How To Mix Compost With Soil When Planting

Question From: J. Little - OHIO
Q: Need planting information for Barberry bush. Your information says to use peat moss or compost. Do I put this at the bottom of the hole that I dig or do I mix it with the soil that I am returning to the hole?

A: I would use a good quality compost. Mix with the soil you are returning from the hole. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
