Just a followup...

The stuff was just too light. Therefore, I did a mix of about 1/2 soil to
1/2 compost. Probably more soil near the bottom of the hole. That seems to
set the plant better. Then I top dressed around the plant with all compost.

Lots of transplants. Lets hope they take. Thanks for your time.

The local nursury is selling compost. $23/yard vs $20/yard for loam.
Their loam is way to rocky. I am building raised beds. Will a raised bed
of compost have enough structure for growing large shrubs?

I know this sounds like a crazy question, but this stuff is so light and
fluffy. Really nice though.
Thank you.
