Default "Heeling in" plants for later transplant

We are having a swimming pool put in out backyard and we dug up a
bunch of plants including mature azaleas, to put aside for 12 weeks
while the pool is finished. We hope some will survive and can be used
in landscaping the pool after it tis complete. A local landscape
company placed them all close together and pushed some dirt up around
the bases, and adivsed us to use an osccillating sprinkler (not
impulse), on a timer. Does anyone have advice on methods to help
ensure the survival of these plants? Is any sort of plant food/
fertilizer of value? How much water should they get? Thanks very
much.

Jay
