They are not 5 gallon buckets they were actually planter pots that you would normally use above ground. They come in such a variety of shapes and sizes so it lets you tailor it to the landscape you want. 5 gallon buckets would not be a bad idea but it would be quite a deep hole and lots of empty space to fill.

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry I’m just now seeing this…it’s been a busy spring!! The pots do not come with holes, but they have tabs that can be pushed out to make holes or you can drill a few drain holes in the bottom. I agree you don’t want them to be solid because no plants like soggy roots! I think these specific pots came from Lowes but you can use anything you want… I was just looking for some type of durable plastic that wasn’t flimsy and would break easily.

Can I ask a question about weeds? I noticed with your digging, there is none of that black weed guard paper there. How do you keep the weeds out of an area like that? I’m trying to work in my own garden, and weeds are a constant problem. I hate that weed guard stuff, because once you put it down, you can’t dig anymore if you want to later add another plant. I want a clean garden with mulch too, just not sure how to accomplish it! Help!

You can add fabric beforehand but if you’re covering with mulch weeds will eventually grow on top of the fabric. If you choose to him with a fabric you can cut where you want the plants to go.

IMO, to dig that large a shrub out of the ground and for it to do well, you would have to dig out a very large root ball. This would leave a big hole, plus many people wouldn't want to dig a hole to plant that size of plant. Most people want to plant a smaller plant and let it grow to be the size they want. The shrubs he took out look pretty common to me. I expect people can easily buy smaller versions.

@DaisyDukesLandscaping Жыл бұрын

Could be disease or insects…in either situations they aren’t likely to bounce back and if you have other arborvitae in close proximity they’ll probably start showing similar symptoms. They are a very finicky evergreen. Sorry probably not what you were wanting to hear.

@stephanieyates5653 Жыл бұрын

How do you kill the disease and insects to plant new scrubs? 🤔

@cherfromtn8225 Жыл бұрын

My first guess is that they are not getting enough water. I also would read about how to grow that particular type of arborvitae. There are lots of KZfaq videos about these plants. I think arborvitae like a lot of water--at least my Emerald Greens do. When I planted them, I put a ring of built-up soil out from their trunk (six inches beyond the edge of their branches) so the water would not run off, but would soak into their roots. This makes kind of a moat. Then when I watered well, the water would soak into their root ball and not just run off. When I first planted mine, I watered well 3 times a week for several weeks. Then I watered twice a week for 2 weeks during the hotter summer. I still water them if it hasn't rained. This may be overkill, but mine are doing great. I have heard that arborvitae can get mites, so that would be something to check. Also, I used Plant Tone fertilizer the second year (just a general slow-release fertilizer) and that seemed to perk mine up a bit.

@solarroofing8072 2 жыл бұрын

plants will do better if planted in the soil. don't leave the plants in the black plastic containers, they will jsut die if they are not watered constantly and will become root bound and not product as many flowers. also add about 10x more compost to the bush holes than he did. a couple handfulls in bottom of hole is not enough. an entire bag per hole is needed

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 2 жыл бұрын

Plants will do better in the soil long term, however an annual plant that dies after one growing season does not need to establish roots like a perennial plant would. You are right though about watering… a plant in a container will need more attention for watering because it is not absorbing as much through the ground. Now I’m regards to the compost I wouldn’t be too quick to give out “blanket advice”. Some plants will thrive with more compost that part is true, however others will struggle because the more compost you add the more it changes the pH level of the soil. A few handfuls in the bottom of the whole mixed in with the original soil and a little more mixed in as you back fill is the safe bet for most plants.

For those wanting to extend their annual plant’s life they could always add potting soil to the planters and remove the possibility of it being root bound as quickly. Then they still have clean holes every season, but it’s much easier to “pluck and plop” new plants in.
