Simple steps to follow when planting shrubs. How to plant properly. A how-to instructional video from The Garden Continuum in Medfield, MA.

why cant the amendment be identified
Yea, what was the material from the bag?
What was added to the back fill?
nice video man u dont know how much this helped
Hi, thanks for the video. I just bought a few barberry bushes to plant. What did you use to backfill? I purchased tree and shrub soil. Do I backfill with that? Also will this shrub grow even though there are still tree roots from a tree I cut down in April nearby?. There are roots (maybe 1.5" in diameter) that I plan on sawing out with a saw. So there won't be any roots within the diameter of the hole. Will the shrub still grow???
what type of amendment?
Looks like he used Plant-tone 5-3-3
i was going to ask the same thing. can't hear what you're adding to backfill. please advise? thanks
+GardenContinuumINC So would you fill the hole with water if the soil was moist clay?
uh oh i didnt rip the roots a little when i just planted
Nice! Getting ready to plant some shrubs tomorrow!
Yes, what was the mix-in with the backfill? You mentioned it twice and both times the traffic noise drowned you out.
What did you add to the back fill?
what was in the bag and what does it do?
@DrSimmons100 Thanks! I have heard of it but I think its a zone 7 minimum? We are stuck in New England zone 5. Would love to have more of a plant pallet but we can only work with what survives!
