How deep was the fresh poop when you transplanted into it? Is there a chance that plant roots went diving through the poop and into the soil beneath it? They might be thriving from what leaches out of the poop and into the soil (sub-soil?)



Some of it's not too deep; maybe six inches or so, but other beds are at least 12" deep...maybe more. I think they aimed for 18" sections when cutting the logs. The roughly circular bed with the mums is the shallowest toward the center because what's left of a huge tree stump is buried there.
