Dig Planting Holes and Install Weed Barrier

What happens here

For each plant, use a gas-powered auger to dig the initial holes, ensuring they are slightly wider and deeper than the plant's root ball. Refine the holes with a shovel to achieve the correct depth and shape, removing any compacted soil from the sides. Once all holes are dug, unroll and lay landscape fabric (weed barrier) across the entire surface of the prepared beds, overlapping edges slightly. Secure the fabric with landscape staples. Use a propane torch or sharp knife to carefully cut 'X' or circular openings in the fabric directly over each planting hole, ensuring the fabric is snug around the base of where the plant will be.

Goal: Dig appropriately sized holes for each plant using an auger and shovel, then lay down landscape fabric across the beds, securing it and cutting holes for the plants.
