Good deal Scott. They are tough.
I decided to not use the mixing tub because the lilies will be pulled out in a couple of months. I only used top soil, because that's more inline with what the lilies will be buried in. I did add 2/5/3 fertilizer, and that's it.
Here's a root ball from one of the buckets, and they've both had a tremendous amount of growth in 6 weeks.
Done until August when I plant them in holes that match the size of the original buckets they were in.
