       10 . A method of planting items, said method comprising the steps of forming a flexible trough having a first and a second end and a generally semi-circular reception portion; digging a trench in a desired shape; placing said flexible trough into said trench; forming a divot member; attaching said first end to said second end, effective to capture said divot member between said attached first and second ends; and anchoring said divot member within said trench; effective to anchor said flexible trough within said trench.  
   
   
       11 . The method for  claim 10  further comprising the step of forming said divot member in the form of a heel.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the steps of forming water emanation holes within said flexible trough above said generally semi-circular reception portion.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising the step of coupling said formed water emanation holes to a source of water.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising the step of forming stiffening ribs within said generally semi-circular reception portion.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the steps of forming a plurality of drainage holes within said generally semi-circular reception portion.  
   
   
       16 . A method for planting items comprising the steps of: 
 forming a flexible trough member having a generally semi-circular reception portion including a plurality of drainage holes, said flexible trough member further having a pair of opposed raised lips and a plurality of liquid emanation holes which are linearly coextensive to said pair of opposed raised lips and which reside above said generally semi-circular reception portion; 
 cutting said flexible trough member into a pair of members;  
 digging a first trench; placing a first of said pair of members into said first trench;  
 digging a second trench which is nested in relation to said first trench;  
 placing a second of said pair of members into said second trench; and  
 coupling a first of said raised lips of said first of said pair of members with a first of said raised lips of said second of said pair of members, effective to couple said first of said pair of members to said second of said pair of members.  
   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the steps of: 
 providing a source of water; and    coupling said provided source of water to said liquid emanation holes.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising the steps of: 
 forming a heel shaped divot member; and    placing said heel shaped divot member through said first of said pair of members and into said first trench, effective to anchor said first of said pair of members within said first trench.    
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the steps of: 
 forming a second heel shaped divot member; and    placing said second heel shaped divot member through said second of said pair of members and into said second trench, effective to anchor said second of said pair of members within said second trench.
