Before adding peat       moss and fertilizer to the hole, filling       them with water takes about 6 hours or       more to drain.              The idea was pots that do no blow over in       the wind and not having to amend ($$$)       the entire area.              The soil in these holes has worms in them       and feels really nice in my hands.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
