ii) Method and timing

Direct seeding and planting tubestock are common choices when revegetating areas, but you will probably want to consider the site, long-range weather forecasts, and availability of equipment and cost.
Seeding  and planting tubestock are likely to be most successful in spring (preferably September) when soil moisture levels are higher and the temperature is increasing, although autumn may also be possible in some years. It is possible to plant small numbers of tubetock at other times of year if regular hand watering is an option.
