All it takes is the soil to be water saturated for a few days and your plants are dead. The roots need to breath, thats why the grow books stress soil with good drainage. I advise multiple locations of a few plants each not just for safety reasons but also to learn from experience how plants grow in specific locations. Gardeners often plant in the spring in a built up mound to prevent spring water saturation, then as the season gets hotter and dryer the roots spread down. Happy growing
nitepharmer Reviewed by nitepharmer on . your thought - my concern (soil) I just put my baby into the ground today i like to get your thought about the soil of my location. i test the soil with my RAPITEST METER - the meter shown in between 6.3 - 7 the soil is black and moist, i hope is rich in natural nutes. i did not add any nutes or fert not even water after i put it in the hole, just the soil from the cup it was originately in sat in. the problem i have is the soil its kinda sticky when you squeeze it it almost like clay but i doubt it the place going to dry Rating: 5
