Im going down to NC in a couple of weeks (chapel hill) to visit my dad..
and while im down there im going to plant some small trees out around his
house to let em grow for a few years. some japanese maple seedlings and
hinoki cypress is on my list so far. i know the soil down there is largely
clay... and it is in a new development... so im sure much of any beneficial
topsoil was removed. i havent dug down around the area i will plant
before... i know it is well mulched.... as is anything that is planted down
there. (up north here .. landscapers mulch down around the bases of
trees..in NC.. it seems.. any tree they put in has like a baseball mound of
mulch around it...but anyway)and lots of sod in the yards. should i prepare
the soil before i plant them? any guidelines or tips? thanks
