When we started digging the planting hole on the other side of the patch we noticed there were a ton of roots growing through the patch. We have never dug out a planning site and reused it the following year, until now. We saw a ton of roots growing through the soil. Thinking back on Joel Holland�s comment about the root congestion being a potential cause we decided to stop digging for the evening and come back tomorrow and massively expand these planting holes. This way we would be giving the roots all sorts of areas to grow in and not have to stop the roots when the hit the hard clay that the patch is built on. We packed up for the night and made a reservation for a U-Haul trailer. Jeff and I were going to need to move some serious amounts of heavy gray clay tomorrow.
