I bury in place.) And I remember digging up stuff that have been buried in place for three years, so I do not do that so much anymore. I just fertilize my ass off. That has worked the best. I use an organic chicken scat based dry fertilizer I get from Wally World. Weird, avacado pits are still popping out of the ground. from three years ago. Took me forever to figure out what they were. |
