Well now I am REALLY BUMMED out... After all the hostas I planted last year
and hoping that they will get much HUGE'R this year - now I find out that I
have been planting them all wrong.....
It useda be that I would plant my potted plants (hostas included) with as
little disruption as possible to the roots, thinking they would do better if
they were left intact. Now I find that you should "straighten out'" that root
mass and even cut the roots with a knife to encourage growth..
Am I EVER going to get to the point where my hostas will amount to anything ?
Should I dig them up and work the roots over? You know, if I had hands like
Jason had in Halloween ...Hmmm
