Repeat these 4 steps until all seedlings from Tray are planted. 
Once finished, go back and give each seedling another cup or 
two of water.
