Soil level
When transplanting, is it okay to put the soil level up higher on the plant
than it was before? I would think it would benefit the roots. People have told me it increases the chance of disease. Or does it depend on the type of plant? |

Soil level
Normal thing to do is at the SAME level as the old growing place.

With the exception of clematis, erring on the side of planting too high is far better than planting too deep. |
