The pain of sunburns, bug bites, poison ivy and other rashes may also be relieved using this home remedy.
To prepare the planting hole for a bareroot peony, dig the soil to a depth of 12-18. Use a garden fork to loosen the sides of the planting hole as well. Add a shovelful of compost and a handful of an all-purpose, organic, granular fertilizer, to the bottom of the hole and then add a shovelful of the original soil.
Add some compost and bonemeal to the soil if you haven't already. The soil around the peony may also have settled and buried the root too deep. The root should not be deeper than 2 inches below the surface. You can carefully lift the plant with a spade and add some soil and compost under the root ball to lift it up.he best time to transplant peonies is in the early fall, when the plants are becoming dormant. If you do transplant them this year, they will not bloom the following spring; unfortunately, it will take up to 2 to 3 years for the plants to recover before blooming in their new spot.
