planting sitka in subsoil

    Five years ago I planted on a 4 acre plot. All grew okay with big height variations.

    However in a 60/80 meter strip, which crosses drains, some 6/8 meter wide where the surface was grey subsoil ( where a ditch was levelled) the trees failed as did the growth of any vegetation. Numbers are not huge, between 3 and 4 plants (at 2m Spacing) in each line.

    Anyone any suggestions? A fertiliser? Dung/some slurry (laborious)? Dig a new hole and plant into relocated topsoil? In the last case would a 3 gal (yellow) bucket full suffice?
