All GREAT tips!!! But here's another problem from some of the nurseries that are promoting "NATIVE" plants...The soil they start their natives in pure compost...which means that once you install your new plant in your garden the soil that they used dries out faster than your own soil. IF you plant in the FALL...make sure you break the rootball up a bit so that the roots can get into your amended NATURAL soil... Then water deeply..until plant is established. Thank you Grat video!!
