1. Any part that is getting buried should have the leaves removed.
2. At least the cotyledons should be removed.
3. If the plants are long & leggy, it might be good to remove some more bottom leaves and bury deeper.
4. Remove any leaves that aren't perfect, such as yellowing leaves.
5. Bury the stem a bit below the bottom set of leaves you've left on. Try to keep the bottom leaves off the dirt.
6. If it's possible, have a few sets of leaves below the flowers. Because: you will want to keep the fruits off the ground, and later on you'll want to remove the leaves below the flowers/fruits to cut down on disease.
