I think Ticker meant do not replant it in the same hole from which you dug it. Each plant type extracts certain nutrients from the soil so it is better to replant in a different spot. Several feet should be adequate. It is the same process as farmers use in crop rotation. Garden vegetables are subject to the same process. Besides nutrients, diseases are a factor in replanting the same area with the same plants over a period of time. Short version--you should be ok by moving it 4 or 5 feet.
