Transplanting Crowded Plants Garden Answer seriously? : Note: Most City Water and Fire districts will never allow a tree to be planted this close to a hydrant not only because of foliage but because of root systems especially in more moderate climates where main pipes are not buried as deep. If that tree variety is a slow grower recall the lessons learned in the 1970s when there were millions of Mugo pines planted as compact border shrubs. Easily ignored for being compact shrub-like - only if de-candled and faithfully pruned, they grew into enormous 30ft tall and wide trees in thirty years when given the no maintenance treatment and went on to bust up concrete driveways and public sidewalks or crack foundation walls and had to have tree services cut them up and dig out their enormous stumps below ground and repair the damage to infrastructure. In the 1960s in was the ubiquitous juniper tams. Unlike my 2 fir trees that grew 3ft taller every year with lots of irrigation and fertilizer we took out a dwarf Canadian spruce out of our landscape planted 40 yrs ago that was only 42 in tall. We found it had a taproot that was 3xs the dia. of the trunk above ground and main roots equally deep and spreading. It took two guys all day with chainsaws to dig it out to save the bed it was in. What may not be a problem for your family's stay in the house doesnt mean it wont be a problem for the city later. Most cities now restricts certain trees and shrubs within 20 ft of a hydrant check your ordinances. Frankly, Laura pruning, grooming, fertilizing is expected but 4yrs to replanting, dividing or moving does not fit my criteria for this area.

Laurie I have noticed on more than one occasion that you have a fine dust coming up towards you when you put fertilizer down. Please for the sake of your lungs wear a mask when at least doing fertilizers. I noticed at your home when you were spreading a big bag of Epsoma fertilizer over a raised bed there were clouds of dust from fertilizer coming right up to you. Go back and look. Save your lungs! Love your videos and love learning from an expert! Your in-laws are blessed to have such a wonderful daughter in law.

This was such a fun one to watch, the transformation was beautiful. How lucky to be related to you, you are so amazing with all you do and the beautiful ways you put things together, it gives me such inspiration and makes me ready to get into yard work. Soon all of our snow should be gone and then it will be fun to get to work in the yard. Thanks so much Laura, see you again, bye for now.

This makes me feel a lot better about messing up spacing in the past! I planted my front garden border with double the amount of plants I needed, and have since moved half then rearranged what was remaining. When I started gardening I had no idea that plants could grow SO fast, and that when a plant tag says 3x3 that plant might actually grow way bigger! Oops!

This area looks great already. Just last night I realized I want to move an azalea; I didnt have much of a plan when I planted it some 14 years ago and now it doesnt fit my vision for the garden space. Your tips will come in handy. Now to figure out where to move it once the ground thaws here in western New York.

Thank you for all these helpful videos, theyre game changers. Question: I have a planting area along a retaining wall that is an open area in which Id love to plant a slow-growing evergreen, but Im nervous about roots eventually ruining the wall. Any tips or suggestions? (Zone 6a)

We also had a front triangle garden to camouflage utility eyesores, but one day we came home fro vacation and the gas utility workers had dug up our beautiful garden to fix a gas line! As true gardeners, we rebuilt our garden and it never happened again in 20 years!

Great project! FYI, if you keep the dug out plants facing the same way as they were in the ground(mark w/spray paint or tie yarn to a branch, & replant in the same direction, they go through less shock, & establish more rapidly. Glad you didn't have to move the sprinklers!

I just did this with a rose that had full sun when I put it in, but a jasmine on the other side of the fence has taken over a pergola and shaded out poor Mary Rose. I wish I'd put the starter fertilizer in the hole when I transplanted! Love seeing updates!

Wow Laura! I remember when you planted this area. Can't believe it's been 4 years! I remember in a past video (before you and Aaron moved) you said that your in-laws lived next door. Were you able to check out your old garden? Love your videos!
