| klc210 | On November 12, 2022 | Maintenance performed (Using Harris Neem Oil concentrate I sprayed entire plant including stems & leaves both front and back. Also used same concentrate to drench the roots (using about 2-3 cups for the drench) |
| klc210 | On October 15, 2022 | Transplanted Moved from container to front yard corner to the left of porch steps. (Dug hole, broke up dirt (clay) on sides and botttom of hole with the shovel. Put a thin layer of new dirt (2 bags of Miracle Grow garden soil & 1 bag of black cow manure mixed) at bottom of hole. Took the grass from digging the hole and broke & ripped it up then put on bottom of hole. this was for the organic matter that I found mentioned with planting instructions. I then finished filling the hole with the dirt mixture pressing down slightly to avoid empty spaces around roots. When the hole was halfway full with the plant stabalized I poured Bonide Root & Grow Concentrate, a root stimulator and plant starter, all over the roots making sure I didnt miss any. when possible I dunked the roots into the liquid then poured it onto the roots.) |
