How to Transplant a Rhododendron | This Old House
/ thisoldhouse
A weekend project that any home owner can do with a Bobcat that has bucket and forklift attachments...
rented for $100/day
Maxid1 That's bAWB-cAHt to you, buddy!
arobidy
the attachments maybe, not the bobcat. Over $300 a day minimum in my neighborhood.
This particular Bobcat looks like it’s owned by a landscape company. As was the truck with the compost. Probably be cheaper to just hire a landscape company to move it if it’s too large to do with the tools you have. After the cost of rental, gas, time and anything else that should creep up you’d probably come out ahead.
My rhododendron is much smaller, but thanks for the tips for transplanting! Just to be safe, I'll wait until spring. I've had mine for 17 years, and although it produces flowers every year, it really hasn't grown much.Fingers crossed that a new location will help it flourish.
Long slow waterings... With that fire hose lol
Those Fwoar fwoarks slid nicely underneath that ruut bwall allreyd
😂😂
Dont forget the STATAH FERTILIZAH!
Inaccurate... you added an "R" in "fehtahlizah"
The "Bawsten" accent replaces "R" with an h or w, and then adds an "R" randomly where one doesn't exist.
This accent is similar to young children who replace "R" with a W like when saying "wataw" instead of "water", it's really annoying
The word "or" becomes "oah" or "oowa"
"Escape" becomes "exscape"
The accent sounds like a speech impediment or form of linguistic impairment
Looks easy with the right tools.
Really glad that I came across this. I have a rhododendron that needs to be moved in the spring but I don't know where to put it
I need these guys in Michigan right about now.
I knew I’d get good info on transplanting this plant.
Beautiful home, would love to meet you there. But, I'm not comfortable. After the last time in Philippi. Hope your interested in coffee or breakfast at Mc Donald's. See you around 9 or 9:30. May do some shopping at the store if your late. Missing you
what kind of soil did they use to fill it all in at the end? I know they used compost around the roots, but what was the soil at the end that they mixed with the fertilizer?
yeah roger
What time of the year is best to move the plants?
Late winter /early spring
Turning it off as soon as I see the bobcat
Ruut buawl
Track machine? Bruh that’s a skid steer
But it has "faw fawks" so...
It's funny,
No matter how knowledgeable a person is, when they speak with that "Bawsten" accent they sound like an idiot.
The accent has annoyed me since I was a kid, and I'm from the Boston area, so I've always made an effort to consciously stop using it
Most people I meet have no idea I'm from the area, and I'm actually proud of that.
How deep is that? about 12" deep that's what she said"
