Do I need to till before planting new plants?
Comments (7)Everything you want to plant should do fine on a dig + plant + native soil fill...technically you've already loosened the soil up digging the other plants out. If you choose to amend your fill...do so with mostly native soil to prevent the root from balling up in too-rich/amended soil. Also, your azalea will want acidic soil...you may or may not want to lower your soil pH with amendments. Unless your Zone 9 is in an area prone to caliche deposits (desert areas) you most likely don't need additional tilling...and even then only to break up deposits...and even then you'll probably need something stronger than a tiller unless it's a shallow/thin deposit.

Comments (2)You need to post more photos. It looks like maybe you could take out the grass growing in the bed next to the house on right side. A lot of people dislike 'meatball' shrubs but they don't bother me. I am not a fan of the center island. I would remove it and have grass there. Yes, I see there is a light there but it could be mowed around. Do you know the names of any of the plants? What USDA zone are you in?...See MorePLANTS - Need some ideas on new Plants!! Help!!!

Comments (35)RE: BLUE CHIFFON My experience is that it is not sterile, but it seeds much much less than other ones. I had a pink one that left hundreds and hundreds of seedlings. I think Blue Chiffon is so pretty it's worth the risk of a couple dozen seedlings. You can reduce the # seedlings by deadheading before the seedpods form. If you are late, you lose....See More
