I'm digging holes three times bigger than the pots, and filling in with soil from the hole, cleaned of all rocks, and mixed with old composted mulch.
After digging the hole, and before planting and backfilling, I am slamming the adze blade of a pick into the side and prying it up to split and loosen the clay-like soil all around so that the roots can find a way outwards as well as down.
