Anyway, since you love outdoors, you know there are trees on this earth, who handles growing without human interaction?
And they only have natural rain and groundwater.
But yes they do not grow everywhere but only at a specific ground. So most of them die at young age, who were unlucky.
And with gardening you try to engineer the right conditions, but because of the complexity, you just fail so a lot of times. There are basic rules to follow and the rest is experience.
So just relax about the thought that things can die because of you. That just will happen a lot with gardening.
And with your arborvitae, well for them it is mostly the soil that matters. Imagine them growing in the wild ... and then try to simulate that as much as possible.
So don't panic if the ground moisture is not allways perfect, it allmost never is in the wild. The trees grow nevertheless, unless the ground is really unsuitable. And then you can adjust a bit. But mostly your trees need a lot of water it seems. And then they will grow..
