Here, the rootball is placed onto the wrapping material. Center it so that the four corners of the material can reach over the top of the ball. It is useful to have sized the material so that you can tie opposing corners together. That will take the slack out of the material, reducing the amount of additional securing that one must do to have a stable ball.

Now is when I take the time to clean up a little. Removal of excess vegetation from the top of the ball (read: weeds) and a little more smoothing helps prepare for pinning.
