Classicfur,
Great information on the shredded/mulched leaves, as well not using Oak leaves. I appreciate the information. I always rake some of the leaves off around April 15th every year very carefully to help the ginseng babies get through the leaf litter. I did not do this my first year and the seeds sprouted and many got stuck under the compacted leaf litter. It is typically moist enough we do not have to worry about the ground drying out in a typical year when raking off a little bit of leaves or fluffing them up. Now this year is a different story. It was very dry in April. Everyone is doing similar ways of planting and it is interesting to see the small details we all take and to pick up tips and variations on planting.
Thanks,
Latt
