I plant local here, and those tend to be perennials since we do not really have seasons.

There is usually a little bit of effort getting them going but once they are established they are almost maintenance free except for occasionally pruning and feeding (especially local cultivars). -

Others not so much. I follow a similar pattern although I don't import manure or compost as I have plenty here to go around. You can't use chicken shit the same way as cow manure, but once it has had a chance to compost/breakdown it's excellent fertilizer. I also add in charcoal/biochar, and if it's going into pots I'll add something to help keep it aerated (chick grit and/or oyster shell work). -

Me too. Speaking of soil health, I tend to plant like a pot grower, namely digging out large areas of the clay and mixing it into with composed peat and cow manure. As the plant grows, its roots naturally break down the clay and mix up the soil.
