Planting trees tonights.

Read that you shouldnt put the tablet under the tree? When using a dibbler on bareroots, where are you supposed to put it? Always concerned a weed will dig its spiny roots into my tree's tablet, so I put it in the holes then try to dibble it over to the side under the tap root.

Got 10 gram 20-10-5. Almost out, should I order a different one? spruce trees and fruit mostly apple.
 
You never want tree roots to directly touch the fertilizer tablet before it dissolves as it can kill the tree.

I put a 2nd spend hole about 3 inches from the 1st hole with the tree in it.
 
Im not the sharpest tool in the shed, it takes me a dozen or so bareroots to remember the little things I did with them last year.

25 poplar in. 25 spruce 25 apple 10 pine to go tomorrow. Had more tablets than I thought I had, so I dont have to skimp on them.
