I'm in the process of planting 15 (2ft) Needlepoint Holly bushes.
I've dug my holes about as deep as their original pot and twice as
wide. I have soil amendments to mix in with the dirt that came out of
the holes. Everything I've read says that you are not supposed to
push the dirt down around the plant, ie: don't stomp on it afterwards.
If I can't tamp the dirt around the plant, how do I make sure there
are no air pockets around the roots. Will a thorough watering get rid
of any open spots around the roots?

I've never read any directions like that? Push the dirt down with your
hands just enough to get rid of air pockets. Do not stomp it down with
your feet.
