Default Planting Question

This is the best time of year to transplant and plant provided soil is not boggy
or mucky from rain.

Do not amend the soil which you put back in the hole. Always top dress using a
few inches of compost and mulch after you fill the hole back in with the native
soil you removed. Never add anything to the hole itself, and always make sure
you rough up the sides of the hole. A shovel can leave sides slick and hard for
roots to penetrate...thus, creating a pot in the ground.
