It is all correct and definitly the best way to plant them as there is no maintenance of them afterwards. Just a tip though, the polyprop goes all over the place when you are pushing the edges into the ground. Stretch it out, put a heavy weights on each end (stones) and then stand ON the fabric to keep it in place while you jam it into the ground.
