As the last step in planting anything, my grandfather always stepped
on the soil by the plant and put his weight on that foot. He made
sure of contact. I've never forgotten his lesson--and do this to
this day.
Problem is, on clay soils it's possible to get the soil a bit TOO
firm. The method works best on clay soils if they're friable and
fairly rich in organics.
