Yeah definitely possible and as a matter of fact, I transplanted 3 full grown Crape Myrtle trees this month and about to do another one. My neighbor wanted to get rid of them so I dug them up and transplanted to my yard. That being said, I would trim as he suggested if you want to have a better chance at success and make sure to not leave air pockets in the soil and to get it super wet before putting the tree in and during through the rest of the process

Elderly friend donated her plants in middle of UK August heatwave! Kept in water for travel, dug large holes, planted with rose manure pellets in hole, compost & garden soil atop. Every layer watered and compost mulch on top. Will water daily, feed soil weekly & try to balance energy for root growth by nipping most of new leaf growth 🤞🤞🤞

Isn’t the plants root ball supposed to be a little above ground level to avoid water pooling up?
@SustainableStace3 жыл бұрын
Generally, roots want to be protected (covered) and moist. So . . . I always want the root ball below the line of grade so that water WILL pool above the root ball and help it establish strongly when it's trying to settle into its new home.

@@SustainableStace It still looks a little low to me. Over time the root collar of the bush can become too low as soil migrates into that low section from water movement and mulch breaking down on top, along with the fresh compost compacting in the bottom of the hole. Though rosemary bushes are a durable plant, It may be ok. I wouldn't do that with every plant. Hows it doing now?

@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
Dill grows for one year. Then it goes to seed. It's an annual. The seeds from last year's plant grow up as new plants. And, very likely the new starts will be nearby to the same spot the previous year's plant grew. So, when new little babes start out in spring, dig them up carefully and move them where you want.

I have heard advice counter to yours: that it’s best to plant trees using native soil rather than compost to encourage the roots to grow beyond the planting hole. I don’t have much experience with this and I have a Rosemary that I want to move. I just want to give it the best shot at flourishing in its new spot.

Thanks for your comment! I don't have any excess 'native soil' at our place AND our properties soil is terrible - all clay - to plant anything in our 'native soil' would be somewhat of a curse on the plant's future.

It's a good question Shawna. Some plants are much more vigorous than others. The goal is to provide the optimal conditions with the bone meal, compost and lime. With limited resources you diminish your chances of success. Every resource you contribute increases your odds of a 'win' in the transplant process. Every

What does the lime do and if u have alkaline soil already do u need this step? Does it depend on the plant?
@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
Lime sweetens the soil / raising the pH. Our climate and winters (west coast Canada) tend to lower pH and acidify the soil. So, in our area ALL transplanting includes lime :) As you likely know, only when the pH level of the soil agrees with the plant is it able to absorb nutrients from the soil. But, if you have alkaline soil you could avoid this step. You may need to add some form of sulfur to lower pH. The key is to know what the plant needs and help it out!

Hi how to transplant mature chili and bell pepper plants without doing harm and should I leave it in shade for 2 days after transplanting?
@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
Shade (cool & moist conditions in general) are always preferred transplanting conditions. Mature veggie plants are not generally supposed to be transplanted b/c they are meant to be tended in place and not transplanted once they are past seedling/start stage. I'm curious, are you wanting to relocate mature pepper plants b/c you are moving to a new home and don't want to leave the harvest behind ?

There's a mature blackberry bush that I have been thinking about transplanting to my backyard for some time now. How exactly do I do that, without damaging the roots of the bush?
@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
Hi Brianna - great question. blackberries tend to have lateral roots rather than a big tap root going down or a clump. I'd suggest: 1) Give the top a severe pruning as you'e about to start. I explain this lots in my thornless blackberry video! 2) do your best to locate the 2 or 3 main roots and try to give them 8-10 inches length from the bottom centre so they will be grabbing nutrients to feed the plant in the new location. 3) as mentioned in this video - use bonemeal and nourishing additives to the hole where the plant is heading. 4) stake the bush well when you transplant it so it cannot tip or be moved at all. This should help the roots find their groove. Good luck :)

Isn't it better to use what you have instead of buying new some don't have the extra 10 bucks to buy a new rosemary plant. It just seems wasteful to get rid of. We as humans should be more concerned with the worth of something that's seems biennial now but one day soon we might not have access to anymore considering the times we are living in. Everything has worth and purpose.
