And right on regarding tree staking and doing the super big and amended planting hole.
I always told customers they were, in effect, creating a container in the earth.
I will say that I like to throw a few big handfuls of leaf compost onto the soil pile that I will backfill into the hole for shrubs and perennials.
I feel like it is a chance to inoculate the area with microbes and a some foodstuffs for them and the native microbes to feed and grow off of.
