This year I am thinking of using a pole digger auger to drill may be down to 48” and get some compost all the way down there.
What do you think? Any advice? Opinion? Experience?

I've used deep holes for years to good avail. My trick is to go catch a bunch of small fish (Bluegills, Red Ear type) and put a couple of the fish in the bottom of the hole and add a few inches of soil before putting in the plant. Good luck!
