How to Plant. The hole you dig for your new conifer should be shallow and wide-twice the width of and more shallow than the height of the root ball. Unless the soil is very compacted or so light and porous that it retains very little moisture, you will not need to add organic matter. If soil drainage is a continual problem, consider creating a raised planting bed that has been amended to improve the soil. 3, record 3, English, - raised%20bed
