That is what I used to do back in Indiana. It will be a few years before I can get away with that here though. Soil is too poor.
So for now, compost and dirt and a bit of slow release dry organic ferts..watered with compost tea and inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi. All to stimulate the biology to heal the soil. So that one day here too I can just dig a hole and drop the seedling in.
