Soil Prep for Your Crape Myrtle
It’s time to start digging! First, you will need to dig a hole three times the width of the size of the pot, and just as deep as the root ball. Set the soil you have dug out aside and mix it with compost. Remove the plant from its pot and gently loosen the root ball. Place the plant in the planting hole and replace the soil with the mix and gently pack down the dirt. To avoid planting too deep make sure the plant is at a position with the top most roots at the soil line. Your crape myrtle should be watered thoroughly for the roots to settle and to eliminate air pockets.
Crape myrtles grow in a wide range of soils from slightly alkaline to acidic and can tolerate sandy or clay soils. It prefers moist, well-drained sites but has some drought tolerance. The best soil for crape myrtle ranges from 5.0 to 6.5 on the pH scale. Most average garden soils fall between a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0.
A good way to find out the acidity of your soil would be to take a sample to the Cooperative Extension agent near you, for testing. You can also buy an at-home kit at most garden centers. Fertilizer should only be applied at correct times of the year. DO NOT PUT FERTILIZER IN PLANTING HOLE!
To protect your tree, please provide a 4 foot diameter weed and grass-free area. This will provide a water basin and minimize anything from taking water and nutrients from the tree. During spring and summer, 4-6 inches of mulch should be placed a few inches away from the trunk to provide good air circulation. The best type of mulch for your crape myrtle is acid mulch, pine bark or oak leaves. Do not mulch with mushroom compost.

Reviews for "Why Artists Love Crayola's Magic Brush Paper"
- Jane - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the Magic brush paper by Crayola, but I was left disappointed. The paper did not absorb the watercolor paint well, and it ended up looking blotchy and uneven. The colors also didn't come out as vibrant as I had hoped. I would not recommend this product for anyone looking to create beautiful watercolor paintings.
- Mike - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the Magic brush paper by Crayola. The paper felt flimsy and thin, and it began to tear easily when I tried to apply the watercolor paint. The colors also bled through the paper, which made the artwork look messy and unappealing. It didn't live up to my expectations, and I would not purchase this product again.
- Sarah - 3 stars - I had mixed feelings about the Magic brush paper by Crayola. While the concept is interesting, I found that the paper was too rough and didn't allow the watercolor paint to glide smoothly. It also took a long time for the paper to dry, which made it difficult to work with. The colors did come out decently, but overall, I found the paper to be mediocre and wouldn't recommend it to serious artists.
