What happens here

After digging, assess the soil composition. The video shows red clay soil, which benefits greatly from amendments. To improve soil structure, drainage, and nutrient content, mix compost or a specialized tree and shrub mix into the excavated soil. This amended soil will be used to backfill around the plant. For a raised garden bed, this step is crucial as it involves filling the bed with a rich, well-draining soil mixture.

Goal: Improve the native soil by mixing in compost or a tree and shrub mix to enhance its quality for planting.
