I am interested in your progress also. I'm retired now, so I am going to start one by one digging up the hostas that are struggling, put more cow manure in the holes and add water crystals to each hole. Not only do I have digging critters and deer, also have tree roots that crowd hoastas an soak up all the water & nutrients.
Last summer, I had dh split some humongous Krossa Regals (about 4'x4') in front of house and got 7 new large plants to fill in spots in 1 bed around the trees. I lost a Sagae, 5 Elegans, and 1Sum & Substance in that bed 2012-2013.
