Ray, I do the digging in late winter or early spring when the ground is
'loose'. It is a lot of work but being bull-headed enough not to let
the roots win out gives the incentive to keep at it. I guess you could
also say that it was good exercise if you needed another excuse to go to
this trouble.
I live on 40 heavily wooded acres and have several hundred hostas. I
don't have much choice where to plant them other than near trees.
Maples are the worst but most all trees are a problem other then the
wild redbuds and dogwoods. I have some clear areas that receive 4 to 6
hours of midday sun and the hostas do well there except I get tired of
watering them through July and August.
The 6 mil plastic that I use is construction grade and comes in 10'/12'
widths so there are no seams. My problem is that I do not know if what
I have done is a permanent solution.
