Well it depends. generally you want to add some good compost, dolomite lime (more or less depending on acidity of native soil), I always like to add blood and bone meal, some manure, perilite, all that good stuff, mix it in with native soil and you should be good to go.

i was thinking of making some super soil home then bring it in and mixing with the soil at my spot ,about 1/3super soil and 2/3 soil that ill be digging up form my holes

it needs more nutes probably then using supersoil as an amendment. I would say atleast find some good compost if you cannot get all the other adds.

You should test your soil so you know what you are dealing with, a test kit is cheap. Perlite is very good as most soil is to compact for optimal plant growth. Again this is area dependent.

If no ones there to water these I woudn't invest shit.Unless you live in the rain forest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will be able to water once a week

put any bone meal or blood meal at least 6 inches below the surface. make two layers of improved soil. the meal will be waiting for your roots. if you have meal near the top, animals will dig it up.

i really wanted to have time to bring roots organic soil to my spot but im going to be spending most of my time moving.im going to spend a week end digging and preparing the soil.its not a far move me only about 10 miles so i can still take care of them.

compost is a must, peat, perlite, all that good stuff bury a fish or two about 9in to a foot down.

my holes are going to be 2by2 and 2 feet deep.this is what im thinking of doing.go to my spot and dig and prepare holes 3 weeks before i move my plants to there new home.when i dig my holes im thinking of adding
3 tbl of green sand
4 tbl of bone meal
3 tbl of blood meal
4 tbl of kelp meal
4 tbl of dolomite lime
6 tbl of dry 5-5-5 fert. by foxfarm
2 tbl of powdered rock phosphate
1tspn of azomite(trace elements)
worm castings
perlite
mix all this with the soil,let it sit for 2 weeks,then do soil test(bring ph up or down)then put plants in there new home
do you think the soil will be too hot?the holes are good size 2 feet by 2 feet,almost 10 gal of soil

Perlite and vermiculite stand out and catch the eye.

Good, half rotted compost will serve as a soil conditioner and provide nutes, as well.

Once planted, gather leaves and dead grass and place a deep layer around each plant.

This helps conserve water and keeps the root zone cool.
