| Shrub - Planting Properly |
| Q: |
A few months ago I had a professional installer plant a large number of bushes around my house. He used a method that violates my own knowledge of planting. I was told his method was advocated by a UGA professor who had done a great deal of research supporting the technique. In planting azaleas, for example, he would merely dig a hole of sufficient width to accommodate the root ball, then insert the plant into the hole without doing a thing to the tightly packed roots. He'd stomp the dirt down around the root ball and that was it. After about five months of very little growth, I examined the plantings. I found pockets of air around and under some of those I looked at - plus mold, insects and slugs. I pulled several out of the ground and replanted them in a hole three times the size of the root ball. In the two months since I replanted, the azaleas are virtually exploding with new growth. |
