Default RE: Planting trees

I was going to use the 10 gram starter tabs. http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/View_Catalog_Page.asp?mi=1618 I watched a video where they dropped the tablet into the hole, then inserted the bare root seedling, and closed the hole. Anyone see a problem in doing this?
Do not fertilize the trees in their first couple of years at least...it will stress them, especially if there is not adequate rainfall. Controlling the other vegetation is the main concern in the early stages of stand establishment. Site prep well and control weed/grass growth then you should have good results.
