This was really good planting job, the acidity of the soil needs to 4.5 to 5.5 if it gets up to 6 it will stress the plant, clay is the worst thing for Azalea bushes, the ground should be loose. I have seen the good and the bad when planting Azalea's.
I am indigenous Montagnard live in NC mountain I love Azaleas I planted Red Pink Purple and white azaleas they are this moth we have a lot of rain here
Walter I'm sorry but I really miss you on Saturday mornings on the radio. Ashley is very nice but there is a lot of stuff she does not know. Anyway I think I would make a little ring of soil for the first year that would keep the water near the root area and I would water prior to mulching so I could see if any holes developed after watering.
What about planting the Azaleas seeds??I've got them growing from the plants and at the end of summer early fall got the seeds from them never planted the seeds along before only one that was already in bloom at the store so just wandering will I be successful with planting their seeds and want to start in flower pot in winter 8 side what would need besides soil and a planter por??
Walter is obviously taking the piss. I think they edited out the bit at the end where he whacks the azalea with his shovel because it didn't say thank you.

Went to Lowes looking for Foo Foo dust....they didn't carry it. ;)
Ha...lol
I was thinking the same thing.
So what did you get?
if clay is bad for azaleas, why mix it in the soil mix?
Nice planting job! 😂

You might get a response from Walter if you post your question at his website, www.walterreeves.com
Is October 23rd too late to plant an Azalea?
