The usual rule of thumb is a hole twice as big as the plant roots + dirt. Break up the roots a little before putting in the ground and cover with the dirt you've already removed. Cover the entire area with mulch, it will help the water stay in the ground and looks very nice too. Water everyday unless it rains well. And there you go...a beautiful garden. If you use the weed block keep an exacto knife handy, you'll want to cut an "X" in the weed block to dig your hole to plant.
Many questions can be looked up at almanac.com...a wonderful site for gardeners. Good luck with your garden. It is a lot of work, but well worth it!!!!
Help! How do I go about planting a flower garden, or just a garden?
You are welcome, and again good luck!! Report It
Reply:We just did our first one. We used a roto tiller to churn up a planned area of space. Then added some manure and peat and churned that in. After that we planted everything we wanted and voila our garden is growing like crazy! I can't wait to pick things!!
Good luck!
