The interval between shrubs is left taking into account the variety of garden jasmine, and it can be from 50 to 150 cm. If plants are used to create a green fence, then the interval is 50-70 cm.

The size of the landing pit is 60 * 60 * 60 cm, 15 cm of the drainage layer, including sand and brick chips, is laid on the bottom.

Next, pour out a little prepared soil mixture. When the earth settles, a seedling is placed in it, the root neck is placed at a level with the soil surface. The hole is covered with a nutrient substrate. Watered on 1 shrub about 20-30 liters of water.

After a few days, the trunk area is covered with mulch (I use peat or sawdust), its thickness is about 3-4 cm.
