Blimey, life got more complicated. Myco-fucking-what? Planting trench? Dig in a load of good old (at least four years) horse shit, blood and bone if you must, lever spade front and back, shove bare root into slot, stomp either side, NEXT!
Horse shit is generally free from most stables and absolutely free on most forums. Keep up the good work on the hodgepigs!

Yep, bought bare root whips. Will be delivered in November when the plants have gone into winter hibernation. 3 hours seems very optimistic - that's one plant every 2 minutes! I can't dig the planting trench the day before - the spoil needs to go on boards on the pavement as I can't put it on the new turf, and it's a rather antisocial tripping hazard left overnight. And then there's the Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi dip to be applied to each plant. And the bonemeal layer. Makes me tired just thinking about it!
