Karl, I went out to transplant a tree peony and P. America which were put in
too shady a place about 3 yrs. ago. The irrigation has had some broken areas
and they finally got them repaired and I have about 1 doz. plants to get in the
soil. We have been dry for 2 mos. but evidently it rained a fair amount
(after being bone dry some of the time the irrigation was off and I hope my newly
planted Siberians and JIs are going to survive). The soil was oversaturated
when I dug the holes to plant in and went whoosh and while I was digging the
plants 4" of water came up in the hole so I decided to pot the 2 plants and wait
for it to dry out. I complained and manager discovered that the hose was not
turned all the way off and a connection between 2 hoses had drenched the area.
Do you think it would help if I filled the hole in the bottom with leaves like
was suggested Ginny is suggesting? I have poor drainage and hard pan with a
bit of top soil and I have been adding several bags of composted cowconure for 8
years now and not much improvement. anna mae
