The area I had picked out for my mini orchard turns out to be 100% clay and some rocks. I knew there would be some clay and rocks but didn’t think it would be all I was digging through! I dug the holes last week right before a big storm, I’m in CA and we typically get one or two huge storms a year then we have months of drought. The holes I dug are completely full of water and draining slowly, will trees thrive with dirt like this? Should I make the holes larger or plant the trees on a mound to lessen the chance of root rot in the future?
