So my mother helped me plant some very small spires and juniper today. I had a great pine soil conditioner- topsoil mix I was using as the ground - soil was quite gravel like-
She didn’t amend soil- I poked around tonight and am so sad.
Do you think tomorrow I can lift and am end soil? We are having our first frost tonight- zone 6….
Please advise…. Thank you! .

Fall new planting- not quite right…
These days many experts say that you should not amend the soil for shrubs. You can see the reason at the following link. So your mother probably was right!
