The message
from bobharvey contains these words:

You will almost certainly want to improve the soil somewhat, at least
to give it a decent start. Dig out a biggish hole and mix any
vegetable matter/ well rotted compost/ riding school waste into the
existing stuff - the rubble will help with drainage.

Old bones, leather woollens, etc in the bottom of the pit will continue
providing nutrients for yonks, slowly, and encourage roots to go deeper
than they otherwise might.

(This is a good ploy for planting rhubarb, too, BTW.)
