Amber if I were you I would pot the daylilies so that everything is in there. Then all you have to do is pull them out of those one gallon pots and put them in your raised bed. I would put a coffee filter in the bottom of your one gallon pot. Fill a one or two inches of compost or manure. Mix garden soil 50/50 with potting mix make a mound for daylilies to sit on. Sprinkle soil mix around roots you do not want the next step to actually touch roots. Make a well or wedge around the inside of pot sprinkle alfalfa and milorganite around well and then cover that with soil mixture. When the bed is ready each daylily is set to go. If you think it needs more compost or fertilizer then add to the bottom of hole. I am sorry I am not familiar with clay soil. I have acidic sand. May you have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend!
One to take to heart....1 John 4 ..............................................Where there is smoke...there is fire...in most cases the smoke will kill you long before the fire consumes you. Beware of smoke screens! Freedom is not free and when those who have not paid the price or made the sacrifice...think that only they are right and entitled to speak...they bring us tryanny.
