And the answer to your question is ...........














Yes I burlaped it because it is being transplanted to another property.

 

[Chevy1]

Whats the purpose of that

If it doesn’t fit closed it works as a transport for something larger

thank you sir - so you had to dig out - move it to someone property & then replant it? No wonder your back's screaming. So unless you're going to transport it somewhere - there is no real benefit in reburying with the burlap on it?

No need for burlap if just transplanting, only for transporting or extended time before replanting.

Found the answer to my question.

“Plant mint plants in bottomless containers that are sunk deep into the ground or grow them in large containers above ground. When sinking them in the ground, try to keep the container's rim at least an inch or so above the soil. This should help keep the plant from spilling out into the rest of the garden”

We always cut open the burlap partially and loosen up root system however leaving all semi intact while planting few inches over base.

?

Did it say how deep or was it just deep? My mint is all over the place where I don't want it.

It did not. I’m either going to try my bucket idea or I’m going to buy some terra-cotta pots which I will bury and then plant the mint in

Can I put lime and fertilizer down a day apart or do I need to space it out? Which one would you put down first if I have to space it out?

I've done 'em both the same day - nothing terrible happened.

 

[JackPrintMD]

I often do lime and fert together.

Yes you can put them down together, they even sell it together in one bag.
Question is why are you putting down lime? Did you have your soils PH tested?
If not , then your applying it just because?
You can’t apply it correctly if you don’t know the PH of your soil .

Spoken like a true Soilologist!!

Speaking of "Combos" the only fertilizer I've used up here were combos with weed controls so I'd put down the fertilizer plus crab grass pre-emergent inhibitor and then just a few weeks later, put down fertilizer plus broadleaf control as soon as the dandelions posted. Last year Scotts finally put the 2 together so now I only have "Weedilize" once a year, and give the lawn some food too. Saves $$ and I'm really not trying to have any kind of show lawn, just want it to be mostly grass and not weeds.

I'm the opposite these days - long gone is the urge to have a "Long Island Lawn" - if it's green - it's welcome to grow in my lawn........
