SHEILA....COVER THE ROOTS AND DONT WORRY ABOUT IT.....THEY WILL GROW INTO THE
NEW SOIL FASTER THAN YOU CAN PLANT HOSTA THERE....TRUST ME....IT HAPPENED TO
ME IN LESS THAN A YEAR.....JUST TAPER IT DOWN TO ZERO AT THE TRUNK.....LET IT
MAINTAIN ITS TRUNK TO ROOT TRANSITION AT THE SOIL LINE.....

KEN

PS:  KILL GRASS WITH ROUNDUP.....THEN PUT SOIL ABOVE.....IF YOU DISTURB THE
ROOTS[LIKE I DID WITH A ROTERTILLER], IT WILL QUICKEN THIER GROWTH INTO THE
NEW SOIL....MAKE THE NEW SOIL DEEP ENOUGH TO HOLD THE NEW PLANTS...AND PER
WILDDOG THE GRASS AND SUB-SOIL WILL DEGENERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH...

PPS:  DOES DAN NELSON...MR. TREEMAN AGREE WITH ANY OF THIS?????
