Hello Everyone,

Thanks Guys... I just like to read and try new things...

I also use plastic plates that i use under my containers inside during the winter, i do water with a small container so that i can control the amount of water that flows through the end and not push the soil around to much. In the summer i use a great spray nozzle with a small rose that allows me to water the containers in a soft manner. I did have issues before i found this attachment. : )

In the summer, i do take the hose and spray down all of my trees and give them a good amount of cleaning in the morning before the heat of the day. This helps clean up any pest that may be forming on the leaves and i can give them the once over as i water each one. They dont have any saucers when they are outside during the summer.

Al mentioned about not worring about water spots and burn. I have never had this problem and he is right about it being a myth. If anything i think they like the moisture and the attention that we give to them. What a perfect time to see and look at each plant and really see what its needs are!!!

I find that it is my time to relax when im looking at them and taking care of them.

TreeRoots, I certainly agree that it is alot of work taking and bringing the containers to and from the sink or tub. I would be doing that all day and night!! LOL..

Al is a great teacher and you all will learn so much from him. I am still learning and continue to enjoy all that he has to share!!!!

Those bottle caps do a great job!! LOL... Al, thanks!! Nice to see you too!

I posted a picture of one of ny Desert Roses in the Gritty Mix!!! It really loves this mix!!! : )

Take care,

Laura
