no about tenth year, but only 5 seasons with large numbers. ive always gone right in the ground, till last year, idid most in ground and couple dozen in bags. i dig my holes the fall or spring before. last year i dug over 500 holes, amended 250 of them, not knowing how many id actually need, covered with leaves and crap and marked with dead branches till plants were ready to go out. i pick the spots with a number of things in mind, one of which is the moisture in the soil. so after digging and preparing 500 holes, summer comes and we get a drought, which by mid july, made the soil like dust. anyways i stilll used the holes cause im only 1 person with 1 shovel and there was no time to redo, except for the ones that were really terribly dry, i threw in 10 gal bags and put them in some spots that are normally swamp, but it was so dry, they were just muddy. and those plants ended up doing pretty well. i had 2 agent oranges by tga in bags, and easily got over a pound off each, plus hauling water is NOT practical for me, i use time release ferts, and the ones in bags never needed a drop, they wicked up the perfect amount of moisture from the muck, but the ones in the ground, which have never needed watering any other year, required several emergency water trips. so, i was impressed with the growth in the bags, i didnt have to haul water, and i came across alot of damp places when trying to find spots for those 2 dozen bags
, minimum 3 mil, preferably 5 mil. x alot, maybe 300-500. for CHEAP? thanks.
