christie christie Member Registered: 11/17/08 Posts: 4	I'm a newbie. Came to this site last fall. Dug up all my liriope yesterday and separated. Digging new trenches today along the border of my natural area. My soil is mostly clay. How deep to dig holes and what to mix in with existing soil? I purchased compost and potting soil yesterday. Anything else I need to know for success?

Mix a little compost in each hole. Don't use potting soil for anything but potting up plants. It actually doesn't contain any soil at all, and will eventually lose it's ability to store water. It's best to even remove as much of the potting soil you can when planting potted plants. _________________________
