Here Jeff is digging out the planting site of the 1400 Holland Seed. We discovered it went down about 3 feet. The bottom foot or so smelled horribly musty and rotten. That Cedar Grove Booster Blend is not decomposing well. That stuff is 3 years old down there and hasn�t hardly changed its composition. In talking with Joel Holland he suggested that foaming stump could be caused by root congestion. So we are digging out planting sites much wider and you can see in this picture. The old size (the black dirt shaft Jeff is digging) and the new size around it. We aren�t going to dig out that whole area but make the deep part wider and then have it slope up so it can have a much wider and deeper area to spread out. Increasing drainage as well.
