We interrupt this season's search for the perfect petunia for an absolutely brilliant tip on potting up combination pots. I have three whiskey barrels and a couple other large containers to plant in my landscaping and it's not a process I've ever really enjoyed because of all the planning and placement and respacing and adding and subtracting of soil. It always ends up being a bit of a messy business, especially if you are working with spreading plants that are mature and filling out.
- Just take spare empty pots the size of the ones you are removing the plants from.
- Place them in the larger container the way you want them.
- Fill the potting soil around them and firm it up.
- Remove the small pots one by one and replace with the plant itself.
How easy is that? Now I'm looking forward to potting up all those containers!
Brilliant idea and thanks for sharing.
