How much Soil Moist?

[Victor Van Meter]

I will be planting about 80 seedlings (Norway Spruce and American Plum) and was curious how much soil moist I should buy and how much to put in each hole? Thanks.

I'm not sure how much it really helps. I've tried WaterKeep. It may have more value in a more arid climate than mine. I put a capful in a 5 gal bucket and then added water to make a slurry. I dipped the roots of bare root seedlings in it before plant it. Any left over slurry I just dumped into the holes.

Thanks,

Jack

I am going to buy a pound and make the slurry like you suggested. I will dump a little in each hole as I go and dip the roots as well. Thanks.
