Very typical. Filter cloth is a common area for a smaller company to skimp on, since it will work for a year or so, but quickly break apart. Just apply Round Up liberally a few times a year and it wont be so bad.
As for the OP, planting trees is simple. Ken pretty much has it right but I wouldn't bother with peat moss since it doesn't compact as well, which can lead to the tree tipping. fill with loam a couple inches above the root ball at most - any lower and you risk drowning the tree, you should double check with the place you bought the tree from though, they can verify for you. Once it is firmly in you can either cut back the wiring and burlap right away or just bend it back at first, and wait for a while to do a final cut - since trees are easier to straighten with the root basket intact.
