I planted an apple tree in the yard last year. I put a bunch of diatomaceous earth in the hole. I can't remember my reasoning, but it was a good one. I poured a bunch in the hole. That tree got the VIP treatment of mat, mulch around the outer part of the mat, rock around the inner portion, window screen around the trunk, cage around the whole tree. It was a hellacious drought last year, but I kept it watered every weekend through the drought. That tree never looked great, but it never died. I wonder if I didn't cause it some trouble by filling the hole with a good amount of DE.
