Jim Goode, owner of G and G Landscape and Design is a regular on the Joe Lowe Morning Show on 1490 WOMI. Each Wednesday morning Jim answers lawn and garden questions emailed or phoned in from listeners.

After several years of answering question Jim discovered many were either the same or very similar. In the next few weeks we are going to attempt to answer these repeating questions and post them here. This will give you the ability to log on anytime to get the basic information many homeowners are looking for.

Homeowners spend thousands of dollars each year buying plants, shrubs and trees for their yards. Many decide to make it a do it yourself project. Just digging a hole and dropping a plant in seems easy. Doing it the wrong way can double or triple the cost of planting if the shrubs dies. It is much better to take a few minutes and learn to do it right the first time.

In this interview Jim Goode talks about the size of the hole, how to prepare the plant, when to fertilize and how to maintain the plant material. Take the time to listen to his advise and you will be blessed with no-hassle planting.
