Planting day has arrived!

After making a nice hole and using half of the dirt removed, we prepared more special soil mixture using native soil combined with worm castings, potting mix, black kow manure, mycorrhizae granules, azomite power, gypsum, humic acid and some more 13-13-13 granular.

I placed 3 Wallace's slow release fertilizer packets into the hole and filled in using my mixture, orientating the first true leaf away from the direction I need the main vine to go. As she grows, the hole will get filled in and then eventually mounded around the vine stem. Lots of mycorrhizae granules on the bare roots when going in, then watered deeply.
