Smart water: “Plants use water like we humans use sunscreen. Dig in: “Be sure to follow the plant tag’s instructions and dig the plant hole twice as wide (not deep) and mix in compost or planting mix to amend the planting hole. All of the cultivated soil will have plenty of air space around your young new plant and when you water, the water will have a wonderfully loosened soil to infiltrate and keep your new plant hydrated.”
