Site Preparation: Remove aggressive weeds and competing groundcover. Lightly cultivate soil where necessary to encourage rooting, but avoid deep digging that can damage existing roots. Planting Time: Spring or autumn planting is optimal for plug establishment. Planting Density: Space plugs 20–30cm apart to achieve full coverage and allow for natural spread. Watering: Water well after planting, particularly during dry periods. Once established, natural rainfall is usually sufficient. Maintenance: Annual light cutting or mowing helps maintain diversity, encourages self-seeding, and prevents dominance of vigorous species.
