Dig a whole twice as big, both width and depth as the current pot its in and mix in some ericaceous compost with the existing soil. Soak the plant for 10 mins before planting and then water again once in.
Confused? I am!
Any clarification as what to do next would be very much appreciated.

All,
Thought i'd resurrect this thread as i think it might be the right time to get the Acer in the ground now. (well this coming weekend)
To re-cap its an Osakazuki that i bought back in November of last year.
I have a spot in the garden ready for it, i would just like some final clarification about the best way to prepare the hole and how to plant etc.
Is the following advice from the garden centre along the right lines?
"Dig a whole twice as big, both width and depth as the current pot its in and mix in some ericaceous compost with the existing soil. Soak the plant for 10 mins before planting and then water again once in."
Do i need to plant it deep in the hole and really hide the rootball? Or does it need to be towards ground level?
Do i need any feed or anything in the hole as well as a bit of ericaceous compost?
Any help would be very very much appreciated............
Cheers, Mick
