Do I Need To Remove All Mold Found In Soil After Removing Dead Shrub?

Question

I removed a dead plant and the hole was filled with white covered soil that smelled musty. I have disposed of most of the soil. Do I need to get every last bit out? I also sprayed a good deal of neem oil in the hole as well.

Answer 1

Incorporate lots of compost and fresh garden soil into the hole. Do not plant the same kind of shrub into the same spot. Here is more:
