Invest In The Hole For Better Home Garden Results
Home gardeners should allocate most funds to the planting hole rather than the plant. Dig a 5 by 5 foot hole, 3 to 4 feet deep, fill with water to test drainage, then add well rotted manure, ammonium phosphate, and soil sulfur. Build layers with soil sand and peat moss around the root ball, soak thoroughly. Maintain weekly watering.
