Hi! I’ve recently transplanted a few plants deeper into the ground. They were almost 3 feet tall and about 42 days old. I buried them to around 6or7 Inches from the ground. We’re getting a lot of rain at my location and I pretty much went into damage control. Figured I should’ve just got some stakes for support instead of burying them like that. I wanted to see if anyone out there has done this before or ,Anne heard of someone doing this and how did it turn out? I got a late start also.

im not understanding what your asking,mother nature we have no control over,are you saying you think that the plants arent draining well?are you saying you think the rain is doing them in because of it? make a trench from each one ,just deep enough to flow the runoff down a ditch type setup,dig from each plant a ditch about 2 or 3in deep were all the trench run to one deeper trench,that trench would be all the way around you plot,the water will runoff into it but still hold the water to go down in water table around your plot,so you dont lose all the nutes minerals what ever you feed with ,roots search and when they get to that trench there is food for them to stay in your plot,as far as for rain now bamboo stalks all four side of plant and plastic bag covering them ,not the whole plant,leave bottom of plant from soil up at least 2/3rds the plant for air,your just keeping water off them not the soil,when it stops raining,run out take bags off,starts raining again run out put bags back over the stakes in place,hope you get what i mean ,it is a manifold for your plot,yes still gonna get soaked but it will stay in your plot when the heat is on if you dig

My plants are vegging and these particular ones were all around 2.5 feet. I felt like they weren’t strong enough to support themselves with the heaven rain we’re getting so I replanted them deeper. They’re now about 8 or so inches from the ground. I used the concept for stretched seedlings. I wanted to see if anyone else has done this before
