I'm wondering if there is a specific term in English for this process of soaking the bare roots of the trees to be transplanted in a soil, manure, ash and water mud mix prior to planting, or not.
Any viable suggestions will be appreciated. One source gave "puddling" as the term but it has negative connotations that are not in this Italian term.

Giles Watson
: The Lexique de la Vigne et du Vin suggests "pralinage", which sounds so much nicer than "dipping the roots of rooted vines in a mixture of water, clay and cow-dung before planting". This hedge-related EU site www.hedges.educagri.fr/ gives "root dressing"

Puddling is the tillage of rice paddies while flooded, an ancient practice that is used to prepare for rice cultivation. Historically, this has been accomplished by dragging a weighted harrow across a flooded paddy field behind a buffalo or ox, and is now accomplished using mechanized approaches, often using a walking tractor.

ref. re roses
Dando per assodato che le buche d'impianto siano già state preparate per tempo, ora è il momento di procedere con l'inzaffardatura, cioè la posa delle radici in un composto vischioso e concimato che ne promuoverà la subitanea ripresa vegetativa. In contenitori o secchi capienti dovrete preparare una miscela fatta di acqua, terriccio torboso e letame maturo (anche del tipo pellettato comunemente venduto nei garden), che mescolerete fino ad ottenere una soluzione vischiosa e non troppo liquida. Immergetevi quindi le radici e lasciate riposare almeno 3-4 ore, al termine delle quali potrete finalmente porre a dimora i vostri rosai.
